Hoek Classic 73 Dixbay

Andre Hoek's signature sheer line defines every angle of this 22-meter classic, where the renowned naval architect's eye for proportion creates a profile that appears to slice through water even at anchor. ALUBOOT HINDELOOPEN launched Dixbay in 2003 as a pure expression of contemporary classic yacht design, her aluminum hull carrying the clean geometry and refined detailing that distinguishes Hoek's work from Mediterranean pretenders. Her exterior reveals itself in carefully orchestrated curves that flow from a purposeful bow to a graceful transom, each element contributing to a visual harmony that reads as effortlessly correct from any vantage point. The coach roof sits low and long, its gentle crown complementing rather than competing with the hull's primary line, while deck details maintain the restrained elegance that marks serious yacht design. On the water, Dixbay demonstrates how thoughtful naval architecture translates visual appeal into performance reality. Her hull form cuts a wake that speaks to speed and efficiency, while her proportions create the kind of presence that announces quality without ostentation. This is yacht design as it should be practiced: confident in its choices, respectful of tradition, and utterly convincing in execution.
