Specifications
kos meinstra zeeschouw from 1972
what kind of boat is this zeeschouw?
this kos meinstra zeeschouw is a steel sailing boat from 1972, measuring 9 metres in length, 3.20 metres in beam and with a draft of approximately 60 centimetres. her air draft is around 10 metres. inside, she offers headroom of approximately 1.90 metres, making the living space suitable for taller people as well.
in recent years, the boat has been used as a family boat for holidays, weekends and day trips. she mainly sailed on the ijsselmeer, the border lakes, inland waterways, lakes, ponds and rivers. the current owners purchased her in 2012. unfortunately, health problems now make sailing impossible for them. the boat is therefore being offered through boatauction to a new owner who can once again use her for relaxing cruises and stays on board.
kos meinstra zeeschouw now in the online auction. everyone can place bids until and including 16 november 2026.
what is the layout like on board?
this zeeschouw has four fixed berths. inside, there is a dining area, mattresses, a refrigerator and a cooking appliance. the water supply consists of a 100-litre water tank. the toilet is manually operated and connected to a 20-litre holding tank. the toilet waste is therefore not discharged directly into the open water.
the accommodation is practically arranged for a family or a smaller group. the available space is suitable for weekends and longer holidays, although you should take the boat’s layout and age into account. the kitchen inventory on board is also included in the sale. there is no heating, which can make use during colder periods less comfortable.
what type of propulsion does she have?
the boat is equipped with a waterworld electric inboard motor with an output of 11 kW, stated as 20 hp. the motor is operational and dates from 2022. it is powered by six batteries currently on board. the electrical system includes a battery charger, inverter, voltmeter and shore power connection. the battery charger and electric motor can be monitored via an app.
the stated cruising speed is approximately 7 kilometres per hour. the maximum speed is around 12 kilometres per hour. the electric propulsion provides less engine noise while sailing and no exhaust fumes from a diesel engine. you can move her quietly under power, but also sail under sail. this combination makes her suitable for enthusiasts who want to sail both under engine and under sail.
what is her sailing equipment like?
the kos meinstra zeeschouw has one wooden mast and several sails. on board are a genoa, mainsail, flying jib and storm jib. two mainsails are also available. the sails are in reasonable condition. a viewing is important if you wish to assess the condition of the fabric, seams, fittings and running rigging yourself.
steering is done from outside with a tiller. she has a single rudder. one anchor is available for anchoring; it is stored with a chain and can be operated using a manual windlass. a cover is included in the exterior equipment. a dinghy and trailer are not included.
what is the technical and cosmetic condition?
the overall condition of the boat is described as reasonable. she was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025 and received a new layer of antifouling in the same year. rust formation is visible in some areas. this point deserves attention when assessing a steel boat and should be examined carefully during the viewing day. also inspect the deck, hull plating, welds and the rest of the steel construction.
the information about known defects does not mention any additional points. nevertheless, it is advisable to inspect the boat carefully during the viewing day and assess the existing systems, batteries, sails, motor controls and interior components yourself. the photographs and this description provide an initial impression but cannot replace a physical inspection.
who might find this boat interesting?
this zeeschouw may be of interest to someone looking for a classic steel sailing boat with a modest draft and electric propulsion. her history shows that she has been used for family holidays, weekend trips and relaxing days on inland waters. the four fixed berths provide space for a family or two couples looking for compact accommodation.
anyone looking to buy a boat for relaxed cruising can include this zeeschouw in their comparison with other classic steel cabin sailing boats. she may also be a suitable starting point for someone looking to buy a second-hand boat and who values an electric motor. when considering boat-buying tips, it is wise not to look only at the asking price, but also at future painting work, maintenance of the steel, the condition of the sails and the state of the electrical system.
what can you assess during the viewing day?
during the viewing day, you can inspect her both inside and out. Pay attention to the rust formation, the condition of the antifouling, the wooden mast, the sails, the upholstery and the operation of the equipment on board. The batteries, inverter, battery charger, shore power connection and electric motor controls also deserve attention.
the viewing day is the appropriate opportunity to determine whether this kos meinstra zeeschouw matches your plans and expectations. there is only an opportunity to inspect the boat. a test sail or sailing the boat yourself is not part of the sales procedure. whoever purchases her will also receive the kitchen inventory, four life jackets, a lifebuoy, a fire blanket and two fire extinguishers.
