Spanker 712 - Classic wooden sailboat from 1972 with potential for restoration The Spanker 712 is a classic wooden sailboat, built in 1972 by the renowned Van Wijk shipyard in Woubrugge. This boat is a representative example of the Spanker class, a type of open sailboat that became popular in the Netherlands for its sporty sailing characteristics and characteristic V-bottom. With a length of 5.75 meters and a width of 1.68 meters, this boat is suitable for use on inland waters such as lakes, ponds, and rivers. Construction and design The hull of the Spanker 712 is made of wood, a material traditionally used in boat building for its natural appearance and sailing characteristics. The boat features a V-bottom, contributing to a stable position in the water and good performance in various wind conditions. Steering is done via a tiller, located at the back of the boat, typical for this type of sailboat. The rudder is single-bladed. The boat is equipped with an aluminum mast and has a sail plan consisting of a jib, mainsail, and spinnaker. In total, there are three sails present, described as being in fair condition. This offers opportunities for sailors looking for a classic sailing project with room for improvement or modification. Registration and documentation The Spanker 712 is registered with the Royal Dutch Watersports Association (KNWV) under registration number "712 SPANKER." Documentation is available, including a registration certificate from 1993 and a copy of the registration application dated April 16, 1993. Current condition and usage history The boat has not been in the water since 1999 and is currently in a state requiring restoration work. Known defects are present, and the boat is offered as a project for enthusiasts or individuals with the means and knowledge to carry out a restoration. The boat has been in the family's possession for a long time and was mainly used for recreational sailing. For most of its active life, the boat was moored in a harbor near Roermond, where it was used for recreational sailing during the sailing season. The boat's history is closely linked to the current owner's family. The Spanker was purchased around 1972 and has since served as a family boat. Trailer and transport The boat comes with a Wijko road trailer. This trailer is single-axle, unbraked, and equipped with a trailer winch. The trailer does not have a license plate and is described as being in fair condition. This allows for transport of the boat over short distances, although it is advisable to inspect the trailer for technical aspects such as tires, bearings, and winch mechanism before use. Suitable for restoration project The Spanker 712 offers opportunities for sailing enthusiasts looking for a classic wooden sailing project. With its traditional construction and characteristic lines, this boat is attractive to those who value authentic vessels. The boat is ideally suited for use on inland waters and, after restoration, can once again serve as a recreational sailboat.
