Specifications
Menken Piet Hein ready for new cruises
Anyone looking for a comfortable sloop with character will find this 2007 Menken Piet Hein an appealing companion for relaxed days on the water. The boat was built by Menken yard and designed by De Jager, featuring a distinctive S-shaped hull that gives her a calm, stable position in the water. With a length of 6.24 metres and a beam of 2.23 metres she feels spacious, while still remaining easy to handle in marinas, canals and narrow passages. Thanks to her draught of around 60 centimetres and an air draft of approximately 90 centimetres, she is also suitable for many inland waterways, ditches and urban routes.
This polyester sloop has been used on lakes and rivers and, according to the owner, is also pleasant to operate on larger rivers. She is set up for leisure cruising, day trips and weekend getaways, with space for around eight passengers. That makes her interesting for families, groups of friends, or anyone who likes to bring guests along without it feeling cramped.
Menken Piet Hein now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 24 August 2026.
What makes her handling so enjoyable?
Her S-shaped hull and single rudder give the Menken Piet Hein a steady, predictable character. She feels stable, even when several people move around on board. Steering is via an outside steering wheel, giving you direct contact with your surroundings while underway and making it easy to manoeuvre in marinas or along quays. With a cruising speed of around 6 km/h she is made for relaxed trips, while a top speed of up to about 12 km/h allows you to make good progress when needed.
Which engine is installed and what can you expect?
She is equipped with a Soleil diesel inboard engine of 26 hp, year of build 2007, with electric start and two cylinders. The stated number of running hours is approximately 1,000. The diesel engine suits the character of this sloop well: calm, efficient and suitable for longer cruising days. On board there are instruments such as a tachometer, temperature gauge and fuel gauge, so you can keep an overview while cruising. The diesel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres, which is convenient for trips on inland waterways and rivers without having to refuel frequently.
How is she equipped for comfort on board?
This Piet Hein is fitted out to make time on board enjoyable. She has a refrigerator, ideal for drinks and lunch underway. For atmosphere there is a stereo system, and on sunny days the sunbed invites you to stretch out and relax. Outside you will find, among other things, a sprayhood, exterior cushions and a cockpit table, allowing you to use the cockpit easily as a seating and living area. The teak deck gives her a warm appearance and practical grip underfoot. In addition, fenders and lines are included, as well as a swim ladder for a refreshing dip and a rope fendering (cable-laid rubbing strake) that further accentuates her classic lines.
What is known about maintenance and recent work?
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026, and antifouling was applied in the same year. According to the information provided, there are no signs of osmosis. The owner states that she has always been stored indoors during winter and that documentation is available, including maintenance information and manuals. This is useful for a next owner who likes insight into what is on board and how everything works.
Is she safe and practical for a day on the water?
An electric bilge pump is on board and there is a fire extinguisher. There is also an anchor with line, handy for a break in a quiet spot or when you want to wait near a bridge or lock. For power supply there is a battery charger and one battery. With a weight of approximately 2,500 kg she also sits firmly in the water, which contributes to the comfortable feeling while cruising and mooring.
This Menken Piet Hein sloop is an inviting choice for anyone looking for a polyester motorboat for inland waterways, canals, lakes and rivers, with a diesel inboard, wheel steering and a complete exterior outfit. Via Boatauction she is waiting for a new owner who will give her many more beautiful weekends and relaxed cruising days—perhaps towards Dordrecht via the Maas, the Noord and the Merwede, just like in the current owner’s fondest memory.
