Classic Bakdekker 900 full of character For those in search of a classic steel Bakdekker with a story, this 1939 Bakdekker 900 is a striking find. Named Georgina, she embodies warmth, individuality, and stands out among more modern boats. With her round-bilge hull, teak deck, and distinctive lines, she is a boat meant to be not just used, but experienced. This Boatauction auction boat is ideal for enthusiasts of authentic details, leisurely cruising on inland waters, and the joy of a classic vessel that garners attention and admiration in every harbor and at every quay. Upon stepping inside, it becomes immediately clear why Georgina is so captivating. Her interior is largely original, exuding the essence of the thirties with rare materials seldom seen today. Think faceted glass in the cabinet, marble cupboards, and a terrazzo countertop in the kitchen. The cabin is remarkably bright due to side windows and two portholes, making time spent on board pleasant, even during extended weekends or holidays. With a headroom of approximately 1.85 meters, there is ample space to move around comfortably. Bakdekker 900 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. What makes her interior so special? Her interior stands out for its original finishes and ambiance, distinct from standard yacht construction of later years. The combination of terrazzo worktops, marble accents, and faceted glass gives her a classic look that complements a Bakdekker from 1939. The renewed cushions are about three years old, ensuring seating and sleeping comfort align with contemporary use while maintaining an authentic appearance. This is precisely the type of "classic Bakdekker with original interior" that many seekers look for when seeking a characterful boat or floating heritage. How does she sail and what engine does she have? She is powered by a 75 hp Volkswagen diesel inboard engine from 1996, sourced from a Volkswagen Jetta. The engine is operational and starts electrically. Onboard, there are gauges such as an oil pressure meter and temperature gauge, providing peace of mind for those who like to monitor the engine's condition while sailing. The cruising speed is around 9 kilometers per hour, with a top speed of approximately 11 kilometers per hour, suitable for relaxed cruises on canals, ditches, lakes, and rivers. The diesel pump has been completely overhauled, a new V-belt has been installed, and the starter motor relay and starting battery were replaced last year. This makes her appealing to buyers seeking a steel Bakdekker with a diesel inboard engine and who value a practical foundation for sailing. Is she suitable for overnight stays? Yes, she is equipped for overnight stays with two fixed berths and two additional sleeping places. This makes her suitable for a weekend getaway, holidays on inland waters, or simply an evening on a small island. The accommodation includes a dining area, cooking stove, and mattresses. There is a manual toilet onboard, with the toilet discharge not directly into open water. In the bow, the toilet has been replaced with a dry toilet, while the fittings are still in place for those who may wish to alter the layout later. For many buyers, this layout offers the flexibility they desire. What are the known points of attention? Georgina is in reasonable condition and has a notable point of attention: rain leakage in the cabin. This is important to consider in your plans, especially if you intend to further enhance her or bring her closer to her original appearance. She was last out of the water for maintenance in 2023, during which antifouling was applied. Those purchasing a steel boat from 1939 often deliberately seek a project with character, allowing for gradual improvements without sacrificing the joy of sailing. What is included in the purchase? The sale includes various items that facilitate boarding, such as cushions, kitchenware, mattresses, curtains to be hung, the original folding table, the dry toilet, and small accessories. Outside, you will find a cockpit tent, cockpit table, outdoor cushions, fenders and lines, a swim ladder, and an anchor with chain. A unique chapter in her history is that she originally had a fixed wooden superstructure. This was removed by a previous owner, likely resulting in her losing her monumental status at De Oude Glorie. However, much has been preserved: original front windows have been reinstated, and a demountable canvas superstructure was installed three years ago. Original hardware and large copper through-hull fittings have been retained, along with wooden parts that can serve as templates if one wishes to restore her towards her original build. Thus, Georgina is not only a delightful classic Bakdekker to sail, but also an opportunity for someone who appreciates history, craftsmanship, and shaping a unique steel boat with name and soul.
