Specifications
Cabin Sailboat 600 – compact polyester sailboat with cabin, mast and outboard engine (refurbishment project)
This Cabin Sailboat 600 is a compact cabin sailboat of approximately 6.00 metres in length and 2.20 metres in beam, built in polyester and intended for use on inland waters, lakes and rivers. The model offers an accessible entry into cabin sailing: manageable in size, with sufficient beam for stability and a practical layout for day trips or a simple weekend away. At the same time, this particular boat is clearly a project boat. It is offered as a refurbishment project and requires attention on multiple points before you can head out on the water carefree.
With a draft of around 0.75 metres, the Cabin Sailboat 600 is, in principle, suitable for many Dutch cruising areas where shallows and changing water levels occur. This makes this type of cabin sailboat interesting for those who enjoy sailing on sheltered waters and occasionally choose routes along reed beds, small islands or smaller moorings. The steering position is outside, which suits the character of a sporty, compact sailboat where, while underway, you maintain direct contact with wind, water and sail trim.
Cabin Sailboat 600 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 9 March 2026.
Hull, dimensions and handling on inland waters
The polyester hull provides a solid starting point for a refit, partly because polyester lends itself well to repair work, inspection and cosmetic improvements. The combination of 6 metres length and 2.20 metres beam typically gives this type of boat a pleasant compromise between manoeuvrability and tracking. On lakes and open inland waters, a cabin sailboat in this size can offer a lively sailing experience, while the beam helps the vessel feel stable in gusty conditions.
For buyers searching for a “6-metre cabin sailboat” or a “polyester sailboat with cabin”, this size is often attractive: compact enough to remain easy to manage, yet large enough to provide shelter and keep gear dry. Please note, however, that the current condition is described as poor; a thorough inspection of the hull, deck, fittings and through-hulls is therefore a logical first step.
Mast present, but rigging missing: opportunities for a custom build
An important feature of this sailboat is that a mast is present, but there is no rigging. This means the standing and running rigging, sails and associated deck hardware are incomplete or missing. For some this is a hurdle, for others it is an opportunity: you can reassemble the rigging based on your own preferences, cruising area and budget. Consider selecting suitable shrouds/stays, halyards and sheets, and matching the sail plan and hardware to the intended use.
Those who enjoy working on boats or are looking for a sailing project can find a base in this Cabin Sailboat 600 to build up step by step. It is also wise to check the mast step, chainplate/rigging attachment points and any deck reinforcements, so the final rig can be installed safely and correctly.
Mercury 5 hp outboard: manoeuvring in harbour and on the river
The boat is equipped with a Mercury outboard engine with 5 hp, manual start, and petrol fuel. A 5 hp outboard in this class is often intended for harbour manoeuvres, entering and leaving locks, and bridging calm spells on inland waters. However, the engine’s operation is unknown, which means you should allow for maintenance, adjustment or possible repairs. Prospective buyers are advised to include budget for servicing, fuel system checks and a general technical inspection.
Cabin and use possibilities: day trips and a simple weekend away
The cabin concept makes this type of sailboat interesting for those who want more than just open sailing. A cabin provides shelter during a shower, space to store gear, and the option to plan a simple overnight stay. In practice, a 6-metre cabin sailboat is well suited to relaxed day trips with breaks ashore, or a weekend on the water where you stay aboard in a basic but functional way. The final experience will depend heavily on how much you refurbish and outfit the interior and equipment.
Who is this Cabin Sailboat 600 suitable for?
This Cabin Sailboat 600 is mainly suited to buyers specifically looking for a refurbishment project: someone who likes to do the work themselves, is looking for an affordable entry into cabin sailing, or wants to build a boat with their own choices in rigging and equipment. Thanks to the combination of a polyester hull, compact dimensions, shallow draft and an outboard engine, it is a type of sailboat that—after repair and completion—can perform very well on inland waters, lakes and rivers. If you are looking for a project boat with a cabin and mast as a foundation, this offers a starting point with plenty of room for personal input.
