EURO 1200 - Aft Cockpit version
KIT or Plans & Cutting Files
Based on the Waverunner 38....Hundreds already built. This yacht was designed with the family or entertaining in mind, this mid size motor yacht will find many admirers. The kit comes complete with steps leading down to the swim platform. A planing hull version would be capable of 20 - 25 knots with twin engines of suitable hp. The semi-displacement version will still cruise at 10 knots with a single 180 hp engine. A very popular boat and several have been already assembled from our kit.

This is now a WELL PROVEN design with many examples of the Euro 1200 already in service in all parts of the world.

This boat is designed in accordance with Lloyds for category 1 (unrestricted operating / sailing area), which is much better than the EU and other Classification Societies and the CE-A require. Complete stability calculations are included in the design package. All calculations are also cross referenced against ABS requirements to ensure that the design meets world-wide standards and specifications.

In the case of KITS, all plate parts belonging to the hull, deck and superstructure that are accurately cut to size are included. The parts are marked with the appropriate part number and engraved matching marking lines to assist in the assembly and location of the part in its position. Cutting method is Plasma / Oxygen, ensuring highest accuracy and smooth edges.

Plate parts are cut from Lloyds approved A Grade Shipbuilding quality STEEL that has been coated with factory applied Sigma weld MC welding primer. We use and recommend steel plate that has the official designation ISO standard 10474 or EN 10204 with 3.1.B certificate.

Euro 1200 sea trials Thursday 8^Th May 2003.

We gladly accepted the opportunity to be on board the Bruce Roberts Euro 1200 built by Kregting Jacht services on the 8^th of May at Jirnsum in the heart of Holland’s cruising paradise, the province of Friesland for some sea trials.

Upon arrival, our first look at the “live” Euro 1200 gave us a very pleasant impression of the real thing. Moored sideways, her beautiful lines and the dark blue hull with white saloon and flybridge ensure an eye-catching effect second to none.

We boarded the ship all at the same time from the same side and to our surprise she did not roll at all, the builder commented “How’s that for stability?” We were welcomed by the owner / builder in the spacious aft cockpit, easily accommodating the group of 8 persons.

The next pleasant surprise was the size of the saloon, enhanced by the cockpit on the same level as well as the size of the front windows, creates an atmosphere of space and light which is unusual for a boat of this size. All facilities like inside steering position, kitchen, shower / toilet and master bedroom, all with build-in storage lockers were completed by the owner to a high standard.

The engine compartment is accessed by a hatch in the saloon floor and is well laid out and professionally done with a refurbished DAF engine (120HP) water lubricated propeller shaft, batteries, boiler, tanks, electric converter and there is still sufficient space for a generator or additional fuel- and or water tanks.

Two 3-step stairs on either side of the aft cockpit give access to the side decks and a third staircase with very nicely shaped steps leads you to the flybridge which is somewhat uncommon for Northern Europe, but what a pleasant feature to have, providing the best possible view for the captain as well as the passengers and the perfect place to be under good weather conditions. You really feel to be a King (or Queen) on the water.

As we left the docks for our trial voyage we noticed the ship’s smooth response to the throttle and the rudder, as well as the absence of any vibration and hardly any engine noise, in spite of the non-insulated engine compartment and the reputation of refurbished DAF engines being noisy.

We were motoring at the relaxed speed of some 8 knots at 1800 rpm at 25% throttle along the canal towards one of the many lakes in Friesland. Our next stop being a waterside terrace at the lake brought along a fair number of spectators, asking the question about the material of the hull, assuming this being GRP judging from the rounded shapes and lines. Our answer of a steel hull & deck always prompted them to knock the hull in verification.

Some inclement weather during our return voyage prompted us to use the inside steering position which offers good visibility view all around for both passengers and captain on the slightly raised steering position. The spacious saloon comfortably accommodates 10 persons, 6 seats on the build in bench along the starboard side and 3 separate chairs behind the steering position at port side.

We challenged the captain to demonstrate the full forward to full reverse capabilities. At a speed of 12 knots it takes less than half the ships length to stop which is an excellent achievement.

We returned to the marina and mooring the Euro 1200 in reverse alongside proved to be as easy as can be, with some assistance from the bow thruster. The ship responds well to the rudder in reverse mode, again without any noticeable vibration or noise. This concluded a truly remarkable experience on the Euro 1200, thanks to the favourable weather conditions.

All in all a most enjoyable and enlightening experience, the Euro 12 is all you claimed she would be – and more! Thanks for a great experience, Yours, Edgar

	REPORT ON ANOTHER EURO 1200 Hi Bruce, I spoke to the owner of this Euro 1200 who’s very happy with the way she handles and sails, stability perfect, manoeuvring great. He cruised for about 100 hours on her in 2006 (inland and coastal waters only) but did not get her up to full engine power. She does 9.5 kn on 2800 rpm and he estimates she will do 10 to 10,5 kn on full throttle. He had some trim tabs fitted as advised by someone in Poland but had these removed as no noticeable effect. He hopes to receive around Euro 300.000,= and will then start building another boat, perhaps the Atlantic40. Regards, Edgar

	Another Euro 1200 built in Holland for a German client. We can supply kits, cutting files or Euro 1200's to any stage of construction.
	A small section of the spacious U shaped galley - We have prepared meals for 8 persons in a similar galley; space and function works well.
	Generous sized heads - shower and toilet etc - are a feature of all our Euro style motor yachts - this one shown is in one of the several Euro 1200's now in service.
	Command station in salon - there is another situated on the flying bridge.
	Looking aft from fly-bridge command station.
	The salon layout is similar in both the aft cockpit and aft cabin Euro 1200 motor yachts - in aft cockpit version the salon is on the same level as the cockpit.
