One Off Lubbe-Voss Ketch now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until July 6, 2026. One Off Lubbe Voss Ketch 1968 If you are looking for a classic steel sailing yacht with character, this One Off Lubbe Voss Ketch from 1968 is a striking presence. Built at Schiffs und Bootswerft Lübbe Voß to the design of Lubbe Voss, her elegant lines and S-frame hull are evident. With a length of 18.50 meters, a beam of 4.51 meters, and a draft of 2.35 meters, this boat is made for serious voyages, boasting the timeless design that you won’t find at every dock. This sailing boat auction lot is for enthusiasts seeking a unique vessel and who enjoy customizing her to their own specifications. The Lubbe Voss Ketch offers a comfortable base for longer stays on board. She features five fixed berths along with three additional sleeping spaces, making her suitable for families, friends, or guests. The amenities include a shower, dining area, cooking stove, refrigerator and freezer, mattresses, and hot water. Steering is done via an outside helm wheel, which perfectly complements her ketch rig and life in the cockpit. Outside you will find a bimini top, cockpit table, cockpit tent, outdoor cushions, davits, tarpaulins, teak deck, lifelines, and a swim ladder. For anchoring purposes, there are two anchors with chain and line as well as an electric windlass. What makes her special as a sailing yacht? She is a one-off vessel built to order, giving her an identity rarely seen in mass-produced boats. The combination of a steel hull, classic ketch rigging, and the heritage from Lübbe Voß makes her appealing to those searching under terms like classic sailing yacht, steel sailboat, ketch sailing yacht or bluewater sailing yacht with character. Her size and layout also make her attractive as a liveaboard sailboat or as a comfortable cruising yacht for longer journeys—provided the buyer gives her the attention that a vessel of this caliber deserves. How is the engine and technology? The boat is equipped with a Mitsubishi SDS inboard diesel engine rated at 123 hp with electric start, six cylinders and built in 2006. According to reports, the engine is operational and was started and launched in May 2026. This means she can theoretically set sail right away; however, preventive inspection and maintenance are advisable before making larger plans. Maneuvering is supported by an electric bow thruster. On board there is also a Fisher Panda generator present and the electrical system includes shore power connection, battery charger, alternator, inverter and voltmeter. This provides 12V, 24V and 220V on board—convenient for living aboard and using equipment. What points should be noted about this project boat? She is reported to be in reasonable condition and has been preserved outside over recent years—not always under winter cover. As a result of leaves and clogged drainage systems there have been leaks around the deck area. This is important information for anyone looking for a project sailboat or steel sailing yacht with potential: expect to investigate deck drainage systems, seals and areas where water has found its way in. At the same time this type of lot can be particularly attractive to buyers who enjoy making their own choices in finishing touches and who see value in a unique hull with strong foundations. Are the sails and rigging complete? She is ketch-rigged with two aluminum masts. All sails are present but they are approximately fifteen years old; their condition is unknown. For prospective buyers this means that during viewings extra attention should be paid to the fabric, seams, fittings as well as running and standing rigging. Those searching for ketch sailboats or classic sailing yacht auctions know that rigging and sails form an important part of the overall picture—and that an inspection here can provide significant clarity. What documentation is available and what can you expect on viewing day? Various documentation is available on viewing day which is useful for those who like insight into history, completed work and technical choices made. Take your time during the viewing to calmly examine her spaces, deck details and installations so you can get a clear picture of what immediate needs must be addressed versus what can wait. This One Off Lubbe Voss Ketch is a warm and inviting offer for buyers dreaming of a classic steel sailing yacht with its own character. She combines space, presence and a powerful diesel engine with the reality of being a project that requires attention. For those who see this as an opportunity she could become an extraordinary vessel for sailing adventures, living aboard or planning long voyages—all purchased through Boatauction.
