Van der Stadt – Strooker 900 Vita 30 “My Fair Lady” – characterful sailing yacht

The Van der Stadt – Strooker 900 Vita 30 “My Fair Lady” is a characterful, solidly built classic cabin sailing yacht from 1995. This special sailing yacht was built by Vreugdenhil’s Jachtenbouw in Alphen aan den Rijn to design no. 409 by E.G. van de Stadt. The combination of a Red Cedar woodcore/fiberglass reinforced Epoxy hull, oak frames, a dark blue hull and a warm mahogany/oak interior gives this ship a unique appearance.

With a length of 9.25 meters, a width of 3.15 meters and a draft of 1.50 meters, the Vita 30 offers a nice balance between sailing characteristics, comfort and practical usability. The fixed lead keel and displacement of approximately 4,000 kg contribute to a solid and stable character. Steering is traditionally done with a tiller, with a Navico TP100 autopilot present.

On deck, the present teak walking deck which extends over the foredeck, gangways, aft deck and cockpit. Furthermore, the “My Fair Lady” has a sprayhood, sea railing, pulpit and pushpit, swimming ladder, swimming platform, winter cover and two Bruce anchors. The aft cockpit has a movable cockpit table and offers a pleasant place to enjoy the outdoors while sailing or at anchor.

The interior is typical for a classic Dutch sailing yacht warm, atmospheric and executed in mahogany and oak. The spacious saloon has two longitudinal benches and a cabin table. There are two sleeping areas with a total of four fixed berths, a V-berth in the forward cabin and a double berth in the aft cabin. In addition, the longitudinal benches can be used as two extra berths. The accommodation is supplemented with a 100-liter water tank, electric compressor refrigerator, two-burner ENO gas stove with oven and a Wallas Marin petroleum heater.

Propulsion is provided by a Yanmar 2GM20 diesel engine with approximately 16 hp continuous power and 18 hp peak power, coupled to a Yanmar Kanzaki KM2P gearbox and propeller shaft with folding propeller. There are two VARTA batteries, shore power with battery charger and a battery monitor. The navigation equipment includes a Garmin GPSMAP 722 Plus from 2021, Furuno GPS Navigator, Silva depth sounder and Navico autopilot.

For the sailor there is an aluminum mast with four sails, including a Mainsail, Hagoort Sails High Aspect jib of 20.2 m² from 2022. In addition, an older Dacron genoa and halfwinder are present. The five manual Lewmar winches complete the rigging.

The current owners describe the “My Fair Lady” as a characterful and solidly built one-off sailing yacht with excellent sailing characteristics, ideal for lovers of classic wood-Epoxy yachts. The ship has regularly been on shore, the last antifouling treatment took place in 2025 and engine oil and filters are replaced annually.

Please note the coating of the hull and the anchor locker require some maintenance. In addition, the gas installation and shore power installation need to be adapted to current standards. Some electrical/navigation facilities are currently not functioning, including the VHF radio, the compass and the wind meter.

An interesting classic Van der Stadt Vita 30 / Strooker 900 for the enthusiast who values character, craftsmanship, wood-Epoxy construction and good sailing characteristics. The “My Fair Lady” is located in the sales harbor of Delta Marina Kortgene and can be viewed there by appointment.
