Standfast 33 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until September 21, 2026. Standfast 33 classic cruising yacht What kind of boat is the Standfast 33? The Standfast 33 is a classic cruising yacht from 1989, designed by Frans Maas in Breskens and built at a Belgian yard. With a length of 9.99 meters, a beam of 3.20 meters, and a draft of 1.80 meters, it combines a distinctive appearance with pleasant sailing characteristics. The round bilge hull made of fiberglass gives her a calm, balanced line and contributes to comfortable behavior under sail. This Standfast is suitable for both inland waters and lakes as well as coastal waters. From Almere, she has been used for multi-day trips on the IJsselmeer, Markermeer, and to Texel. The Dutch, Belgian, and northern French coasts and the southeast coast of England are also part of her cruising area. This makes her interesting for those looking for a sailing boat for day trips, weekends, vacations, and longer journeys. The current owner has had her since 2007 and has made many trips with family aboard. Over the years, the boat has clearly been used for its intended purpose: relaxing sailing, discovering new harbors along the way, and enjoying comfortable living on board. Standfast 33 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until September 21, 2026. How does this Standfast 33 sail? Under sail, the Standfast 33 is known as a fine cruising yacht with a good balance between comfort and speed. Her sail plan consists of a mainsail, roller genoa, and asymmetrical spinnaker. The headsail features a roller system and the mainsail can be reefed using reef lines. This allows the sail configuration to be adjusted according to wind conditions while underway. The combination of her classic design, well-lined hull, and adjustable sails makes her suitable for various conditions. The owner describes that she behaves well both on inland waters and at sea and can maintain her course even in stronger winds. A memorable moment occurred during a crossing from Texel to Den Oever when the owner managed to overtake a theoretically faster boat by making slight adjustments to the sail trim. Steering is done outside with a tiller. The single rudder construction provides direct contact with the water and suits the character of this type of sailing yacht well. On board are various instruments including a compass, depth sounder, log and speedometer, GPS, chart plotter, VHF radio, radar, and wind meter. Is the boat suitable for longer trips? Yes, her layout and equipment make her suitable for multi-day trips and vacations. Inside she offers a headroom of about 1.90 meters. There are three fixed berths plus two additional sleeping spaces. The accommodation includes a dining area, mattresses, a stove, oven, and refrigerator with compressor. This allows the crew to stay independently on board for extended periods. The water tank has a capacity of 200 liters. For heating purposes, there is a heater present which provides additional comfort during early and late seasons. The manual toilet is part of the accommodation; its discharge goes directly into open water; potential buyers are advised to consider this aspect in their assessment of the cruising area and local regulations. Outside she has a spaciously designed cockpit where the crew can sit comfortably. The cockpit features a cockpit table, outdoor cushions, and a bimini top. There are also pedestals, stern seats, lifelines, fenders, lines, and a swim ladder available. The self-draining cockpit and electric bilge pump contribute to practical use on board. What about the boat's engine? The Standfast 33 is powered by a Yanmar 3GM30 inboard diesel engine from 1987. This three-cylinder diesel engine delivers 27 hp and starts electrically. The engine is operational and has a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters. The stated cruising speed is approximately 8 kilometers per hour while she can reach up to about 9.5 kilometers per hour at maximum speed. About eight years ago the fixed two-blade propeller was replaced with a three-blade feathering propeller. According to the owner this modification enhances both motoring performance as well as sailing efficiency. On board are fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer present. The stated fuel consumption is approximately 2 liters per hour depending on conditions load and RPM. What electrical and navigation equipment is available? On board are three batteries each with a capacity of 108 Ah. Additionally she is equipped with a battery charger, alternator, voltmeter and shore power connection. In harbor the boat can be connected to shore power allowing onboard electrical systems to be used while charging batteries. For navigation and communication there are various instruments including GPS chart plotter radar VHF radio compass depth sounder log speedometer wind meter present onboard.The electrical system operates on 12 volts providing broad support for both leisurely outings on lakes as well as coastal voyages. What points should potential buyers consider? Due to illness of the owner regular maintenance has been neglected.The buyer should take into account work needed on the underwater hull which includes cleaning lubricating propeller shaft reapplying antifouling polishing up boat.The last time she was out of water for maintenance was in 2023; also last antifouling treatment took place in 2023. Additionally attention is needed for wind vane wind meter winches need lubrication stiff lines should be washed or possibly replaced.It’s also recommended that gas hoses be replaced.The slats on swim ladder should also be replaced.No signs of osmosis have been reported.These points give buyers clear insight into necessary work required to make her fully seaworthy again ready for new sailing season ahead.
