Sailboat or cabin sloop now from the broker himself!! Every once in a while, a gem of a boat comes up for sale, and this is that moment. A classic, original De Vries Lentsch cabin sailboat, built in 1967 - it was one of the last designs from this famous N.V. Amsterdam Shipyard (the same yard that built the royal yacht, the Lemsteraak De Groene Draeck). The long keel is almost 60 years old but visibly very well maintained (woodwork, mast, varnish, sails, fittings). She is entirely made of teak, including an original teak deck in extremely good condition, and is eight meters long. All original details (original bronze fittings) have been preserved, kept in good condition, or replaced in their original form. From the galvanized anchor, with galvanized anchor chain (and anchor locker), to the portholes and the bronze air vents (new). The original mast was completely renovated in 2025, with all fittings removed to fully refurbish the mast. The stays are new (the stay tensioners are bronze, as are the pins); the boat also has a beautiful skylight with a round window for daylight. There is a rubbing strake all around, also with a bronze trim strip. The cabin has some safety handrails. There is also a large storage box available in the cockpit, with plenty of storage space.

With the sailboat, you will receive three sails, tailored to the rigging, and there is a nice fast jib roller with a convenient roller furling system. The wide side decks and beautiful lifelines with a large cockpit make the sailboat very suitable for comfortable sailing with four or more people. The attached rudder provides a pleasant steering experience, the boat is easy to handle, even for novice sailors. Please note, the sailboat could also be used as a sloop; the air draft is 195m. Moreover, it is an exceptionally stable ship thanks to its weight (4500 kilos). The powerful engine, Sole, three-cylinder, 29 HP Diesel, sails smoothly and creates little wake - for example, it sails at 19 km per hour without the mast.

This De Vries Lentsch is not only a showpiece but also a practical sailing vessel, equipped with all comforts, to enjoy pleasant trips and stay on the boat for extended periods. There are four sleeping berths available, both in the cabin and in the forepeak and aft, but what makes this 1967 classic so unique are the modern facilities. There is a new electric toilet on board; a new television; the electrical system was completely replaced in 2022 (including four AGM batteries (2024), a Victron charger, and inverter. While underway, without shore power, you can easily make coffee, cook (two-burner ceramic hob), or watch TV; all cushions have been completely renewed, in elegant cream-white (sky) leather, made by a professional ship interior upholsterer (Astrid van den Berg, Vinkeveen), including the curtains; there is a Silvercrest microwave, hob (where you can see the wattage being used), and a Nespresso coffee machine on board (included).

The current owner has lovingly cared for the boat for over 9 years, lavishing it with attention year after year; she is fully varnished every year with Epifanes Rapid Clear and high-gloss varnish, new antifouling every two years, and every winter season she is stored indoors (October-March) to maintain her excellent condition.
