Lemsteraak LE63 “Elisabeth” – Authentic craftsmanship with a second life

This riveted fisherman's lemsteraak was launched in 1904 at the renowned shipyard of Eeltje Holtrop in Joure, designed by A. van der Zee. A vessel built in a time when craftsmanship was a given. From fisherman to stylish rowing boat. In 1971, the Elisabeth was converted into a rowing boat, starting a new chapter as a comfortable sailing ship. Since 2009, she has been in the hands of the current owner, who lovingly and respectfully renovated her, restoring her to her original appearance wherever possible. Authentic lines, classic details, and the soul of a true fisherman have been carefully preserved. In 2014, the Elisabeth underwent an extensive refit: Mostly new hull (15 mm) Renewed decks Fully blasted and preserved with a durable 2-component system New, tastefully crafted interior with wood stove Character and convenience The LE63 is not only a distinctive sight but also surprisingly practical. Thanks to the electric mast lowering system, she is easy to operate and excellent for both open waters and inland waterways. Inside, you will find a warm and well-maintained interior that offers comfort without compromising the classic atmosphere. A vessel that invites long weekends, summer trips, and experiencing traditional sailing in its purest form. LE63 “Elisabeth” is a piece of Dutch maritime history, carefully preserved and ready for a new owner who wants to continue her story.
