The client chose Van Dam Nordia because of the yards renowned craftsmanship and professionalism, combined with some impressive cost efficiencies.
The Truly Classic 80 (TC 80) design by Hoek Design represents an evolution of the concept developed for the TC75 yacht, with separate crew accommodation and larger engine rooms. The main engine room on the Truly Classic 80 (TC 80) is located under the deckhouse floor without having any impact on the interior volume. All the cabins can be made more spacious and have ensuite facilities.
