Schokker 945 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. Classic Schokker 945 ready for the water For those who appreciate the lines of a traditional flat-bottomed boat, this Schokker 945 from 1974 is instantly recognizable: a steel classic with a flat bottom and a character not found in modern production boats. Designed by H C Vermolen, this vessel is built for enjoyment on inland waters, lakes, ponds, and rivers. With a length of 9.45 meters and a beam of 3.15 meters, it offers surprisingly ample space on board, while its draft of approximately 1.00 meter makes it suitable for much of the Dutch navigable waters. This is the kind of ship that invites a day of sailing fun but also provides the foundation for relaxing weekend trips with overnight stays. Inside, there is a comfortable headroom of about 1.90 meters, making it pleasant for longer moments spent on board. The accommodation is practically arranged with a dining area and mattresses, and it features four fixed berths. This Schokker is not only appealing to classic sailing enthusiasts but also to those seeking a steel cabin sailboat with sleeping accommodations and a warm, cozy atmosphere. What makes this Schokker 945 so attractive? Its combination of traditional sailing feel and practical dimensions stands out. The tiller steering outside provides direct contact with the vessel and complements the character of a flat-bottomed sailboat. Thanks to its air draft of approximately 1.40 meters, it is also suitable for routes with lower bridges, enhancing its usability on many inland waters. The self-draining cockpit contributes to comfort while sailing, especially when the weather turns. How is she equipped for comfortable living on board? On board, you will find amenities that make your stay enjoyable. She has a water tank of approximately 80 liters and a diesel fuel tank of about 120 liters. Heating is provided by a stove, making her appealing even in the spring and autumn seasons. A vacuum toilet is installed on board with direct discharge to open water as specified. For power supply, there is 12V onboard with two batteries, a dynamo, battery charger, and shore power connection. This makes it easier to be connected in a harbor or at the dock while using basic amenities. What can you expect from the engine and sailing characteristics? She is equipped with a Mercedes inboard diesel engine of 37 hp, a four-cylinder that suits the character of a steel vessel weighing around 5000 kg. The engine was overhauled in 2026 and is reported to be operational. Instruments such as an oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge help keep track of engine condition while underway. For maneuvering, there is no bow thruster—which is typical for this type of vessel—but her size and tiller steering make her feel pure and direct for many skippers. How about sailing and rigging? This Schokker 945 has one wooden mast and two sails. The condition of the sails is described as good, and she features a genoa reefing system. According to reports, the system rolls smoothly, making sail handling accessible when sailing with a smaller crew. For those looking for a classic sailboat with a flat bottom and traditional silhouette, she offers that recognizable Schokker feeling, with the ability to both cruise leisurely or actively sail on lakes and ponds. What points should buyers consider? There is one clearly stated point to take into account: a new wooden floor needs to be made. This also presents an opportunity to customize the interior according to personal taste—perhaps finishing it in keeping with the classic appearance of a steel Schokker. Furthermore, she was out of the water in 2026 when antifouling was applied; according to reports, four layers were applied at that time. Documentation is available in the form of construction drawings, which can be valuable for enthusiasts or DIYers when making modifications or getting to know the vessel better. Externally she comes equipped with fenders and lines. There are two anchors present with chain and a manual anchor winch. A dinghy and trailer are not included in this sale. Everything described above will accompany the sale so you have a complete picture of what you can expect from this auction boat. This Schokker 945 is an inviting choice for anyone looking for a classic flat-bottomed steel sailboat with an engine—offering both space and character. She awaits a new owner who wants to use her ready-to-sail while also looking forward to customizing her step by step according to their own wishes.
