Classic steel motorboat from 1924 – Unique sloop with character and history This classic steel sloop, also referred to as a "motorboat," is a special specimen from the year 1924. With a length of 7.2 meters and a width of 1.9 meters, this boat offers space for relaxing cruises on inland waters. The boat is made of riveted steel, a construction technique typical of the early 20th century and rarely used today. This makes the vessel a unique piece of floating heritage. Layout and design The term "motorboat" refers to the unique layout of this sloop. The engine is placed at the front, reminiscent of the structure of a classic car. The dashboard and the second row of seats enhance this image. Steering is done through an exterior steering wheel, providing a direct and clear sailing experience. The boat has a single rudder. A detachable window is present, affecting the clearance height. With the window mounted, the clearance height is 135 cm, without the window it is only 95 cm. This makes the boat suitable for low bridges and narrow waterways. Technical specifications The boat is equipped with an inboard diesel engine from the brand Lomatec, model 64. This engine was installed in 2018 and has since accumulated approximately 150 running hours. The engine has four cylinders and delivers a power of 64 hp. The electric start function ensures ease of use. The cruising speed is around 20 km/h, with a maximum speed of approximately 25 km/h. The fuel tank has a capacity of 50 liters. Onboard, various gauges are present, including a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, and temperature gauge. The electrical system includes a voltmeter and two batteries. An electric bilge pump is also installed. Maintenance and condition The boat was fully restored in 2018, including the replacement of the engine. In 2024, the boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance, and a new antifouling layer was applied. The hull and interior were professionally crafted by a yacht builder. The boat is not registered, but VAT has been paid, and a purchase agreement is available. Intended use and sailing experience The current owner mainly used the boat for day trips on inland waters. The sailing characteristics are described as calm and comfortable, ideal for tours and recreational use. The boat is not a fast vessel but offers a relaxed sailing experience. The low clearance height without the window allows for navigation in hard-to-reach places. History and special features This sloop is a rare specimen within the category of classic boats. The riveted steel construction and unique layout make it a striking presence on the water. The boat often catches the attention of passersby and fellow water sports enthusiasts. The combination of classic appearance and modern motorization makes this vessel suitable for nautical heritage enthusiasts who value character and charm.
