Specifications
Sloop 500 ready for relaxed cruises
Offered via Boatauction, this Sloop 500 is an accessible polyester sloop measuring 5.00 metres in length and 2.00 metres in beam, made for carefree days on the water. The boat has a round-bilge hull shape, giving her a friendly look and, at leisurely speeds, a pleasant, stable feel. With a draft of around 40 centimetres, she is at home on many Dutch inland waterways—from canals and ditches to lakes, ponds and rivers. This is the kind of sloop you can take out spontaneously for an evening cruise, but just as easily plan a weekend away with a picnic basket on board.
The Sloop 500 is fitted with outboard steering, so you can sit out in the open air while cruising and keep a clear overview. Her appearance is enhanced by the rope fendering (kabelaring), which not only adds character but is also practical when docking and mooring. In addition, she is equipped with a “leguaan”, a detail that gives her that extra distinctive look and completes her presentation for anyone looking for a neat, inviting sloop.
What is this Sloop 500 suitable for?
This sloop has been used for day trips, leisure cruising and weekend getaways—exactly what her size and layout are made for. She is compact enough to manoeuvre easily in narrow canals and between bridges, while her 2-metre beam provides comfortable seating space for family or friends. Anyone searching for “5-metre sloop”, “buy polyester sloop” or “sloop for inland waters” will quickly end up with this type of boat: practical, easy to handle and focused on relaxed boating without complicated systems.
Which engine is fitted and how does she start?
On the transom is a Yamaha 6 hp outboard engine, a four-stroke petrol model. The engine is operational and is started by hand. This keeps the propulsion nicely simple and suits the character of a classic sloop: step aboard, start and go. With 6 hp she is intended for calm cruising and comfortable transport—ideal for lakes and rivers where you mainly want to enjoy the scenery and the company on board.
What is her condition and what is known about maintenance?
According to the information provided, the boat is in good condition. She was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026, which many buyers will find a useful reference point when planning the coming boating season. No information has been provided about antifouling treatment. No indications of osmosis or traces of osmosis have been reported, which is often an important point of attention for those specifically looking for a “polyester sloop without osmosis”.
What is and isn’t included in the auction?
No trailer is supplied with this lot and no tender/dinghy is included. That is useful to factor into your plans in advance: if you already have a berth, it’s often not an issue, but if you want to transport her you will need to arrange suitable transport yourself. The boat is not registered. Otherwise, she is kept pleasantly straightforward: a sloop with an outboard engine, rope fendering and a recognisable appearance, ready for a new owner to continue enjoying relaxed cruises.
Anyone looking for a “sloop with Yamaha outboard”, a “5-metre round-bilge sloop”, or simply a nice boat for canals, lakes and inland waters will find this Sloop 500 an attractive candidate. She invites you to get back on the water, cruise at an easy pace, moor up at a waterside terrace and end the day with that typical sloop feeling: freedom, simplicity and fun.
