Compromis 720 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until September 21, 2026. Compromis 720 Alcyone cabin sailing yacht What kind of boat is this Compromis 720? This Compromis 720 is a charming cabin sailing yacht from 1970, built by Zaadnoordijk to a design by Rinus Zaadnoordijk. It is considered a precursor to the later Compromis 720 and was originally referred to as the Alcyone. With its classic round bilge hull, wooden mast, and clear layout, it is an interesting sailing boat for enthusiasts of characterful yachts and water sports lovers seeking an affordable vessel for inland waters. The hull is made of polyester and has a length of approximately 7.20 meters. Its width is 2.52 meters and the draft is about 0.90 meters. This makes it suitable for use on many Dutch lakes, canals, and rivers. The air draft is stated to be approximately 10.20 meters. Inside, it offers a headroom of about 1.77 meters, which is pleasant for a cabin sailing yacht of this size. The boat weighs approximately 1,500 kilograms. Compromis 720 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until September 21, 2026. Is this a suitable sailing boat for beginners? The Compromis 720 can be an attractive choice for someone who wants to learn sailing at a leisurely pace or seeks a compact cabin yacht for relaxed outings. Its tiller steering outside is direct and straightforward, while the sail plan with a jib and mainsail remains easy to understand. The mainsail features a reefing system so that the sail area can be adjusted under varying conditions. It is especially suitable for recreational sailing on inland waters. Think of day trips, weekends aboard, and short holidays where relaxation, atmosphere, and independent sailing are central themes. Due to its size, it is easier to maneuver and maintain than larger cabin yachts. At the same time, a boat from 1970 requires attention, technical checks, and an owner willing to get their hands dirty. How is the layout onboard? Inside this Compromis 720 has a practical cabin with two fixed berths. For those traveling with multiple people, there are also two additional sleeping places available. This provides space for up to four overnight guests in total, depending on the desired amount of luggage and comfort. The cabin is compact but usable for simple stays aboard and includes a toilet. Heating is not present. This makes it particularly suitable for day trips and short stays where shore facilities are utilized. The combination of polyester hull, wooden mast, and classic cabin layout gives it a warm, traditional appearance that appeals to many enthusiasts of older sailing yachts. What maintenance work deserves attention? According to available information, the boat is in reasonable condition but requires cosmetic attention. For instance, the paint shows blistering and the rigging is aged. There is also fouling present and the cabin doors do not close properly. A thorough cleaning session, trimming back the fouling growth, and inspecting the underwater hull are advisable before it is used intensively again. The last maintenance service out of the water took place in 2022 when antifouling was applied as well. With a boat of this age, it’s wise to carefully (have someone) check the hull, through-hulls, fittings, mast base, rigging, rudder installation, and deck hardware before use. The aging rigging also deserves replacement or at least thorough inspection. The cabin doors may possibly be adjusted or repaired depending on the condition of the woodwork and closures. What do you get with this cabin sailing boat? Onboard are two sails: a jib and a mainsail. The sails are in reasonable condition and form a usable basis for further outings. Additionally, it comes equipped with an anchor with chain and line, a tarpaulin cover, fenders, and lines. A dinghy, trailer, or motor are not included; therefore it’s intended for use as a sailing yacht and will require additional provisions for independent maneuvering in harbors or calm weather. The mast is made of wood and requires regular inspection just like the rest of the rigging. Check the condition of woodwork, fittings, rigging lines, and sails before departure. With proper attention this classic polyester sailing boat can be prepared again for relaxing sailing seasons. For whom is the Compromis 720 interesting? This Compromis 720 for sale is particularly interesting for handy water sports enthusiasts, restoration lovers or beginner sailors looking for a stylish cabin yacht while considering some refurbishment work needed. It offers an excellent basis for someone who values traditional design features along with straightforward sail handling and a compact yet functional cabin. Those willing to invest time in cleaning up work such as painting rigging lines or general checks will have the opportunity to gradually improve her according to their own wishes. The auction via Boatauction thus offers a chance at acquiring a characterful sailing boat suitable for inland waters with clear history at an appealing size. Will she soon form the basis for your next sailing adventures?
