Description

Are you in search of a characterful sailboat with a retro look and a rich history? Then this Splinter 21 from 1969 might be an interesting option for you. This sailboat, named Blue Dragon, is built with a composite hull and features an S-shaped hull form, contributing to stability and sailing comfort. The boat is registered under the Belgian flag with a flag certificate and has Lloyd's Register of Shipping documentation, enhancing transparency regarding its origin and registration. Dimensions and Construction The Splinter 21 has a hull length of 5.20 meters and a width of 2.08 meters. The maximum draft is 1.15 meters, making it suitable for both inland waters and coastal areas with limited depth. The air draft is 6.00 meters, allowing passage under most bridges. The hull is made of composite material, known for its strength and relatively low maintenance requirements. Interior and Accommodation Inside, the Splinter 21 accommodates three fixed berths, suitable for short trips or overnight stays with a small group. The boat is equipped with a manual toilet with a non-direct discharge into open water. There is a simple cooking stove onboard for preparing meals. Heating is not available, in line with the type and size of the vessel. Rigging and Steering The Splinter 21 is rigged with a sloop rig and one mast. Steering is done via a joystick located outside, allowing for direct visibility of the sails and surroundings while sailing. The boat comes fully equipped with sails and accessories, including buoys, lines, flagpole, and a life jacket. Trailer and Transport The sale includes a road trailer without a license plate. The trailer is functional but lacks a license plate. It enables transporting the boat over the road to storage or another sailing location. Maintenance and Technical Considerations The boat was last taken out of the water in 2017, with no recent antifouling treatment. An important point of attention is the centerboard, which requires repair for optimal sailing performance. The railing has been recently replaced with stainless steel (Inox), enhancing deck safety. History and Usage The current owner acquired the boat from his father in 2012. Since then, the boat has been minimally used. According to the owner, it was actively used for only one season for leisure sailing. The boat has largely remained in its original state, making it an appealing choice for classic sailboat enthusiasts or those looking for a restoration project with character. Conclusion The Splinter 21 Blue Dragon is a sailboat with a classic look and functional equipment for recreational use. With its compact size, trailer, and documentation, this vessel is suitable for sailors seeking a characterful boat with potential. It offers room for further personalization or restoration, depending on the preferences of the new owner.
