Trying to Identify a Franz Maas 36

[andreaswolfman]

Hi

I just purchased this 1972 "Franz Maas" sailboat.
Its a high tensile steel 36ft sailboat. All I know is that it was built in Holland.
I have been looking everywhere to try to find out about the design but it dosn't seem to match any Franz Maas I can see. The Keel and Rudder look like a standfast 36, but the deck and cabin profile look totally different. Also the Standfast yard in Holland as far as I can tell never made steel boats...
Can anyone recognize it?

Try looking under Frans Maas

This is only a guess, but I think you'll find it is a one-off based on the design he made for Palmer Johnson: the Standfast 36. If so, the bow is the sail, line, etc., bin. It will have pilot berths, swing out settee berths and two quarter berths. Deep sink near centerline. Bucket seat nav station to stbd, galley to port. The Dutch are renowned for building good steel boats.

Frans Maas boatyard was in Breskens the Nederlands.
