REFIT OF TAEKE HADEWYCH COMPLETE: A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS

The Taeke Hadewych is no ordinary yacht. Previously owned by the renowned sailors Eerde Beulakker and Hedwig van den Brink, the vessel has a rich history. The Van Westerhoven family, who now cherish this yacht, have a deep connection to its storied past. Toon van Westerhoven’s journey with the Taeke Hadewych began when, as a young boy, he first marveled at the frozen yellow ship on Terschelling, ultimately leading to unforgettable adventures guided by Eerde Beulakker.

A New Beginning

Taeke Hadewych had already left a lasting impression on Toon. Over the past decade, the yacht transitioned from Eerde Beulakker’s vessel to a beloved family treasure. Despite moments of doubt about selling, the Van Westerhoven family chose to preserve its legacy. They collaborated with naval architect Olivier van Meer to craft a refit plan that honored the boat’s soul while rejuvenating it for the future.
