Winner 12.20 Buyer's Guide
The Winner 12.20 on the used market is a 40-foot Dutch cruiser from Winner Yachts' van Tongeren-designed line, the builder's top model in Enkhuizen. She carries the solid-fiberglass, lead-ballasted construction and a fractional sloop rig with 86 square meters of sail. For a shopper, the appeal is a boat that period testers found quick and well mannered in stronger winds yet easily driven in light air, with an effective and unfussy deck layout that keeps handling simple.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common layout seen among used Winner 12.20s, though both owner and charter-style plans turn up. Ex-charter examples are common on the brokerage market, so a buyer should expect to evaluate both privately maintained boats and former fleet boats. The 40-foot hull with a 10.40-meter waterline and 3.75-meter beam gives a roomy interior that period reviews called unexpectedly opulent, with details like suede straps reflecting the designer's hand.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, heating, electric winches, autopilot, teak decks, and a chartplotter are commonly fitted, which for a buyer means most boats will already have the core cruising systems in place. Often-seen additions include a gennaker or asymmetric spinner for offwind pace, hot water, and radar. The practical clusters to weigh are power and energy — heating and electric winches drawing on the standard diesel setup — and sail handling, where a gennaker or asymmetric spinner broadens light-air range but adds deck gear to inspect.
What to Inspect
Winner Yachts used high-quality isophthalic resins to prevent osmotic blistering, so a survey should still confirm hull gelcoat and below-water condition on any example anchor. The deck was laminated to the hull from the inside for a rigid, leakproof joint, so examine that junction for any movement or staining that would signal a failed bond. The opulent interior with suede straps and detailing warrants a close look for wear or water ingress around windows and deck penetrations, since the unfussy deck layout still carries the usual chainplates and through-hulls.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical market for the Winner 12.20 is the Netherlands. For a buyer, the checklist is short: prefer an owner three-cabin example if private use is the goal, budget for a thorough hull blister and deck-joint survey, confirm the commonly fitted heating and electric winches work, and treat ex-charter boats as needing closer interior wear assessment. She remains a quick, easily driven 40-footer with a well-detailed interior for those who value performance alongside comfort.
