With a length of approximately 5.74 meters and a width of 1.80 meters, this Spanker offers a pleasant size: large enough for adult sailing fun, yet small enough to handle and trailer easily. The design is by Van de Stadt, a name that immediately evokes thoughts of thoughtful hull shapes and lively sailing characteristics. Spanker 712 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Classic wooden construction and V-bottom: appearance and sailing behavior The hull is made of wood and built by Van Wijk & Zonen. Wood gives this sailboat a warm, authentic look not often found in modern polyester boats. At the same time, the V-bottom contributes to a stable and lively character, especially on inland waters where gusts of wind and short waves can alternate. The draft is approximately 0.20 meters, making the boat suitable for shallower sailing areas and exploring sheltered spots. The clearance height of about 7.00 meters matches the sail profile of a compact cabin-less or lightly equipped sailor, focusing on active sailing and quick access to the water. Sail plan with four sails: from relaxed cruising to sporty trimming On board, you will find an aluminum mast and a sail wardrobe with four sails: jib, genoa, mainsail, and spinnaker. This makes the Spanker 712 versatile. With jib or genoa and mainsail, it is an accessible combination for cruises and day trips, while the spinnaker offers extra possibilities for those who seek speed and sailing pleasure with broad reach. The stated condition of the sails is good, which is convenient for buyers as they can focus on sailing and trimming rather than having to replace a complete set of sails. Tiller steering: direct contact with the water Steering is done with a tiller, outside in the cockpit. This is precisely what many enthusiasts of a sporty sailboat appreciate: direct feel on the rudder, quick response to wind shifts, and a pure sailing experience. The tiller is single-handed, fitting the design and simplicity of this type of boat. For those who enjoy active steering and trimming, this setup encourages real engagement with the vessel. Outboard motor: Yamaha, manual start (operation unknown) The Spanker 712 is equipped with a Yamaha gasoline outboard motor, with manual start and one cylinder. This is a practical solution for harbor maneuvers or when the wind drops on inland waters. The operation of the motor is currently unknown. Restoration and documentation: insight into approach and finishing According to the owner, the boat was completely restored after purchase from the first owner. The Spanker was stored dry for over twenty years and then brought back into condition. The restoration has been documented with photos, and the current owner can provide details on the maintenance and paint system used. This is valuable for potential buyers: not only do you get a classic wooden sailboat, but also insight into the choices made in materials and finishing. Trailer included: easy transport and storage This Spanker 712 comes with a road trailer from the brand Wijko. It is an unbraked trailer with one axle, equipped with a winch and a light bar. With a weight of approximately 250 kg, this is a practical combination for those who want to store the boat at home, visit different sailing areas, or efficiently bridge the winter season. Trailering makes this sailboat particularly attractive for water sports enthusiasts seeking flexibility and not wanting to depend on a fixed mooring. Sailing area and use: ideal for inland waters and recreational sailing This Spanker has been used on inland waters such as lakes, ponds, and rivers, precisely the environment where this type of daysailer shines. Think of relaxed cruises, sporty sailing with friends or family, and spontaneous weekend trips when the boat is on the trailer. For those looking for a classic Spanker 712, a wooden sailboat with a Van de Stadt signature and a complete set including a trailer, this combination offers both a wide range of appearance and usage possibilities.
