Koopmans Coastal Cruiser now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until May 18, 2026. What kind of boat is this Koopmans Coastal Cruiser exactly? She is a steel sailboat with a round-bilge hull and long keel, built for comfortable and steady sailing. Steering is done with a tiller from the cockpit, a feature many sailors appreciate for the direct connection with the rudder. Her design reflects the classic Dutch yacht building style: functional, timeless, and with a pleasant balance between sailing characteristics and living space. For those seeking a Dick Koopmans design, this is precisely the type of vessel often mentioned as a great all-rounder for holidays and weekend trips. Inside, the boat offers practical accommodation with a dining area, stove, and mattresses. The headroom of approximately 1.90 meters makes staying on board pleasant, especially for a vessel of this length. There are five fixed berths, making her appealing for a (young) family or those who enjoy traveling with friends. How does she sail and maneuver with the engine? The boat is equipped with an 18 hp Sabb inboard diesel engine with electric start. The engine is operational, and onboard instruments include an oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge. With a cruising speed of around 8 km per hour and a maximum speed of around 12 km per hour, she is suitable for leisurely cruising, navigating locks, and covering distances under motor power when the wind drops. The diesel tank has a capacity of approximately 70 liters, providing a useful range for many sailing plans on inland waters and coastal routes. Maneuvering is done without a bow thruster, fitting the classic character of this vessel. Her long keel and single rudder typically offer stable sailing behavior, while the tiller steering keeps the handling intuitive. Is she suitable for family vacations? Yes, this Koopmans Coastal Cruiser is specifically designed with that use in mind. It has been used for years for holidays on inland waters, lakes, rivers, and even seas. With five fixed berths, a dining area, and cooking facilities, you can truly stay on board instead of just taking day trips. Also practical: there is a water tank of approximately 100 liters and a manual toilet. The cockpit is self-draining, which is convenient in changing conditions. Externally, she is equipped with amenities that enhance comfort, such as a sprayhood, cockpit tent, exterior cushions, and deck covers. Pulpit and pushpit, lifelines, fenders, and lines are present, which is useful for mooring. There is also a dinghy, which often provides that extra bit of freedom on vacation for a trip to shore or a visit to a beach. What about sailing and navigation on board? She has one wooden mast and a sail plan that invites handling various conditions. Onboard, there are a jib, genoa, mainsail, spinnaker, and storm jib, with the sails described as in reasonable condition. For those looking for a "classic steel sailboat with sail package" or a "round-bilge long keel sail-ready vessel," this is an attractive starting point for sailing and making personal choices along the way. In terms of navigation, she is equipped with GPS, compass, depth sounder, log, speedometer, and an autopilot. This makes her suitable for both inland and coastal navigation, helping to sail longer distances in a relaxed manner. The onboard voltage is 12V. When was she last out of the water? The boat was last out of the water in 2022 for maintenance, and in the same year, the antifouling treatment was done. This provides a recent reference point for those interested in knowing when the last work on the underwater hull was carried out. This Koopmans Coastal Cruiser is a warm and honest offer for enthusiasts of classic steel sailing yachts, a round-bilge long keel vessel with charisma and family history. She awaits a new owner who will grant her many beautiful miles, on the river, the lake, or along the coast, and who recognizes the joy of a boat made for building memories.
