Kooijman and de Vries Grundel now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Kooijman and de Vries Grundel (1973) - steel flat-bottomed motor sailboat of 10.50 meters with bow thruster and rigging For those in search of a characterful Grundel flat-bottomed boat with the charm of classic Dutch craftsmanship, this 1973 Kooijman and de Vries Grundel offers an attractive and versatile vessel. With its steel hull, shallow draft, and practical layout, this type of motor sailboat is ideal for relaxed trips on inland waters, rivers, lakes, and ponds. The boat has been used for day trips, weekends away, and holidays, set against backdrops such as nature reserves like the Biesbosch, where peacefully anchoring and lingering can be a great pleasure. The dimensions make it appealing for those seeking ample onboard space without the vessel becoming unwieldy in harbors or narrow waterways. With a length of approximately 10.50 meters and a width of 3.00 meters, this Grundel offers stable and familiar handling. The shallow draft of about 50 cm is a significant advantage, allowing access to shallow creeks, reed beds, and sheltered anchorages, while the flat-bottomed design contributes to a calm water position. Kooijman and de Vries Grundel now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Sailing experience and performance: comfortable on inland waters and rivers Propulsion is provided by an inboard diesel engine with electric start. The cruising speed is around 12 km/h, with a maximum of approximately 18 km/h, making this Grundel suitable for both leisurely cruising and swift travel between waterways. Onboard, essential gauges are present, including a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, and tachometer, allowing you to maintain control while sailing. Maneuvering in the harbor is supported by an electric bow thruster (recently installed), a valuable addition for handling side winds or tight berths. The steering is done with a tiller from the outside position, fitting well with the open and direct nature of a flat-bottomed boat: you sail close to the water, with good visibility all around and a classic steering experience. Rigging and mast: motor sailboat with possibilities This Grundel comes with rigging and sails. The sail plan includes a mainsail, jib, and storm jib. The current owners have mainly sailed under motor power, but the sailing equipment is available for those looking to transition to sailing or who prefer the option of quieter and more fuel-efficient sailing in favorable winds. A practical detail is the installation of a shorter mast to pass under bridges more easily; the original wooden mast for sailing of approximately 8 meters is also included. This allows you to tailor the boat to your sailing area: low clearance heights or more sail area and a classic look. Interior and comfort: cozy "house on the water" Inside, the boat is set up for comfortable onboard stays. You will find a dining area, mattresses, a stove, and a refrigerator, making weekend trips and longer journeys feasible. The standing height inside is approximately 1.70 meters, suitable for this type of vessel. There are two fixed berths and two additional berths, providing flexibility for guests or (young) children. With a water tank of 300 liters and a diesel tank of 300 liters, onboard autonomy is convenient for those who enjoy sailing and anchoring for multiple days in a row. The toilet is manually operated and recently renewed. Buyers should be aware that the toilet discharge goes directly into open water; depending on your sailing area and personal preference, this may prompt considerations for modifications. Electrical installation and equipment: shore power and solar energy The electrical system is designed for practical use during trips and stays in the harbor. Onboard, there is shore power, a battery charger, alternator, voltmeter, and an inverter. Additionally, a solar panel has been installed (with a Victron MPPT controller as stated), aiding in recharging the batteries when at anchor or in a natural area. In total, there are three batteries with a combined capacity of around 180 Ah (12V), suitable for basic onboard consumption. Maintenance and areas of attention: woodwork The boat was last out of the water in 2023, with antifouling applied that year. Several improvements have been made recently, including work on the water tank (coating treatment), gearbox overhaul, hull painting, installation of an hour meter, and deck wash pump. The exterior woodwork requires attention; this provides a buyer with the opportunity to cosmetically enhance the boat to their taste and further strengthen its classic look. Who is this Grundel suitable for? This steel Grundel motor sailboat is a fitting choice for water sports enthusiasts who appreciate the traditional flat-bottomed boat feel, enjoy exploring shallow water areas, and value a cozy, practical living space. Whether you dream of peaceful weekends in nature, journeys on rivers and lakes, or seek a classic vessel with both motor and sailing capabilities, this Kooijman and de Vries Grundel offers a versatile platform with character and equipment that invites you to hit the water right away.
