De Vries Lentsch Kotter now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until September 21, 2026. The De Vries Lentsch Kotter with character For those searching for a steel ketch with classic lines and a warm, familiar feel, this De Vries Lentsch from 1983 is a particularly attractive candidate. The boat is built with a round bilge, which is evident in her timeless appearance and comfortable behavior on the water. With an approximate length of 12.00 meters, a width of 4.00 meters, and a draft of about 2.00 meters, she presents a serious profile, suitable for longer journeys on inland waters, lakes, and rivers, as well as for more ambitious offshore sailing when conditions and preparations are right. Her air draft of approximately 14.00 meters and two aluminum masts underscore that she is not just a motorboat but a true sailing ketch that invites you to set sail. Below deck, the boat offers a headroom of about 2.00 meters, making life on board comfortable even during extended trips. There are six fixed berths, making her appealing for families, couples who enjoy hosting guests, or water sports enthusiasts seeking space for longer vacations. The accommodation is equipped with a dining area and a galley featuring a stove, oven, and freezer. Mattresses are also included. With a water tank of approximately 420 liters and a diesel tank of around 360 liters, she is designed for autonomy so you don’t have to seek harbor after every sailing day. The De Vries Lentsch Kotter now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until September 21, 2026. How does she sail in practice? She is equipped with an inboard diesel engine, a Peugeot Indanor with Volvo Penta designation, producing 55 hp from four cylinders and started electrically. The engine is operational and suits the character of a ketch that makes her miles both under sail and power. The stated cruising speed is around 10 kilometers per hour, with a maximum speed of approximately 16 kilometers per hour. Steering is done with a wheel inside and tiller outside. For those searching for “steel ketch 12 meters,” “De Vries Lentsch ketch,” or “round bilge ketch for sale,” this boat fits perfectly within that beloved segment. How is comfort arranged on board? On board you will find amenities that make your stay pleasant even outside the peak season. She has a heater for warmth and an electric toilet. The toilet discharge goes directly to open water; this is important to consider in your own usage plans and the local regulations of your cruising area. In terms of electrical systems, she features 12V power supply, dynamo, voltmeter, shore power connection, and solar panels (Aqua Solar). The total battery capacity is approximately 300 Ah, which helps maintain self-sufficiency on board longer when combined with shore power and solar panels. Additionally mentioned in the available documentation are an autoradio with CD player and an Engel cooler. What navigation equipment comes with her? For navigation purposes, she is notably complete for a boat in this class. Think depth sounder, GPS, chart plotter, compass, VHF radio, and radar. This makes her interesting for those who not only sail day trips but also want to navigate more seriously on open waters or in reduced visibility conditions. On deck she is equipped with davits, a crane or hoist system, guardrails, and a swim ladder among other features. An anchor comes complete with chain and a manual anchor windlass. Fenders and lines are also included for practical mooring needs. For safety there are life buoys, liferaft, and self-draining cockpit — features highly valued by many water sports enthusiasts when conditions become rougher. What is her current condition and what needs attention? According to reports the boat is in reasonable condition and was taken out of the water in 2024 for maintenance during which antifouling was applied as well. However there is one clear point of concern: the teak deck on the cabin leaks and requires repair or replacement. For the same reason the teak from the walk deck has already been removed. This is valuable information for buyers specifically looking for a “project boat ketch,” “steel sailing boat with motor,” or a ketch where you have room to further improve it according to your own wishes. It’s an opportunity for someone who enjoys getting their hands dirty to make her fully suitable again for their sailing plans. This De Vries Lentsch Ketch combines space, classic construction, and complete basic equipment with an honestly stated improvement point. She invites you to redesign her as a comfortable cruising vessel or as a sailing vacation home on the water or as a sturdy touring ketch for longer passages. Through Boatauction she gets the chance to find herself with a new owner who appreciates her character and will shape her future on the water further.
