Specifications
The Imke is a classic sailing yacht of the Harrison Butler brand, type Westwind, designed in 1928 in England. The ship has a length of 7.30 meters and a width of 2.45 meters, making it a compact and robust sailboat. The wooden hull has an S-bend shape, which contributes to the stability and seaworthiness of the Imke. With a draft of 1.25 meters, the boat is suitable for both shallow and deeper waters, while the clearance height of 11 meters allows for exploring a wide range of sailing areas.
Inside, the Imke offers a comfortable standing height of 1.80 meters and a small, practical cabin that accommodates two people. The cabin is equipped with a galley, a stove, a refrigerator, and a hand-operated toilet, which is environmentally friendly as the waste does not discharge directly into open water. The storage space is cleverly arranged, with benches that can also serve as storage compartments.
The sailing equipment of the Imke consists of a mainsail, jib, and genoa, with a furling system for the foresail that makes sailing easy. The wooden mast contributes to the yacht's classic appearance. The sailing performance is excellent, with a cruising speed of 6 km/h and a maximum speed of 8 km/h.
The Imke is equipped with a Bukh DV 10 inboard diesel engine from 1978, with a power of 10 hp. The engine consumes about 1.5 liters of fuel per hour, and the fuel tank has a capacity of 30 liters. The electrical systems on board include a battery charger, inverter, voltmeter, and shore power connection, with a total battery capacity of 200 Ah divided over two batteries.
Safety is ensured by a self-draining cockpit and an electric bilge pump. The ship is further equipped with a teak deck, sprayhood, outdoor cushions, fenders, and lines. For anchoring activities, there are two anchors with chain attachments on board.
The Imke has a rich history and has sailed between France and South England, before being recently used mainly on the IJsselmeer and the Zeeland waters. The teak deck was renewed in 2017, and in 2024 the boat underwent a recent antifouling treatment.
With its rich history and reliable construction, the Imke is an ideal choice for enthusiasts of classic ships who enjoy both historical charm and modern sailing capabilities.
