Description

The Knort 32 Open from 1996 is a striking and spacious open sloop with a length of 6.27 meters and a width of 2.36 meters. This boat is constructed from composite material, contributing to a relatively low weight and a solid structure. With a draft of 94 cm, the sloop is suitable for various inland waters, including canals, lakes, ponds, and rivers. The boat is registered with the RDW. Layout and Use The Knort 32 Open is designed for day trips and recreational use. Thanks to its open layout, the boat offers ample seating space, allowing for comfortable sailing with multiple people. The steering is located outside, providing a direct and clear sailing experience. In recent years, the boat has been used for leisurely cruises in and around Amsterdam, where the spacious deck and open structure proved ideal for social gatherings. Motorization The sloop is equipped with a Sole SM 75 inboard diesel engine with a power of 75 hp. This motor configuration allows for relatively fast sailing for a boat of this type. The engine is operational, but a starting problem has been recently identified. During the last sailing day, the engine did not start, possibly due to an issue with the water pump or a battery connection. Similar previous problems have also been related to these components. A technical inspection is recommended to determine the cause and carry out any necessary repairs. Maintenance and Condition The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2024. The antifouling treatment dates back to 2022. There are some points of attention regarding the condition of the boat. The onboard woodwork is due for refurbishment, and scratches are visible on the paint on the exterior of the hull. These cosmetic and technical aspects provide room for improvement and personalization according to individual preferences. Trailer The boat comes with an unregistered trailer. The trailer is in reasonable condition and offers the possibility to transport the boat over the road or store it outside the sailing season. This enhances flexibility in use and maintenance. Special Features What sets this Knort 32 Open apart is its unique appearance. According to the current owner, it is a striking presence on the water, with a distinctive design that is rarely seen. The combination of an open layout, powerful engine, and spacious structure makes this sloop suitable for various recreational purposes. The boat has been used in the past for day trips with friends and family, particularly memorable on summer days in Amsterdam. Documentation and History The current owner acquired the boat in 2021 from a friend of his father and has used it for four years. Due to a move to Bloemendaal, the boat's usage has decreased, leading to the decision to sell the sloop. The Knort 32 Open provides a solid foundation for those seeking a spacious, characterful sloop with potential. Suitable for inland waters, accommodating multiple passengers, with attention to the woodwork and engine, this sloop can be fully customized for recreational use. Transport and storage are easily achievable with the included trailer. An appealing option for enthusiasts of open sloops with a distinctive character.
