Everyone can bid until March 9, 2026. Compact size with practical sailing characteristics The dimensions of this Vlet 380 make it ideal as a canal boat or small sloep for day trips. The shallow draft of approximately 0.20 meters aids in navigating shallow ditches and along banks, providing extra freedom in choosing routes in water-rich areas. Due to its compact size, the boat feels immediate and agile, which is especially pleasant in busy canals or when passing other boats. This type of boat may also be accessible to novice sailors, as it remains manageable and responds quickly to steering movements. Steel hull and knuckle-span: classic and robust in appearance A steel boat appeals to many enthusiasts due to its solid appearance and traditional character. Steel gives a vlet a recognizable "workboat look" that fits well with canals, historic city centers, and rural waterways. The knuckle-span hull contributes to a stable feeling at low speeds, aligning with the intended use: leisurely cruising, enjoying the surroundings, and comfortably mooring for a break. According to the information provided, this Vlet is in reasonable condition, which may offer room for a buyer who enjoys addressing cosmetic or technical points and further customizing the boat to their taste. Tiller steering: direct connection to sailing The steering is done with a tiller and is located outside. This provides a classic sailing experience where you are directly "in touch" with the water and the boat. Tiller steering is also straightforward and suits a compact vlet well. For canals and narrow waters, this is a practical choice as it allows for quick corrections and precise steering at low speeds. Propulsion: Marinier outboard motor (8 hp) – operation unknown The boat is equipped with a Marinier outboard motor with a stated power of 8 hp and gasoline as fuel. An outboard motor in this power range is often chosen for small sloops and canal boats as it can provide sufficient thrust for leisurely cruising and maneuvering at moorings. The operation of the motor is currently unknown. Therefore, potential buyers should consider an inspection, service, or possible replacement, depending on the outcome of a post-purchase inspection. This also offers the opportunity to tailor the propulsion to the desired use, such as focusing on quiet sailing, fuel efficiency, or ease of maintenance. Use and possibilities: day trips, city cruising, and recreation This Vlet 380 has been used on canals and ditches, as well as on lakes, ponds, and rivers. This underscores the versatile nature of a compact steel vlet: from a tour around the city to a relaxing afternoon on open water in calm weather. Due to its size, the boat is especially suitable for day trips and pleasure cruising, focusing on comfort at low speeds, easy mooring, and enjoying the surroundings. Those looking for a small sloep, canal boat, or steel vlet as an entry-level model, or as a project boat to gradually improve, will find this type to be an attractive starting point. An accessible steel vlet with a classic character In summary, this Vlet 380 offers a compact, traditionally styled steel canal boat with a knuckle-span hull, tiller steering, and an outboard motor setup. It is a boat that appeals to enthusiasts of simple sailing, short trips, and the typical vlet feeling on inland waters. Due to the stated condition and the unknown motor operation, this is an interesting option for buyers who prefer to make their own choices in finishing and technology, creating a practical sloep or canal boat that aligns with their sailing plans.
