Specifications
Midget cabin sailboat: compact GRP boat with cabin and Yamaha 8 hp outboard
This 6.00-metre Midget cabin sailboat is a compact, practical boat for anyone looking for an affordable project or a base to rebuild to their own requirements. With its GRP (polyester) hull, a beam of 2.40 metres and a draught of approx. 0.75 metres, this type of boat was originally designed for versatile use on inland waters. Think lakes, waterways and rivers, but also canals and ditches where limited draught and manageable dimensions make boating easier. The boat is offered as a former cabin sailboat; mast and rigging are missing. As a result, the focus is now on use as a small motorboat or on a refit into a sailing project.
Midget cabin sailboat now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 9 March 2026.
Dimensions, hull and handling on inland waters
At 6 metres in length, this cabin boat offers a pleasant balance between space and easy handling. The 2.40-metre beam provides relatively good stability for this size, which can be especially nice on open lakes when there is some chop. The draught of about 75 cm makes it possible to navigate shallower stretches and reach moorings that deeper-draught boats cannot easily access. In practice, GRP is popular due to its low maintenance requirements and the ease with which repairs and modifications can be carried out—an important advantage for buyers who like to do their own work.
Because it is a former sailboat, the hull shape is generally aimed at good tracking and efficient movement through the water. Under power, this often translates into calm, predictable handling at lower speeds—well suited to relaxed cruising and day trips.
Engine: Yamaha 8 hp outboard (operation unknown)
The boat is fitted with a Yamaha outboard engine with a stated output of 8 hp, running on petrol. This power suits the character of a compact cabin boat: adequate for manoeuvring smartly in harbours and narrow waterways and for relaxed cruising on inland waters. The engine’s operation is unknown, meaning a buyer should allow for inspection, servicing or possible overhaul. For many boaters this is a manageable process: outboards are relatively accessible in terms of maintenance and replacement, and Yamaha parts and service are generally widely available.
Cabin and use possibilities: day trips, cruising and project boat
A cabin sailboat in this size class is often chosen for the extra shelter and practical nature. Even if the boat is no longer used for sailing, a cabin remains a plus for day trips: sitting out of the wind, keeping gear dry, and having a place to take shelter during a shower. This makes the boat attractive for leisure boating on lakes and rivers, or for relaxed trips through urban canals.
Because the mast and rigging are missing, there are broadly two logical directions. The first is to use it as a compact cabin motorboat, focusing on calm cruising, mooring and enjoying time on the water. The second is to return it to a sailing configuration, with the buyer selecting a mast, standing rigging and sails to suit the intended use. For a capable DIY enthusiast, this can be an opportunity to build a Midget cabin sailboat to their own vision.
Condition and points of attention during viewing
The boat is offered in poor condition. This makes a viewing with a critical eye important, especially with a GRP cabin boat. Consider checking the hull for damage, previous repairs, moisture issues, and the condition of the deck and superstructure. It is also advisable to have the engine tested or at least assessed for completeness and general condition, as its operation is unknown. Furthermore, no documentation is available, meaning the actual equipment and technical condition must be assessed primarily on site.
Who is this Midget suitable for?
This Midget 6.00 is mainly of interest to buyers looking for a compact cabin boat with potential: as a starter project, as a base for a simple inland-water motorboat, or as a starting point for a rebuild into a sailboat. Thanks to its dimensions, shallow draught and the included Yamaha 8 hp outboard, this vessel offers an accessible route to boating on canals, ditches, lakes and rivers, with the freedom to improve the boat step by step to your own wishes.
