Van de Stadt 37 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. Van de Stadt 37 classic with character If you're looking for a sporty sailing boat with a recognizable line and a story, the Van de Stadt 37 is an excellent choice. This IOR One Tonner from 1974, built by Visser Lewin, is not just a boat you sail, but one you experience. Designed by Van de Stadt, she features a round bilge hull and a lively sailing feel. With a length of 11.30 meters, a beam of 3.50 meters, and a draft of 2.10 meters, the Van de Stadt 37 is a serious vessel, suitable for both lakes and seas. At the same time, she remains manageable and easy to handle even with a smaller crew. This makes her appealing for those seeking a fast sailing boat for competitive sailing as well as for weekend getaways or leisurely cruising. The hull and deck are constructed from mahogany, while the cockpit and superstructure are made of fiberglass. This combination gives her a classic appearance with practical elements in the places where they are most needed. With a ballast keel weighing approximately 3200 kg and a total weight of around 7500 kg, the boat feels solid on course. Her air draft is approximately 17.00 meters, something to consider when navigating under fixed bridges or along standing mast routes. Van de Stadt 37 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. What makes this Van de Stadt 37 so attractive to sail? She is known as a fast ship that remains accessible. The owner reports that she has participated in many races with impressive results, and her sailing characteristics consistently impress. This aligns with the IOR One Tonner character: sharp to windward, lively at the helm, and designed to achieve speed when properly trimmed. Steering is done via tiller from the cockpit, which many sailors appreciate for its direct feel. Thanks to the sloop rigging and Furlex roller furling system for the headsail, you can adjust her sail plan while underway without complications. How is she equipped for trips and overnight stays? Below deck, she offers a headroom of approximately 1.90 meters, which is comfortable for taller individuals and suitable for extended stays aboard during weekends or vacations. There are four fixed sleeping places plus two additional sleeping places possible, allowing you to overnight with family or friends. Onboard you will find a cooking stove and mattresses, along with a manual toilet. The water tank has a capacity of about 90 liters, fitting for weekend trips and shorter vacations. Heating is not present. What engine does she have and what can you expect under power? She is equipped with a Vetus M4.15 inboard diesel engine from 2005 with 32 hp and four cylinders, electrically started. According to reports, the engine is operational and in 2024 a new heat exchanger was installed. The fuel tank has a capacity of approximately 50 liters and the cruising speed is reported to be around 12 km per hour. An interesting detail is the hydraulic drive via a water-lubricated propeller shaft with a Kiwi propeller—a combination often chosen for its sailing efficiency and maneuverability. For those seeking a sailing boat with a diesel engine that can also navigate comfortably on inland waters, this is an important plus. What about navigation and electrical systems onboard? For navigation purposes, GPS, chart plotter, compass, and VHF radio are present. This makes her suitable for coastal waters and larger lakes while providing you with the basics to confidently plan longer passages as well. The onboard electrical system operates on 12V with additional 220V available via shore power. There is also an onboard battery charger and dynamo present. In 2022 new batteries were installed; there are two batteries with a total capacity of approximately 200 Ah. This setup is practical for lighting, navigation equipment, and daily use aboard. What is the condition of the ship and what known points require attention? According to reports, the boat is in good condition and was taken out of the water in 2024 for maintenance including antifouling in that year. However, there are some cosmetic tasks noted that the next owner may want to address: the deck needs painting; the transom requires re-varnishing; painting at the bow section; and varnishing of the tiller also needs attention. These tasks primarily concern aesthetics and protection of the woodwork while providing an opportunity to finish her according to personal taste. What sails and deck equipment come with her? She comes with an extensive sail wardrobe totaling ten sails including jib, genoa, mainsail, spinnaker, and storm jib. The condition of the sails is described as fair—consistent with a boat that has been used as intended: sailing. Outside you will find various items including outdoor cushions, pulpit and pushpit seats, lifelines, fenders along with lines and swim ladder. There are two anchors complete with chain and line as well as an inflatable dinghy—a Sport Yak rowboat—handy for anchoring spots or short crossings to shore. In terms of safety equipment there are life rings, life raft (note: this needs certification), plus self-draining cockpit features along with an electric bilge pump. This Van de Stadt 37 represents a classic wooden sailing boat with racing history—a sporty character complemented by complete basic equipment. For anyone looking to purchase through Boatauction seeking style, speed, and room for personal finishing touches in their Van de Stadt 37—this listing invites further exploration to bring her back onto the water.
