Specifications
Classic Grundel 600 from 1954 – Authentic Wooden Sailing Ship with Character
The Grundel 600 from 1954 is a traditional Dutch sailing ship with a rich history and a distinctive appearance. This ship is entirely made of wood and represents a timeless design that is beloved by enthusiasts of classic vessels. With a length of 6 meters and a width of 1.80 meters, this Grundel offers a compact yet functional layout suitable for leisurely trips on inland waters, canals, and lakes.
Grundel 600 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until February 16, 2026.
Authentic Design and Construction
The Grundel 600 is built with a flat bottom, resulting in a shallow draft of only 50 cm. This makes the ship extremely suitable for shallow waters and narrow waterways. The hull is traditionally constructed from wood, contributing to the authentic appearance and classic character of the ship. The wooden mast and accompanying rigging enhance this image and make the ship a striking presence on the water.
The steering is done via a tiller on the outside, providing a direct and intuitive sailing experience. The rudder is single and has been completely overhauled recently. In 2025, the rudder was restored, with the wood being updated, coated with fiberglass and epoxy, and finished with antifouling. New fittings and a flag holder have also been installed, enhancing both functionality and appearance.
Sailing and Motor Performance
The Grundel 600 is equipped with a traditional sail plan consisting of a jib and a mainsail, both made of linen. The sails are fully present and functional, making the ship suitable for authentic sailing pleasure. The wooden mast is equipped with a mast lowering bar, allowing the mast to be easily lowered. This also makes the ship usable as a motorboat, for example, for trips where low bridges need to be passed or when one prefers to sail without sails.
The built-in diesel engine from the brand Beta Marine, type 14, delivers 14 hp via two cylinders. The engine is electrically started and has approximately 290 running hours. Regular maintenance has been performed, including the replacement of oil, filters, and the impeller pump. The engine provides sufficient power for leisurely trips and maneuvering in harbors or narrow waterways. The available 60ah battery meets the basic needs on board.
Comfort and Equipment on Deck
The deck is finished with teak, which not only contributes to the classic appearance but also ensures a pleasant and safe walking experience. A swim ladder at the rear makes it easy to get back on board from the water, making the ship suitable for recreational use on warm days. For anchoring, an anchor with chain and line is available, allowing the ship to be securely moored.
Inside, the Grundel 600 offers two fixed berths, making the ship suitable for short overnight stays or weekend trips. The space is simple but functionally arranged, fitting the character of a traditional wooden sailing ship.
Versatile Use and Classic Charm
This Grundel has been used in recent years for pleasure cruising and day trips, mainly on inland waters, lakes, and canals. Thanks to the combination of sail and motor power, the ship is flexibly deployable, depending on the user's wishes and the conditions on the water. Whether it's leisurely sailing on a summer day or a relaxing trip with the motor, the Grundel 600 offers an authentic sailing experience.
The ship comes with a complete deck cover, which protects it from the elements when not in use. Currently, the vessel is dry and covered in a shed in Giethoorn, contributing to the preservation of the wooden construction.
A Classic for the Enthusiast
The Grundel 600 from 1954 is a ship for the enthusiast of traditional craftsmanship and classic lines. With its wooden construction, functional equipment, and versatile usability, this ship is an attractive choice for those looking for a characterful vessel for recreational use on inland waters. The combination of sail and motor options makes the ship suitable for various sailing conditions and personal preferences. A unique opportunity to own a piece of Dutch maritime history.
