Worth knowing
Hitters-Proost; cover, cost and conditions
Hitters-Proost is listed in our records as a builder of classic motor yachts. Nearly the whole range carries the Cupido name in several trims: the plain Cupido, the Cupido de Luxe and the Cupido Royaal. The number is the length in metres, written with a comma, so the Cupido 7,30 is 7.3 metres and the Cupido de Luxe 11,75 exactly 11.75 metres. The Gulien 9,30 and the MS 11,50 follow the same pattern, which makes the yard's boats easy to spot in a listing. We have no confirmed details on the yard's base, founding or construction.
Our model records list nine Hitters-Proost designs: six motor yachts, one motorboat and two sailing yachts. Seven carry the Cupido name, four of them with the de Luxe suffix. The motorboat is the Cupido 7,30, the sailing yachts are the Cupido Royaal 8,30 and the MS 11,50. Five types start in 1967, and the unnumbered 11 metre Cupido de Luxe has the longest run, from 1971 to 1983. Lengths go from 7.3 to 11.75 metres, with three boats at 8.3 metres.
These are classic boats now, the youngest more than forty years old, and their value rests on care. Engine, wiring and joinery tell the story of past owners. Many spend their summers on rivers and canals, where locks and low bridges set the pace, and a heated or roofed winter berth helps the interior wood survive another season.
