Specifications
This traditional Westlander auction boat offers a characteristic appearance and robust construction, typical of the historical vessels from the Westland region. Originally designed for transporting horticultural products through the narrow waterways of South Holland, this boat is now used for recreational sailing on canals and ditches. With a length of 10 meters and a width of 2.60 meters, the ship provides a stable and spacious sailing platform, suitable for various recreational purposes.
Construction and Design
The hull of the boat is made of steel and has a flat bottom, resulting in a shallow draft of only 60 cm. This makes the vessel particularly suitable for shallow waters, such as ditches, canals, and inland waters. The clearance height is 150 cm, so low bridges do not pose an obstacle while sailing. Steering is done via a tiller, placed on the outside of the ship, ensuring direct and simple operation.
The deck features a wooden upper deck, which not only contributes to the authentic appearance of the boat but is also functionally arranged for storage. This makes the ship suitable for use in different seasons, with the deck providing protection against weather conditions.
Motorization
The boat is equipped with a Yamaha outboard motor with a power of 55 hp. The motor is electrically started and is firmly mounted at the rear of the ship. This configuration provides sufficient power for leisurely sailing on inland waters and allows for longer distances to be covered without compromising control or stability. There is one battery on board for starting the motor and any electrical facilities.
History and Use
The boat originates from the Westland, a region known for its extensive network of waterways and ditches. Originally used for transporting goods, the vessel was later converted for recreational use. The current owner has used the boat for leisure sailing and describes the experience as relaxing. The boat has mainly been used on canals and ditches, which aligns with the original design and sailing characteristics of the ship.
Equipment and Extras
Upon sale, the boat is delivered with a high-quality sail and sturdy rigging. This equipment contributes to the practical usability of the ship and offers possibilities for protection against sun or rain while sailing or at a standstill. No trailer is included in the sale.
This Westlander auction boat combines a traditional design with practical adaptations for contemporary use. The steel construction, wooden upper deck, and powerful outboard motor make the ship suitable for recreational use on inland waters. The flat bottom and low clearance height ensure wide applicability, while the simple steering and robust construction contribute to a functional sailing experience. Ideal for enthusiasts of classic vessels with a practical approach.
