The Unter Elbe Motorsailer is now available in an online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. The Unter Elbe Motorsailer 9.00 (1973) - steel twin keel with Sole 44 hp engine and comfortable living space. This 1973 Unter Elbe Motorsailer, built and designed by Saaman, is a distinctive 9-meter steel motorsailer that feels at home in various sailing areas. Thanks to its twin keels and shallow draft of approximately 0.90 meters, this vessel is particularly suitable for inland waters, lakes, ponds, and rivers, as well as coastal waters and island crossings. The combination of engine power, sail configuration, and practical layout makes it an attractive choice for buyers seeking a stable and versatile vessel for weekend trips and holidays. The steel hull with twin keel design gives the Unter Elbe a solid, steady base and contributes to a smooth sailing experience. The twin keel concept not only provides stability under sail but also allows for dry docking, expanding possibilities in tidal areas and shallow anchorages. With a width of 3.00 meters and a displacement of around 6,000 kg, the vessel feels mature on the water, while its 9.00-meter length keeps maneuvering in ports and locks manageable. The approximate 11-meter air draft and relatively short mast also aid in navigating routes with bridges, making this type of motorsailer appealing for canal and urban waterway journeys. Onboard is a Sole 44 mini inboard diesel engine (built in 2009) with 44 hp, coupled with a TMC gearbox 60E 2:1. With approximately 360 operating hours, this engine is a significant asset for those who enjoy motor cruising or smartly combining motor and sail. The cruising speed is around 10 km/h with a maximum of approximately 12 km/h, suitable for comfortable cruising and efficient travel on inland and sheltered waters. The instrument panel includes a tachometer, oil pressure and temperature gauge, and a fuel tank gauge, allowing for easy monitoring of the engine's condition while underway. The diesel tank has a capacity of about 200 liters, providing a pleasant range for longer journeys in practice. Sailing and rigging: motorsailer with genuine sailing capabilities. This Unter Elbe is rigged as a ketch and features a mainsail and a genoa. The genoa is equipped with a furling system (Profurl), simplifying reefing and rolling, making sailing accessible for a small crew. The aluminum mast and clear sail plan suit the character of a motorsailer: relaxed sailing when possible, motoring when necessary. For buyers who enjoy alternating between sailing and motor cruising, this vessel offers a pleasant balance of control, stability, and ease of use. Comfort and interior: headroom, berths, and amenities. Inside, the vessel offers a headroom of approximately 1.85 meters, making onboard stays comfortable for extended weekends and holidays. There are four fixed berths and two additional berths possible, making the vessel suitable for a family or couples who enjoy hosting guests. The accommodation is equipped with a dining area and a galley with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and freezer, making life onboard practical during longer journeys. The water tank of approximately 200 liters supports independent cruising, while an electric toilet is present. Heating is provided by a stove, extending the season and making the vessel appealing in spring and autumn. Navigation, electrical, and deck equipment. In terms of navigation, there is GPS, depth sounder, compass, log/speedometer, and VHF radio, contributing to safe and planned navigation. The electrical system is set up for both 12V and 220V, with shore power, battery charger, alternator, inverter, and voltmeter. There are two batteries with a total capacity of around 200Ah, supplemented by a battery diode/isolator for starting and house use, and 12V and USB connections. On deck, the equipment is focused on comfortable stays and practical use. Think of a cockpit tent for shelter, guardrails, pulpit and pushpit seats, swim ladder, and a self-draining cockpit. For anchoring, there is an electrically operated Vetus Alexander 2 windlass with chain. Additional details such as windshield wipers on the front windows of the deckhouse, mast and deck lighting, and 12V connections at the bow and aft deck underscore the thoughtful nature of the vessel. Rotating davits with ratchets and a large wooden bowsprit also give the vessel a recognizable, classic look that complements a steel motorsailer. Maintenance and documentation. The boat was last out of the water for maintenance in 2024, and antifouling was applied in the same year. Additionally, documentation is available, including engine and yard documentation. The seller is the second owner, and the vessel has been used on both inland waters and at sea, including island trips as part of its sailing history. For those looking for a steel motorsailer with shallow draft, twin keels for dry docking, a modern diesel engine, and a comfortable layout for family use, this Unter Elbe 9.00 offers an interesting and versatile vessel for various sailing plans.
