Sailboat National Cruiser

NEVER TOO LATE!

One of the most exquisite sailing yachts available on Lake Starnberg — Never Too Late!. A beautifully crafted 45 m2 National Cruiser with modern design and top-class performance, built at the fine shipyard of Markus Glas (multiple dragon champion) in Possenhofen/Lake Starnberg. Never Too Late! was launched in summer 2014 and impresses with excellent craftmanship. Well-kept by her present owner, she is a constant participant at almost all class- and Yardstick races in the area, with numerous top scores. Ready for the 2026 season! 

Never too Late! is part of a distinguished classic yacht collection and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a vessel from a knowledgeable collector who has maintained her with exceptional care and expertise. 

Highlights

Over decades, the National Cruiser-Class, founded in 1908, has seen some of the fastest lake runners of all times, preferably used in light-wind areas such as the German and Austrian alpine lakes. With almost 60 m2 of sails upwind and spinnakers with often 120 m2 or more, the 45‘s offer tremendous speed potential, while offering a comfortable illuminated cabin, a refrigerator, sound equipment, and a lot of space. 

With a completely modernized design, the renowned naval architect Klaus Roeder of Tutzing gave birth to another spectacular phase of the Class, with new keels and stand- alone rudders, and even more cockpit space, built-in electric drive and many other features. With more than 14 new builds, the Class sees fierce racing of top sailors on Lake Starnberg, Lake Constance and the Austrian lakes. 

Never too Late! comes with a second mast, almost new North 3Di-sails, a trailer, more than complete equipment, and possibly a berth at the Bavarian Yacht Club (on demand). The asking price for this ultimate lake cruiser including all of the above equipment is only € 215.000, about half of the price for a new delivery.
