Worth knowing
Beaconax Yachtbau GmbH; cover, cost and conditions
Beaconax Yachtbau is based in Wiefelstede in the Ammerland district of Lower Saxony. The yard builds the Bluestorm range, small sailing yachts in the 700, 750, 800 and 900 sizes. They were drawn by the English designer Keith Callaghan, whose name is otherwise linked with racing dinghies and sportsboats. A Bluestorm is easy to recognise by her twin keels: instead of one central fin she stands on two angled keels with twin rudders, which lets her sit upright when she dries out on a tidal mooring. The hull combines glassfibre with wood. The boats are light enough to trail and set up to be sailed single-handed, and the models of the range share the same rig dimensions.
Our model records list one design under this company name: the Bluestorm 800, a sailing yacht of 8 metres built from 2021 to 2025. She has a beam of 2.8 metres, draws about 1.7 metres and displaces around 1,500 kilograms. The smaller Bluestorm 750 from 2019 appears in our records under a separate company name, while the 700 and the 900 are not listed. The entry does not run into the most recent build years; the last year on record is 2025. Every Bluestorm 800 is therefore a young boat from a five-year build window, and the differences between examples lie mainly in equipment and sail wardrobe.
Twin keels change the routine of ownership. Drying out on a sandbank or a tidal berth is part of the appeal, but every grounding puts load on the keel roots, so check the joints between keels and hull for cracks or weeping after a season of taking the ground. The rudders sit low and deserve the same look. Where glassfibre meets wood, keep an eye on sealant and varnish, since water that gets behind them causes trouble slowly. On a used Bluestorm, ask how the boat was kept, on a trailer or on a mooring, inspect the trailer itself and check the standing rigging, which on a light, easily driven boat sees a lot of work.
