Vlet 400 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until December 8, 2025. Vlet 400 – Steel sloop for versatile use on inland waters General characteristics of the Vlet 400 The Vlet 400 is a compact steel boat with a length of 4 meters and a width of 1.20 meters. Thanks to its shallow draft of only 20 centimeters, this vlet is particularly suitable for use on shallow waters such as canals, ditches, and ponds. The design is traditional and functional, with a robust hull that is characteristic of vlet boats. The boat is made of steel, contributing to its strength and stability on the water. Construction and use of materials The hull of the Vlet 400 is entirely made of steel, a material known for its durability and solid sailing properties. Steel vlets are often chosen for their stability and the sense of security they provide, especially on calm inland waters. The boat has a well, a built-in engine room where an outboard motor can be placed. This construction ensures that the motor is partially integrated into the boat, which can reduce the noise level during sailing and better protect the motor from external influences. Suitable for various sailing conditions The Vlet 400 is designed for use on inland waters and has been used in the past on canals, ditches, lakes, ponds, and rivers. Due to its compact dimensions, the boat is maneuverable and easy to handle, making it suitable for both urban waterways and open ponds. The boat has been used for recreational purposes such as day trips, pleasure boating, and sports activities. Thanks to the open nature of the boat, there is enough space for multiple passengers, depending on the layout and weight. Motorization and propulsion The Vlet 400 is equipped with a well for an outboard motor. This means that the boat does not have a built-in motor, but an external motor can be placed in the well. The choice of an outboard motor offers flexibility in power and maintenance. The well construction ensures that the motor is less visible and that the boat exhibits a smoother sailing behavior, especially at low speeds. Maintenance and usage history There are no recent data available on when the boat was last taken out of the water or when the last antifouling treatment was performed. These are important points of attention for potential buyers who want to inspect the boat or prepare it for the new sailing season. The condition of the boat is described as fair, which may indicate signs of use or maintenance that will be needed in the future. Applications and target audience The Vlet 400 is suitable for water sports enthusiasts looking for a simple, functional boat for recreational use. Due to its size and construction, the boat is particularly suitable for use on calm inland waters. The boat offers opportunities for short boat trips, fishing, or as a means of transportation on the water. Thanks to the steel hull, the boat is resistant to minor collisions and contact with quays or lock walls, making it suitable for use in urban environments. In summary The Vlet 400 is a steel boat with a traditional look and a practical layout. The presence of a well for an outboard motor offers flexibility in motorization. The boat is designed for use on inland waters and is suitable for recreational use. Potential buyers are advised to inspect the maintenance condition and technical condition of the boat more closely, especially given the lack of recent maintenance data.
