Why is a cover not necessary?
Serval 26 maintenance-free en self-draining
The Serval is self-draining, so after rainfall or navigating through waves, the built-in self-draining system automatically expels any water that enters. Therefore, a cover is not needed!

What kind of propulsion is suitable?

Due to its unique hull speed, very little power is needed to propel the boat, allowing you to sail quickly and for long durations with minimal power. This makes the boat particularly well-suited for use with an electric outboard motor.

Can the Serval sail fast?

How did the boat's design come to life?
Serval 26 classically lined aluminium tender
Nigel Irens is a well-known figure in the world of water sports. Over the past 45 years, he has designed various sailing and motor yachts, winning accolades for his work. The design of the Serval also originates from Nigel Irens, although 'his Serval,' the Claraboat, is made of wood. However, we have had the privilege of adapting his design for our saltwater-resistant aluminum sports tender: The Serval.

Can the boat withstand saltwater?

Aluminium 5083 is a naturally hard (non-heat treatable) alloy, renowned for its resistance to saltwater corrosion. This is why 5083 aluminium is commonly used in yacht construction and the food industry. This type of aluminium develops a gray patina.
