What's New
We are delighted to announce the first Etap Yachting “Open House” weekend at the Etap yard in Belgium for this forthcoming April 12th & 13th to which you are cordially invited.
Following the recent acquisition of Etap Yachting by Dehler Yachts there is much excitement for the future of our favourite yachting brand as these two prestigious names come together.
These are exciting times for Etap with a superb range of yachts including the 21i, 24i, 28s, 32s, 37s and flagship 46DS. Several changes are afoot and this would be an ideal time to talk to the builders and really see how well these boats are built. There will also be opportunities to order your boat for this Summer or plan for next year.
The Etap Yachting factory is situated in Malle just North of Antwerp, a taxi journey from Antwerp airport or a 2 ½ hour car drive from Calais (we can provide directions!).
Do let Woodrolfe Brokerage know if you would like to attend!
About the ETAP Owners Association
The ETAP Owners Association was formed in 2001, now has around 100 members throughout the UK and Eire with some boats cruising happily in the Mediterranean. we also have a large number of members who are keen trailer-sailers.
We have particularly strong groups around the Solent on the south coast and the East Coast Rivers, Crouch, Blackwater, Orwell and Deben, each organising rallies, barbecues and other events. From time to time we have paid visits to the ETAP factory and enjoyed the generous hospitality of ETAP Yachting NV.
A Newsletter is sent out periodically, containing a mix of social and technical information, as well as event reports.
We hope you will download the Membership Form and join us in the Association.

Recent topics include boat handling and the availability of spare parts. The Forum is open to anyone, whether a member of the ETAP Owners Association or not, but you must go through a simple sign-up process before being able to post.
