Pettersson Snipa now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. Pettersson Snipa 1955 Swedish charm Those who appreciate classic wooden boats will immediately recognize her: this 1955 Pettersson Snipa is an elegant Swedish classic with a friendly round-bilge hull and a charm that is rarely encountered today. The boat is 6.25 meters long and 2.30 meters wide, with a shallow draft of approximately 0.50 meters, making her ideal for inland waters and lakes, precisely where she has been used. Through Boatauction, she now has the opportunity to find a new owner who appreciates her character and is willing to get her ready for carefree summer days. Inside, you will find a simple, practical accommodation with mattresses and two fixed sleeping places. With a headroom of about 1.00 meter, she is primarily designed for cozy sitting, resting, and overnight stays, as expected from a traditional snipa. Steering her from the open cockpit with a tiller gives sailing a direct and classic feel. The teak deck and cockpit table contribute to that warm, timeless atmosphere that many enthusiasts seek when specifically looking for a wooden motorboat, a Pettersson Snipa, or a Swedish classic. What makes this Pettersson Snipa so appealing? Her charm lies in the combination of size, lines, and simplicity. With an air draft of approximately 0.95 meters, she is also interesting for those who enjoy passing under low bridges and leisurely cruising through canals and ponds. The round-bilge hull gives her a soft, classic look that suits the relaxed nature of this type of boat. She comes with a boat cover, fenders, and lines, and includes an anchor with chain and line. There is also an electric bilge pump on board, which is convenient for use and monitoring in the harbor. Is the engine operational and what can you expect on the water? The engine is operational. She has an Albin O22 inboard gasoline engine with electric start and a power of 10 hp. Onboard, there are an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge, allowing you to monitor basic values while sailing. The cruising speed is around 10 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed is around 13 kilometers per hour, suitable for relaxed leisurely cruising. With a fuel capacity of 20 liters, she is primarily a boat for beautiful day trips and tranquil touring routes, where enjoying the sailing is more important than rushing. The electrical system is 12V, and there are two batteries with a total capacity of 120 Ah, supplemented with a dynamo and battery charger. What is the condition of the hull and what does it require from a buyer? The boat is in reasonable condition, with one important point to note: the seams of the hull need to be re-caulked or sealed and are currently not watertight. This means she requires work before you can confidently leave her in the water for an extended period. For the handy enthusiast or someone with a shipyard contact, this is a manageable, targeted task that aligns well with owning a wooden boat. She was last out of the water in 2026 for maintenance, and the last antifouling treatment was in 2025, providing insight into recent focus areas regarding the hull. Is a trailer included, and what does that mean practically? Yes, a storage trailer is included. The trailer is braked, has two axles, and is in reasonable condition. Practically, this is a significant advantage: she can be easily placed on land for hull work, and you have flexibility for storage or transport. For buyers looking for a boat with a trailer, or specifically a classic wooden boat that can be easily taken out of the water, this is a valuable addition. The owner put this Pettersson Snipa in the water, but due to work on a new home, there is no longer time to continue working on her. This presents a great opportunity for someone dreaming of a wooden Pettersson, a snipa with character, and a project focused mainly on one clear step: making the hull watertight again. After that, a charming Swedish motorboat will be ready to create new memories on lakes and inland waters, precisely where she feels most at home.
