Specifications
Cabin sailboat 700 – project boat with inboard engine and mast, suitable for inland waters
This Cabin Sailboat 700 is a compact cabin sailboat of approximately 7.00 metres in length and 2.20 metres in beam, built in polyester (GRP) and designed for use on inland waters such as lakes and rivers. With a draft of around 0.75 metres, this type of sailboat generally offers a practical balance between stability and accessibility, keeping many cruising areas in the Netherlands and Belgium within reach. This is explicitly a project boat: the vessel is in poor condition and is therefore mainly of interest to buyers looking for a fixer-upper, a restoration project, or a base to rebuild to their own specifications.
Cabin Sailboat 700 now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 9 March 2026.
Hull, dimensions and handling on inland waters
At 7 metres, this cabin sailboat falls into a popular size range for those looking for a manageable boat that can still offer enough space for a weekend away. The GRP hull is a commonly chosen material in recreational boating due to its relatively low maintenance requirements compared with, for example, steel or wood, and because it lends itself well to repairs and modifications. The 2.20-metre beam keeps the boat compact enough for berths in busy marinas, while the 0.75-metre draft is, in theory, favourable for shallower routes and sheltered cruising areas.
The sailing experience of a cabin sailboat in this size is typically characterised by manoeuvrability and good visibility, with a layout that can be suitable for day trips and short holidays. At the same time, it is important to emphasise that the current condition of this boat affects actual handling and safety; a buyer should take into account inspection, repair work and recommissioning of essential systems before carefree cruising is possible again.
Sailing equipment and rigging: mast present, rigging missing
A key feature of this offering is that a mast is present, but the rigging is missing. For anyone wanting to return this cabin sailboat to a sail-ready configuration, this means additional investment will be required in components such as standing rigging, halyards, sheets and possibly fittings and deck hardware, depending on what is still on board and what needs replacing. At the same time, this provides the opportunity to build the rigging plan to personal preference, for example with modern lines, a different sail plan, or adapted deck equipment suited to the intended use on lakes and rivers.
Inboard engine: present, operation unknown
The boat is equipped with one inboard engine; make and model are not specified and its operation is unknown. An inboard engine can be a valuable addition on this type of cabin sailboat for harbour manoeuvring, motoring sections and getting home safely when the wind drops. In the current situation, however, it is sensible to assume that diagnostics and possibly an overhaul or replacement may be required. Prospective buyers looking for a sailboat with an engine are advised to have a technical inspection carried out, including the fuel system, cooling, gearbox and propeller shaft installation, to determine what steps are needed to make the propulsion system operational again.
Intended use: day trips, leisure cruising and weekend getaways
In principle, this type of cabin sailboat is suitable for day trips, leisure cruising and weekend getaways, especially on sheltered inland waters. The cabin typically offers the ability to sit out of the wind, store gear dry and make time on board more practical than on an open sailboat. For buyers who enjoy DIY work and want to build up a boat step by step, this Cabin Sailboat 700 can be an interesting starting point to create a personal layout, equipment list and finish to match their own cruising plans.
Key points of attention for buyers of a project boat
Because the boat is in poor condition and no documentation is available, a thorough inspection is particularly important. Consider checking the hull and deck, any moisture issues, fittings, through-hulls, the electrical system and the condition of the engine compartment. It is also unknown when the boat was last taken out of the water or when antifouling was applied, meaning the underwater hull and skin fittings deserve attention before the boat is used intensively again.
This Cabin Sailboat 700 is therefore mainly suitable for a buyer specifically looking for a cabin sailboat refurbishment project: a 7-metre GRP sailboat with mast and inboard engine, intended for inland waters, where the eventual value and cruising experience will strongly depend on the extent of the restoration and the choices made during the rebuild.
