Beautiful classic De Ruiter Cruiser 12.50 Open Cockpit offered by an owner who has put a lot of love and care into the ship. This De Ruiter Cruiser was built in 1979 in Hoogeveen by the renowned yard De Ruiter. The ship is equipped with a powerful 6-cylinder Ford diesel engine of 110 hp. In 2006, this engine was professionally overhauled and has since been maintained annually by an experienced ship mechanic. Thanks to the level connection between the salon and the open cockpit, the ship has a headroom of approximately 2.45 meters, allowing for a very large sailing area to be accessible. In recent years, significant investments have been made in the ship. For example, in 2018 a new boiler was installed, in 2019 the hull was completely painted with a durable 2-component paint system, and in 2020 the superstructure was also fully provided with a 2-component paint system. Additionally, that year the exterior woodwork and the woodwork in the cockpit were repainted. In 2020, a new cockpit tent with a stainless steel frame was installed, also equipped with screens and a sunshade. In 2021, the interior was fitted with new carpeting, and in 2022 a new winter tent was purchased that can be placed over the entire boat with its own frame. The gas installation is inspected every three years in accordance with regulations. Much attention has also been paid to the underwater ship and the deck. In 2006, the hull, including the cockpit, was completely sandblasted and then provided with a professionally applied 2-component paint system. The teak deck on the upper deck was completely re-rubbered in 2024, with the old sealant joints being routed out, re-sealed, and the entire deck sanded. The teak parts are approximately 18 mm thick, and where necessary, worn planks have been replaced. The teak deck has always been carefully maintained and regularly cleaned with soda and green soap. In addition, in 2020 all sealant connections between the teak of the gangways and the steel deck were completely renewed.
