About
Enkhuizen 500 Overview
The Enkhuizen 500 has been built by Enkhuizensloep for almost 25 years, with hundreds of units delivered. This model serves as a lifeboat for large sailing ships, tenders for inland vessels, and a comfortable sloop for recreational boating. It retains the DNA of the original English lifeboat, a wooden vessel that functioned as a lifeboat for an English coaster in the late 19th century, adapted to modern standards by Enkhuizensloep's carpenters.
Design and Comfort
The Enkhuizen 500 features a spacious cockpit with comfortable round bench seat cushions made of high-quality, waterproof material, making it ideal for extended boating enjoyment. The interior is elegantly finished with teak details. The heavily insulated engine box, adorned with a teak panel and crank strips, doubles as a handy table. There is ample storage space under the foredeck and aft seats.
Performance
This sloop is designed for day trips in polders and lakes, thanks to its shallow draft and extremely small turning circle. The preserved DNA of the original lifeboat ensures that the 500 is steady on course and highly stable. Its small length and low weight make it easy to trailer.
Customization Options
The Enkhuizen 500 can be built entirely to your specifications and personal taste. You can select from various color schemes for the hull and interior. Numerous comfort-enhancing options are available, including a toilet facility and a sundeck. Each 500 can be equipped with either a tiller or a steering wheel.
Propulsion Choices
For propulsion, options include a selection of diesel engines, whisper-quiet electric motors, or a hybrid solution. The diesel engines have proven reliability in numerous sloops, tailored for sailing comfort and low noise levels.
