Boat Description
This dragon was built in 1938 for an owner from Haarlem. She was built at the famous de Vries Lentsch shipyard in Amsterdam.

Restoration History
Sometime after the year 2000, the boat was found in a meadow in Belgium by a Belgian hotelier. This gentleman had the ship restored (read newly built) at the yard of van Damme in Zeebrugge. This shipyard also restored the dragon of the Belgian king, to indicate the level of work.
No expense was spared in the restoration; the ship was built almost entirely from scratch. This restoration is well documented with photographs.

Condition and Repairs
The hull needs to be splined; due to drying out, the hull is cracked lengthwise in several places. This is easily repairable, and the hull will probably need to be painted afterwards (i.e., no longer in clear coat). You can do this repair yourself, or we can also do it for you.

Visual Documentation
Part of the pictures shows the ship immediately after the restoration, while part shows the ship as it is now. Call the broker and owner J.D. Smits for further information.

VAT Information
For vessels from 1985 and younger, the seller must be able to prove that VAT has been paid. Vessels from 1984 and older are exempt from VAT.

Engine Details
This dragon was equipped with a built-in Diesel engine when it was restored in 2005. The owner of the boat sailed from Zeebrugge and wanted a reliable drive when entering and leaving the port. The engine has very few running hours and is in great condition. The Dragon is also for sale without the engine.
We can also provide the buyer with the installation of an electric motor developed in-house. This can be seen functioning in another dragon.
