Description
VAYU is the newest of the Robin Ten Toope and Van Dam Nordia Performance Cruiser 70 designs. Lightly used and fully equipped, she presents a substantial saving compared to a new-build project.

From the legendary Van Dam Nordia stable and designed by Robin Ten Toope, VAYU is an ‘as-new’ example of the Performance Cruiser (PC) 70. Constructed in the Netherlands and completed by Dokar Yachts in Turkey, her specification highlights include:

Aluminium hull, deck, and superstructure

Teak-laid decks

Volvo D7 265 hp engine with shaft drive

Bow thruster

Aluminium rig with Park Avenue boom

Doyle laminate sail wardrobe

Powered winches

Onan 17 kW generator

Air conditioning

Watermaker

Structural bimini with solar panels

Raymarine electronics package

3 double guest cabins plus twin crew cabin

Raised deck saloon profile

Teak interior joinery

Awaiting her first beneficial owner, VAYU offers a significant saving over a new custom-build and is available for sale exclusive of VAT with a Jersey flag for maximum market flexibility.

Manufacturer’s Comments:
VAYU is a Nordia 70 PC customized and finished by Dokar Yachts in Istanbul. She embodies all the characteristics of a true Nordia—strong, elegant, and luxurious—now enhanced with performance.

Van Dam’s long-held ambition was a yacht with sleeker lines, more aggressive styling, and sharper handling. While Nordias are already celebrated for their long-distance cruising, VAYU is a Performance Cruiser that retains comfort and stability. She is a true Grand Tourer, offering exhilarating sailing without compromising refinement.
