Specifications
Motorsailer 1200 – Characterful Steel Motorsailer with Classic Appearance and Versatile Options
This 1974 Motorsailer 1200 combines the robustness of a steel hull with the charm of a classic sailing ship. Built at the shipyard in Noord-Scharwoude, this vessel offers a solid foundation for both longer voyages and comfortable living on board. With a length of nearly 12 meters and a width of 3.40 meters, there is ample space for four berths, a spacious living environment, and extensive equipment. The round-bilge hull and dual steering positions make the ship suitable for various sailing areas, from inland waters to coastal waters.
Motorsailer 1200 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until January 19, 2026.
Classic Design with Practical Layout
The Motorsailer 1200 is equipped with a ketch rig, consisting of a mainsail, jib, and mizzen. The wooden masts and booms are currently stored in a secure shed ashore. The mizzen mast, both booms, and the rigging are in good condition, but the main mast requires attention, such as re-gluing and varnishing. Thanks to the roller mainsail and the foresail roller system, the sail plan is easy to operate, making the ship suitable for solo sailors or couples.
The teak deck gives the ship a warm, maritime appearance. Part of the teak deck needs replacement. This does not detract from the overall accessibility and appearance of the deck. The cockpit is equipped with a cockpit tent, pulpit and stern seats, and an electric anchor winch with chain, which facilitates mooring and anchoring.
Comfortable Living Space and Onboard Amenities
Inside, the Motorsailer 1200 offers a comfortable living environment with a thoughtful layout. The salon features a dining area, and the galley is equipped with a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, and freezer. Hot water is available, as well as central heating, making the stay on board pleasant even in colder seasons. There is an electric toilet with direct discharge to open water, and a separate shower cabin.
The sleeping accommodation consists of two fixed berths and two additional berths, making the ship suitable for a small family or guests. Mattresses are present, and the interior space is functionally arranged for both short stays and long-term living on board.
Engine and Technical Equipment
Propulsion is provided by a DAF 575 diesel engine with 120 hp and six cylinders. This inboard engine is electrically started and connected to a fuel tank of 800 liters, offering a wide range. The electric bow thruster facilitates maneuvering in harbors and narrow waterways.
The electrical installation on board consists of a 12v system, 240v shore power connection, and a diesel generator. There are three batteries, as well as a battery charger, alternator, inverter, and voltmeter. Navigation equipment includes AIS, autopilot, GPS, chart plotter, radar, depth sounder, log/speedometer, wind meter, compass, and VHF radio. Some of these systems still require connection to the onboard network.
Versatile Use – From Sailing to Living
The Motorsailer 1200 has been used as a houseboat in recent years and offers all the necessary amenities for that purpose. Thanks to the large tank capacity, heating, and extensive galley, long-term living on board is quite feasible. At the same time, the ship, with its dual steering (inside and outside), sail plan, and navigation equipment, is also suitable for trips on lakes, rivers, and coastal waters.
The hull has been recently maintained, with painting and antifouling carried out in 2024. The combination of classic lines, practical equipment, and solid construction makes this ship attractive to motorsailer enthusiasts looking for a characterful ship with potential.
Whether you are looking for a floating vacation home, a comfortable liveaboard, or a classic sailing ship with motor capabilities, this Motorsailer 1200 offers a versatile base with many possibilities for further personalization.
