Specifications
Cascaruda 800 – Steel Cabin Boat from 1970 with Mercedes Inboard Diesel
The Cascaruda 800 is a steel cabin boat measuring 8 meters in length and 2.70 meters in width, built in 1970. This boat is designed for use on inland waters such as canals, lakes, ponds, and rivers. Thanks to its shallow draft of 80 cm and a clearance height of 1.35 meters, the boat is suitable for a wide range of sailing areas, including waters with low bridges. The hull is made of steel and features a V-bottom, which contributes to stability and handling.
Engine and Drive
The Cascaruda 800 is equipped with a Mercedes OM6363 inboard diesel engine with a power output of 38 hp. The engine is electrically started and has received annual maintenance up to and including 2022. In 2021, various parts were replaced, including the engine mounts, cooling lines, glow plugs, diaphragm of the diesel pump, and the V-belt. The valves were also adjusted at that time. The engine is operational, although there is a rattling exhaust that still needs to be secured. The boat has two batteries (starter and consumption), with the consumption battery due for replacement. The electrical system operates on 12V and shore power.
Interior and Layout
Inside, the Cascaruda 800 offers a practical and compact layout. In the bow, there is a fixed sleeping area for two people, which also serves as a bench. The dinette can be converted into an additional sleeping area, bringing the total to four berths (2 fixed, 2 additional). The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, refrigerator (operating on gas and electricity), various storage cabinets, and a manual toilet. The water tank has a capacity of 80 liters. The toilet discharges directly into open water.
The wheelhouse is equipped with a steering wheel and a comfortable high driver's seat. Steering is done from inside, providing protection against the elements. In good weather, the cockpit tent can be opened, creating an open sailing experience. The boat is equipped with a swim ladder, making it easier to get in and out of the water.
Equipment and Extras
On deck, there are various pieces of equipment, including an anchor with chain, fenders, lines, and bollards. The boat has a cockpit tent that provides protection against rain and sun. A bilge pump is not present. No trailer or dinghy is included. Various kitchen necessities are included in the sale.
Maintenance and Known Issues
The boat was completely sanded down and treated with primer layers, paint, and antifouling in 2021. In 2022, antifouling was reapplied, and the anodes were replaced. The upper deck was repainted in 2021 but now shows some rust spots and issues that require a new coat of paint. The hull is due for maintenance. The upholstery of the bench in the wheelhouse needs replacement. There is a paint damage visible on the right front of the boat, under the name. The boat is not registered, and VAT has been paid.
Sailing Experience and Suitability
The Cascaruda 800 is suitable for day trips, weekend getaways, and vacations on the water. The boat is easy to steer and responds well to the rudder, making maneuvering in narrow waters easier. Thanks to the covered wheelhouse, it is comfortable to sail even in less favorable weather. The boat is designed for recreational sailing and offers basic amenities for multi-day trips.
