Specifications
Gillisenvlet 900 from 1969 – Classic Steel Motor Launch with Character
The Gillisenvlet 900 is a steel motorboat with a rich history and a distinctive appearance. Built in 1969, this launch is an example of traditional Dutch craftsmanship and is designed for comfortable cruising on inland waters such as canals, lakes, ponds, and rivers. With a length of 9 meters and a width of 3.99 meters, this boat offers ample space for recreational use or as onboard accommodation.
Dimensions and Construction
The hull of the Gillisenvlet 900 is made of steel and has a round bilge shape, which contributes to its stability and sailing characteristics. The draft is 80 cm, making the boat suitable for shallower waters. Inside, there is a headroom of 1.80 meters, providing a comfortable living space.
With a weight of approximately 9,000 kg, the boat is robustly built. Steering is done via a wheel from the inside steering position, and the vessel is equipped with a single rudder.
Engine and Technical Specifications
The Gillisenvlet is equipped with an inboard diesel engine of 12 hp, with two cylinders. The engine is electrically started and dates from the same year as the boat: 1969. The engine has an estimated 1,000 running hours and is started monthly to keep it in condition. The cruising speed is around 12 km/h, with a maximum speed of about 14 km/h. The fuel tank has a capacity of 400 liters, providing a large range.
The boat features a diesel-powered bow thruster, which facilitates maneuvering in harbors and narrow waters. Onboard, there are various measuring instruments, including a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, and temperature gauge.
Electricity and Batteries
The electrical installation includes a battery charger and shore power connection. There are two batteries on board, including a Varta Professional Dual Purpose battery (model LF140) with a capacity of 140Ah (12V). This battery is suitable for both starting and power supply on board.
Interior and Equipment
The accommodation is equipped with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, oven, and mattresses. There is one fixed berth available. The boat has a manual toilet with direct discharge to open water. The water tank has a capacity of 200 liters.
A cockpit tent provides shelter in the open cockpit, making the stay on board more pleasant in changing weather conditions. For anchoring, there is a manually operated anchor winch with chain and one anchor available.
Maintenance and Documentation
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2023, during which antifouling was also applied. No known defects have been reported. The original English-language manual is available. The boat is not registered.
History and Use
The current owner has mainly used the boat as living space and has not sailed with it for the past two years, but has kept the engine running monthly. Previously, the boat was owned by a harbor master. The boat has been used on various inland waters in the Netherlands.
Summary
The Gillisenvlet 900 is a classic steel motor yacht with a functional layout and a distinctive appearance. Thanks to its low air draft and limited draft, the vessel is suitable for a wide range of inland waters. The available facilities make it possible to stay on board for extended periods. This launch offers a solid foundation for enthusiasts of traditional sailing and is ready for a new owner who wants to further utilize or personalize the vessel.
