De Vries Lentsch 950 – Classic Steel Cruiser with Modern Motorization
General Overview of the De Vries Lentsch 950
The De Vries Lentsch 950 is a steel motorboat from 1975, designed and built by the renowned Dutch shipyard De Vries Lentsch. This shipyard is known for its craftsmanship and classic lines, which are clearly reflected in this model. With a length of 9.50 meters and a width of 3.00 meters, this cruiser offers stable and comfortable sailing on inland waters such as lakes, ponds, and rivers. The clearance height of 2.50 meters allows it to pass under most bridges, making the boat suitable for a wide range of sailing areas.
The De Vries Lentsch 950 is now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until February 16, 2026.
Construction and Layout
The hull is entirely made of steel, contributing to the ship's robustness. The draft is 70 cm, making the boat suitable for shallower waters. Inside, there is a headroom of 1.90 meters, providing a comfortable living space. The boat features an interior steering position with a steering wheel and a single rudder, which, combined with the electric bow thruster, ensures a high degree of maneuverability. The boat can almost turn on its axis, facilitating maneuvering in harbors and narrow waterways.
Interior and Accommodation
The interior space is functionally arranged with a dining area, stove, refrigerator, and mattresses. There are two fixed berths and four additional berths available, making the boat suitable for overnight stays with multiple people. The sanitary facilities consist of a manual toilet with direct discharge to open water.
Motorization and Technical Equipment
In 2022, the boat was equipped with a new Mitsubishi Craftsman inboard diesel engine with a power of 40 hp. This four-cylinder engine currently has 175 operating hours and is electrically started. At the same time, the propeller, fuel tank, water tank, batteries, and bow thruster were renewed. The fuel tank has a capacity of 60 liters, as does the water tank. The cruising speed is around 8 km/h, with a maximum speed of 12.5 km/h. The engine is housed in a soundproof box, contributing to a quieter sailing experience.
The electrical installation consists of two batteries, a battery charger, alternator, inverter, voltmeter, and shore power connection. The system operates on 12v. The onboard instruments include a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer.
Exterior Equipment and Deck Equipment
The exterior space is equipped with a sprayhood, cockpit tent (renewed in 2023), tarpaulins, outdoor deck chairs, fenders, lines, and a swim ladder. The spacious cockpit offers ample seating and is suitable for social moments on board. The boat has one anchor with a line, but there is no anchor winch present.
Maintenance and Condition
The boat was last provided with antifouling in 2023. There is damage to the woodwork of the roof due to a leak. The boat is not registered.
Usage and Sailing Experience
The De Vries Lentsch 950 has been used for day trips and weekend stays on inland waters. The owner describes the boat as a handy cruiser with a spacious cockpit and a classic appearance that regularly elicits positive reactions from other water sports enthusiasts. The boat is designed for relaxed sailing trips and offers sufficient comfort for short stays on board.
History and Particulars
The boat is yard-built and has undergone various updates over the years, including a complete engine replacement and technical renewals in 2022. In 2023, the hull was repainted, and the aft tent was renewed. The combination of classic lines and modern technology makes this cruiser a characteristic vessel with its own identity.
Summary
The De Vries Lentsch 950 is a steel motorboat with a rich history and functional equipment for recreational use on inland waters. Thanks to recent technical updates and its characteristic appearance, this ship is suitable for enthusiasts of classic cruisers who value practical sailing properties and a spacious layout.
