For Sale: Classic Wooden Sailboat De Vries Lentsch 720 from 1938 – Authentic Dutch Craftsmanship
Are you looking for a characterful, classic wooden sailboat with a rich history and a solid foundation for further finishing? Then this De Vries Lentsch 720 from 1938 might be an interesting option. This ship, named 'Klaartje', was built at the renowned shipyard Het Fort 'Nieuwendam' and designed by the well-known Dutch ship designer De Vries Lentsch. With a length of 7.20 meters and a width of 2.40 meters, it is a manageable ship that is excellently suited for use on inland waters, lakes, ponds, and rivers.
Classic Design and Material Use
The hull and deck of this sailboat are made of teak, while the other woodwork is executed in mahogany. The fittings are made of copper, contributing to the authentic appearance of the ship. The mast is made of wood and has a height of approximately 10 meters. Thanks to the existing mast lowering system, it is possible to reduce the clearance height to about 1.00 meter, making the boat suitable for a wide range of sailing areas.
Sailing Equipment and Rigging
The boat is equipped with a sail plan consisting of a mainsail, a jib, and a storm jib. There are two sails available. Steering is done via a tiller in the open cockpit, which is self-draining. For safety and comfort on deck, there are fenders, lines, and a tarpaulin available. The teak deck offers a classic appearance and a solid walking surface.
Motorization and Technical Equipment
The built-in diesel engine is a Yanmar 2GM20 with a power of 18 hp. This engine was installed in 2015 and has engine number E04237. The engine is operational and had a maintenance service in September 2023. The electrical installation on board operates on a 12V system and is equipped with a battery charger.
Hull and Underwater Ship
In 2023, the underwater ship was completely stripped and treated with Finsulate antifouling. This is a sustainable and environmentally friendly antifouling solution suitable for both fresh and saltwater. Finsulate is known for its long lifespan of at least 15 years and is developed for static applications. This treatment contributes to the protection of the hull and reduces maintenance frequency.
Interior and Finishing
The interior space of the boat is currently stripped due to the recent placement of new frames. The necessary material for re-paneling the interior is available, allowing the new owner to complete the finishing according to their own preferences. The standing height inside is approximately 1.60 meters. The interior cushions have been recently reupholstered, contributing to the comfort on board.
