Everyone can bid until March 16, 2026.Grundel 735 flat-bottomed boat for sale – distinctive steel classic with shallow draft and bow thrusterThe Grundel 735 from 1962 is a compact, steel flat-bottomed boat with a pronounced classic profile and practical dimensions for those who enjoy sailing on inland waters, lakes, ponds, and rivers. With a length of 7.35 meters and a width of 2.45 meters, this type of grundel offers a pleasant balance between maneuverability and usable space on board. The boat is particularly interesting for water sports enthusiasts looking for an authentic flat-bottomed boat for weekend trips, peaceful anchoring in natural areas, and navigating where many other boats have to turn back. The shallow draft of approximately 45 cm is a significant advantage, especially in shallow areas and sheltered creeks.Grundel 735 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until March 16, 2026.Design and sailing characteristics: flat-bottomed boat with access to shallow watersA grundel is designed for Dutch inland waters: shallows, changing shores, and narrow passages. This Grundel 735, thanks to its flat-bottomed construction and shallow draft, is well-suited for sailing areas such as the Biesbosch, where a deeper-draft vessel would have less freedom. Its clearance height of approximately 7.50 meters also makes it suitable for many routes with bridges, depending on the superstructure and load. Steering is done outside with a tiller and a single rudder, providing direct contact with the boat and a traditional sailing experience.Choosing a flat-bottomed boat also means opting for an active way of sailing. Sailing this type of boat involves using centerboards that you operate depending on the course and wind, making sailing dynamic and providing a great sense of trim and balance. At the same time, this boat can also be used as a motorboat for relaxed trips, locks, and routes with currents.Motorization and performance: Nanni diesel inboard with electric startOnboard is a Nanni inboard diesel engine (built in 1994) with 21 hp, 3 cylinders, and electric start. With approximately 450 operating hours, its use has been relatively limited. This engine is well-suited to the character of a 7.35-meter steel flat-bottomed boat: sufficient power for maneuvering smoothly, maintaining course on rivers, and comfortably cruising on inland waters. The cruising speed is around 12 km/h with a maximum of approximately 15 km/h, fitting recreational use and the common speed limits on many waterways. The diesel tank has a capacity of about 50 liters, providing a practical range for weekend trips and day outings, depending on sailing behavior and conditions.Maneuvering and convenience: electric bow thruster (2023)A significant modern advantage on this classic grundel is the electric bow thruster installed in 2023. This makes a noticeable difference when mooring, departing, and maneuvering in tight harbors or locks. While a flat-bottomed boat with a tiller and windage may require some attention at low speeds, the bow thruster offers extra control and peace of mind, especially for solo sailors or those frequently navigating busy transient harbors.Accommodation and living quarters: compact, functional, and cozyInside, the headroom is approximately 1.40 meters, meaning the interior is primarily designed for sitting and staying, not standing. This suits the type of boat and its year of construction: a cozy cabin where you can sit sheltered with multiple people. There are two fixed berths and two additional berths possible, allowing overnight stays with up to four people. Onboard, there are mattresses and a cooking stove, making the boat suitable for simple weekend trips and short vacations. There is a water tank of about 100 liters and a small tap for basic use. A toilet is not present, which is important to consider if planning longer trips or sailing with family.Equipment and technology: practical for inland waters and weekend useIn terms of basic equipment, there is a VHF radio for communication on the water. The onboard system is 12V, and there are two batteries with a total capacity of about 150 Ah, supported by a dynamo and battery charger. Outside, there are tarpaulins, fenders, and lines, making the boat immediately usable for mooring and transient harbors. There is one anchor with line attachment, suitable for use on sheltered inland waters.Maintenance and recent work: out of the water in 2025The boat was last out of the water in 2025 for maintenance, including applying antifouling. For interested buyers, documentation regarding the inboard engine is available, providing insight into specifications and history.Who is this Grundel 735 suitable for?This steel Grundel 735 is particularly appealing to enthusiasts of classic flat-bottomed boats seeking the charm of traditional sailing and enjoying exploring areas where shallow waters play a role. Think of nature trips, weekends on rivers and lakes, or peacefully anchoring in sheltered spots. You get a characterful boat with a robust diesel inboard, a modern bow thruster for added maneuverability, and a simple, functional cabin for overnight stays. Those who prioritize sailing experience, accessibility to shallow waters, and the authentic grundel feeling over onboard comfort will find this Grundel 735 a uniquely fitting choice.
