Worth knowing
Preste Yachts; cover, cost and conditions
Preste Yachts is a boatbuilder from Poland. It made its name with the Preste 18, a one-design keel dinghy drawn by Wojciech Kasprzak and shown by the yard at boot Düsseldorf in 2023, part of a push into German-speaking markets. The yard sums up the idea as a 49er for beginners: quick like a skiff, yet steady thanks to ballast and a lifting keel. The boat stands out for its flared deck edges, which let the crew on the trapeze stand far outboard, and for the lifting keel that makes launching from a slipway simple.
Our model records hold one design: the Preste 18 One Design, a sailing boat of 5.54 metres listed for build years 2017 to 2022. The entry does not reach recent build years. The yachting press quotes a weight of 338 kilograms and a lifting keel of 80 kilograms reaching 1.35 metres deep. She is sailed two-up with a 12.5 square metre mainsail, a 7.5 square metre self-tacking jib and a 29 square metre gennaker. No other models from the yard appear in our records, so every figure here belongs to this class.
A sporty keel dinghy spends its life between the trailer and the race course. Before each season, check the lifting keel mechanism, the keel case for wear and the trapeze wires and fittings, which carry real loads. Gennaker gear, from the bowsprit to the halyard and sheets, takes a beating in a breeze. On a used boat look for repairs along the gunwales and around the chainplates, where flared deck edges tend to take knocks at the dock. A sound road trailer with a well-fitting cradle matters as much as the boat itself.
