Cabin sailboat Midget now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until March 9, 2026. Cabin sailboat Midget: compact polyester boat with cabin and Yamaha 8 hp outboard motor. This Midget cabin sailboat of 6.00 meters is a compact, practical boat for those looking for an affordable project or a base to rebuild according to their own preferences. With its polyester hull, a width of 2.40 meters, and a draft of approximately 0.75 meters, this type of boat was originally designed for versatile use on inland waters. Think of lakes, ponds, and rivers, but also canals and ditches where limited draft and manageable dimensions make navigation easier. The boat is offered as a former cabin sailboat, missing mast and rigging. Therefore, the focus is now on use as a small motorboat or towards a sail project. Cabin sailboat Midget now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until March 9, 2026. Dimensions, hull, and sailing characteristics on inland waters. With a length of 6 meters, this cabin boat offers a pleasant balance between space and manageability. The width of 2.40 meters provides relatively high stability for this size, which can be especially nice on ponds and lakes when there is some wave action. The draft of about 75 cm allows navigation in shallower areas and reaching moorings where deeper-draft boats may struggle. The polyester material is popular in practice due to its low maintenance level and the ability to carry out repairs and modifications effectively, which can be an important advantage for buyers who enjoy DIY projects. As it is a former sailboat, the hull shape is typically focused on course stability and efficient water flow. In motor operation, this often translates to a calm, predictable ride at lower speeds, suitable for relaxed cruises and day trips on the water. Motorization: Yamaha 8 hp outboard motor (operation unknown). The boat is equipped with a Yamaha outboard motor with a stated power of 8 hp and gasoline as fuel. This power suits the character of a compact cabin boat: suitable for maneuvering smoothly in harbors and narrow waters and for leisurely cruising on inland waters. The operation of the motor is unknown, meaning a buyer should consider inspection, service, or possible overhaul. However, for many water sports enthusiasts, this is a manageable process: an outboard motor is relatively accessible in terms of maintenance and replacement, and Yamaha parts and service are generally readily available. Cabin and usage possibilities: day trips, cruising, and project boat. A cabin sailboat in this size class is often chosen for the extra shelter and practical nature it provides. Even when the boat is not (anymore) used as a sailboat, a cabin remains a plus for day trips: sitting out of the wind, storing items dry, and being able to take shelter from a rain shower along the way. This makes this type of boat interesting for pleasure boating on lakes and rivers, or for relaxed cruises through urban canals. With the absence of mast and rigging, there are roughly two logical directions. The first is using it as a compact motorboat with a cabin, focusing on leisurely cruising, docking, and enjoying the water. The second is restoring it to a sail configuration, where a buyer selects a mast, rigging, and sails that suit the intended use. For the handy DIY enthusiast, this could be an opportunity to rebuild a Midget cabin sailboat according to their own vision. Condition and points of attention during viewing. The boat is offered in poor condition. This makes a viewing with a critical eye important, especially for a polyester cabin boat. Consider checking the hull for damages, previous repairs, moisture issues, and the condition of the deck and superstructure. It is also wise to have the motor tested or at least assess its completeness and general condition, given the unknown operation. Furthermore, there is no documentation available, meaning the actual equipment and technical condition should be assessed on-site. Who is this Midget suitable for? This Midget 6.00 is particularly interesting for buyers looking for a compact cabin boat with potential: as a starting project, as a base for a simple motorboat for inland waters, or as a starting point for a rebuild into a sailboat. Thanks to its dimensions, shallow draft, and the included Yamaha 8 hp outboard motor, this vessel offers an accessible route to navigating canals, ditches, lakes, and rivers, with the freedom to gradually improve the boat according to personal preferences. Lot: 119 Zaanstad auction Boatauction.com auctions boats on behalf of the Municipality of Zaanstad that have not been collected from the storage harbor.
