Kajuitsloep 740 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. Unique cabin sloop Draeck for boating pleasure If you are looking for a characterful cabin sloop with its own story, the Draeck is a striking presence. This Kajuitsloep 740 originally started as a fiberglass rescue sloop and was later converted into a cozy two-person cabin boat with a wooden superstructure. It is this combination that makes her a true one-off: there is no other like her. With a length of 7.40 meters, a width of 3.00 meters, and a draft of approximately 0.70 meters, the boat feels at home on inland waters, lakes, rivers, as well as canals and ditches. She is currently moored at Lauwersmeer and will be auctioned via Boatauction including complete inventory, so you can use her right away for day trips, weekend getaways, or a relaxing holiday on the water. What makes the Draeck so special? The Draeck attracts attention due to her origin and appearance. The round bilge hull gives her a classic line, while the wooden structure adds warmth and atmosphere. Inside, you steer her from the helm with a steering wheel, featuring a comfortable standing height of about 200 centimeters. This makes staying on board comfortable, even if you linger longer. The cabin is cozy and practically furnished with a dinette and kitchenette, and there are two fixed sleeping places in the bow. This cabin sloop is therefore ideal for those looking for a compact cabin boat to sail and overnight with two people without it being too large or complicated. Can you comfortably overnight on board? Yes, she is designed for relaxed overnight stays with two people. The sleeping places in the bow are supplemented with extra mattresses for a pleasant night's sleep, and there are new blackout curtains that ensure privacy and tranquility. The dinette creates coziness inside during less favorable weather conditions, and with the included cushions, mattresses, sleeping bags, and bed linen, the boat quickly feels like a small floating home. Also practical: there is a water tank of approximately 50 liters and a sink with running water. The toilet is manual and the waste does not go directly to open water; during renovations an earlier through-hull fitting was removed. How is she equipped for off-grid sailing? The boat is set up to be comfortable even without shore facilities. She has shore power, a battery charger, and an inverter, along with solar panels on the roof that support the house battery. There are three batteries in total with a combined capacity of approximately 400Ah divided among starting, house usage, and bow thruster. Cooking is done without gas on a two-burner induction cooktop and the refrigerator is a 220-volt model. This cabin sloop fits well for buyers searching for terms like off-grid boat, gas-free sailing, cabin sloop with solar panels or cabin boat with inverter. How does she perform and what can you expect from the engine? The heart of the boat is a Bukh DV20 diesel inboard engine with 20 hp, electrically started and equipped with features including a tachometer and temperature gauge. The engine is operational and recent work has been carried out on vital components including cylinders, valves, injectors, gaskets, thermostat, and alternator. Photos of completed work are available along with manuals. With a cruising speed around 7 kilometers per hour and a top speed around 11 kilometers per hour she is suitable for relaxed cruising. Maneuvering is also made easier by the electric bow thruster which is especially handy in harbors and narrow passages. What has been done to her in recent years? She has received visible attention over the years. The fiberglass hull has been painted and there are no indications of osmosis reported. The underwater section has been stripped down and rebuilt with multiple layers of epoxy primer before being finished with B Free antifouling paint. Work has also been done on the superstructure: the exterior has been painted, woodwork varnished, and new guardrails installed. The window seals have been renewed and the windows are fitted with heat-reflective film on the inside. Inside, the ceiling has been renewed and walls painted which contributes to a fresh light impression. Does she have any points to consider? Yes, the Draeck needs some love again especially in cosmetic aspects. Think of paintwork that needs attention here and there both outside as well as on parts of the interior. This makes her particularly interesting for someone who enjoys sailing but also finds it fun to gradually enhance her further. She was pulled out of the water in 2024 where antifouling was also done that year which provides a solid basis for the sailing season. Anyone looking for an exceptional cabin sloop measuring 7.40 meters equipped with bow thruster, diesel engine, standing height in the helm area plus complete inventory will find an inviting companion in Draeck. She combines atmosphere, practical amenities, and unique character ready to create new memories with her next owner.
