Norwegian Spitsgatter 720 – warm wooden sloop
Anyone who falls for classic lines and the calm character of wood will quickly feel at home aboard this Norwegian Spitsgatter 720. She is a charming wooden sloop with a round-bilged hull, built for relaxed trips on inland waters, canals, lakes and ponds. The boat has been used for leisure cruising and day trips, which is reflected in her practical layout and sheltered cockpit. Through BoatAuction she is now offered, including the storage trailer and the loose equipment on board, such as fenders and mooring lines.
The Norwegian Spitsgatter is known as a type that moves pleasantly through the water. With a length of approx. 7.20 metres and a beam of 2.10 metres, she offers a fine balance between space and easy handling. The draft of about 0.50 metres makes her suitable for shallower routes and sheltered waterways, while the air draft of approx. 0.95 metres helps when planning routes with low bridges. Inside there is a headroom of about 1.20 metres, making her especially suitable as a comfortable day boat where you can sit sheltered and store gear dry.
Norwegian Spitsgatter 720 now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 24 August 2026.
What makes this Norwegian Spitsgatter such a pleasant boat to cruise?
This Norwegian Spitsgatter 720 cruises lightly and calmly thanks to her round-bilged hull and classic sloop character. She steers smoothly and responds predictably, which inspires confidence when cruising at ease and when docking. Steering is via a tiller in the cockpit, giving you direct contact with the boat and enabling a tight turning circle. This also makes her interesting for those who like to cruise narrow canals or winding ditches, or who regularly manoeuvre in a busy marina.
How is she equipped for comfort on board?
Comfort on this wooden sloop is mainly about shelter and ease of use. The boat has a sprayhood and deck covers, and notably a cockpit tent that was custom-made about two years ago. It fits snugly over the cockpit and can be removed in sections, allowing flexible cruising in changeable weather. With some wind or light chop you can still sit comfortably, while on sunny days you can open her up again. A cockpit table is also present, making her suitable for long afternoons on the water with family or friends. According to the owner, there is space to cruise comfortably with five to six people, making her an attractive option for anyone looking for a spacious sloop.
Which engine is installed and what can you expect?
The boat is fitted with a 15 hp inboard diesel engine with two cylinders and electric start. It is operational and has a simple dashboard with the necessary gauges, including oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge and tachometer. The electrical system is 12V on board with two batteries with a total capacity of approx. 90 Ah. In addition, there are provisions such as an alternator, battery charger, voltmeter and shore power, which is practical when she is alongside or in storage. An electric bilge pump is also present. One detail mentioned is that there is currently coolant in the system to help prevent freezing, which fits a boat that has also received attention during colder periods.
What is her condition and which points of attention are known?
According to the owner, this Norwegian Spitsgatter is in reasonable condition. The known point of attention is mediocre varnishwork on the deck—something that comes with the rhythm of owning and using a wooden boat. For wood enthusiasts this is often an invitation: with attention to varnish and finishing you can gradually tailor her appearance to your own taste. The boat was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024, and antifouling was applied in the same year. This provides a reference point for anyone specifically looking for a wooden sloop with a diesel inboard where the underwater hull has not been left unattended for years.
Is a trailer included and what does that mean in practice?
The auction includes a simple storage trailer on which the boat has been kept during winter. This trailer is unbraked, single-axle and fitted with side supports, a jockey wheel and a 50 mm tow ball coupling. With dimensions of approx. 500 by 170 cm and a payload of about 800 kg, it is mainly intended for storage and moving around on private property or short manoeuvres, not as a transport solution. For many buyers, however, it is a big plus that the boat can come straight out of the water and be stored neatly over winter.
This wooden Norwegian Spitsgatter 720 is therefore an inviting choice for anyone looking for a classic sloop, a round-bilged wooden boat with character, and the convenience of an inboard diesel. She also carries a lovely story: once bought to take the grandchildren out on the water and pass on a love of boating. Now, through BoatAuction, the boat gets the chance to find a new owner who will put her back to good use.
