Van Rijnsoever Vollenhovense Bol "Bolle Babbe" – A Timeless Classic with Character
For enthusiasts of traditional Dutch sailing yachts, we proudly present this beautiful Van Rijnsoever Vollenhovense Bol "Bolle Babbe". This remarkable vessel was built in 2003 and is one of the last Vollenhovense Bollen delivered by the renowned yard Van Rijnsoever. With her classic lines, warm appearance, and high-quality finish, she represents a unique combination of authentic craftsmanship and modern sailing comfort.
Measuring 8.50 meters in length, 3.10 meters in width, and with a shallow draft of just 0.75 meters, this Vollenhovense Bol is exceptionally suited for exploring the inland waters of the Netherlands and Belgium, the Wadden Sea, the Zeeland waters, and other shallow cruising areas. Thanks to her bilge keels and flat bottom, the vessel offers excellent drying-out capabilities while maintaining the characteristic sailing qualities that make this type of boat so beloved.
On deck, the classic appearance stands out immediately. The combination of the black-painted hull, red superstructure, and warm wooden accents creates a particularly beautiful and traditional whole. The wooden mast with gaff rigging and dark sails enhances the authentic character of the ship. Additionally, the sail wardrobe was renewed in 2023 with a new mainsail, storm jib, staysail, and genoa, allowing the new owner to enjoy sailing without any worries right away.
Below deck, the "Bolle Babbe" exudes atmosphere and craftsmanship. The interior is finished in warm mahogany wood and provides a classic, cozy ambiance that perfectly matches the character of the ship. The salon features comfortable seating benches and a practical table, while the fore cabin offers sleeping accommodation for two people. Furthermore, the vessel includes a galley with a two-burner gas stove, a manual toilet, hot water, and Webasto hot air heating. The generous headroom of approximately 1.85 meters contributes to onboard comfort.
Propulsion is provided by a powerful and economical Volvo Penta MD2030 diesel engine with 27 hp. This engine is known for its reliability and provides ample power for maneuvers in harbors as well as comfortable motoring. The starting battery was renewed in 2025. Additionally, the vessel is equipped with shore power connection, battery charger, VHF radio, Raymarine log, and depth sounder.
The "Bolle Babbe" is in well-maintained condition and offers an excellent foundation for lovers of traditional sailing. As with many classic boats, there are some areas that future owners can optimize to their liking; however, she presents herself as an exceptionally charming and complete Vollenhovense Bol with an attractive appearance.
Are you looking for a characterful Dutch round-bilge flat-bottomed yacht with a warm look, good sailing qualities, and a rich maritime presence? Then this Van Rijnsoever Vollenhovense Bol "Bolle Babbe" absolutely deserves your attention.
