Specifications
Classic Kipper Transom Sloop from 1945 – Authentic Wooden Sloop with Trailer
This characteristic Kipper transom sloop from 1945 is a classic example of traditional English craftsmanship. Built by E. Dove Boatyard in Devon, England, this sloop is a representative model of the clinker-built wooden boats that were popular on European inland waters in the mid-20th century. With a length of 5.00 meters and a width of 1.80 meters, this sloop offers space for relaxing trips on lakes, rivers, and canals.
Construction and Materials
The hull of the sloop is made of ash wood, clinker-built and copper-riveted, contributing to its classic appearance and structural strength. The finish with teak edges and a rubbing strake gives it a traditional maritime character. Both the foredeck and aft deck were renovated in 2002 with iroko wood, a durable wood known for its weather resistance and long lifespan.
Motorization and Technical Specifications
The sloop is equipped with an inboard diesel engine from the brand Vetus, type M2C5A402A, with a power of 11 hp. This engine was installed in 2000 and runs on diesel fuel. The fuel tank has a capacity of 10 liters, which is sufficient for day trips on inland waters. The engine is operational and provides a quiet and stable ride. The boat is equipped with a manually operated anchor winch, an anchor with chain and line, and features a swim ladder for easy access to the water.
Equipment and Accessories
The Kipper transom sloop comes with various accessories that contribute to comfort and safety on board. The equipment includes:
- Tarpaulin(s) for protection against weather conditions
- Fenders and lines for mooring
- Teak deck for a classic look and grip
- Life buoy for safety
- Oars with oarlocks
- Boat hook, mooring line, and lock
Additionally, there is a logbook available that records the maintenance and use of the boat. The boat was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024 and underwent an antifouling treatment in the same year.
Trailer Included
The sale includes a Capo road trailer, model L500/450, with a license plate. This trailer was built in 2000 and is suitable for road transport. The trailer allows for easy transportation of the sloop and launching at various locations.
Usage and Sailing Experience
The sloop has mainly been used on inland waters for day trips, pleasure cruising, and vacations. The low clearance height of 80 cm allows it to pass under low bridges, significantly expanding sailing possibilities. The draft of only 30 cm makes the sloop suitable for shallow waters.
A special feature of this sloop is its classic appearance, which often draws admiring glances on the water. The boat offers an authentic sailing experience and is suitable for enthusiasts of traditional wooden vessels.
