Originally built as a maritime training ship at the Willemsoord naval shipyard, this sloop was designed for both rowing and sailing. Over the years, the ship has been adapted for recreational use, with the original masts and rigging still present, but not used in recent years due to the condition of the masts. The sloop is currently used as a motorboat. Dimensions and construction With a length of 9.20 meters and a width of 2.60 meters, this sloop offers a spacious deck area. The draft is 70 cm, making the ship suitable for various inland waters, such as canals, lakes, ponds, and rivers. The air draft of 1.10 meters allows for passing under low bridges. The hull is entirely wooden, contributing to the ship's classic appearance. The headroom inside is 1.60 meters, making the interior cozy and intimate. Interior and accommodation The cabin is simply furnished and provides sleeping space for four people, with an additional berth possible. The sleeping area in the forepeak is particularly suitable for children. The interior features a manual toilet and a small galley with a two-burner gas stove.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 20 liters. For the electrical system, the ship has a dynamo, shore power connection, and two batteries. The onboard voltage is 12V. Navigation is possible with a compass. The engine is operational and has been used for propulsion since the masts were decommissioned. Equipment and safety On deck, there is a cockpit tent providing shelter in inclement weather. For anchoring, there is an anchor with chain and line. The sloop is equipped with an electric bilge pump and a lifebuoy for safety. Maintenance and condition The boat was out of the water for maintenance in 2024 and received a new antifouling layer in the same year. The condition of the masts is such that they have not been used in recent years, but they are included. History and use The Willemsoord B2 sloop has a rich history as a naval training ship. Originally designed for 12 rowers or sailing with two masts, the ship was later fitted with a cabin structure. The exact history of the structure and the number of previous owners is unknown.
