Zeeschouw Platbodem now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. Characterful Zeeschouw ready for new adventures This Zeeschouw platbodem from 1981 is a boat you can't overlook. It features the classic lines expected from a sturdy steel flat-bottomed vessel, with an appearance that suits canals, lakes, and wide rivers, as well as those peaceful weekends where you simply want to disconnect from the shore. The boat was built by Twillert of Bunschoten and bears construction number BU 104. With a length of 10.00 meters, a width of 4.00 meters, and a draft of approximately 1.00 meter, she is spacious and stable, while her flat-bottom design invites exploration of shallower waters where many other cabin sailboats shy away. Inside, it immediately stands out that this Zeeschouw not only has the aura of a working boat but also warmth and atmosphere. The finishing touches are reportedly beautifully crafted by Dorr Lemmer, giving her interior a pleasant, classic look. With a standing height of about 2.00 meters, life on board feels roomy even during longer stays. She offers three fixed sleeping places plus two additional sleeping spots, making it perfect for family or friends. What makes this Zeeschouw so special? What truly sets her apart is her character and background. This is a distinctive Zeeschouw that has reportedly been the Dutch champion in her class at one time. That speaks volumes about her sailing qualities and the type of boat she is: a flat-bottom vessel that is not only beautiful to behold but also made for sailing and navigation. With her wooden mast and a sail wardrobe of five sails, including jib, mainsail, and staysail, she offers traditional sailing enthusiasts plenty of options to adjust the sail plan to suit weather conditions and water. How does she sail and maneuver under motor? Under motor power, she is driven by a Mercedes OM 636 inboard diesel engine with 55 hp, electric start, and equipped with features such as a tachometer, temperature gauge, and oil pressure gauge. The reported fuel consumption is around 2.5 liters per hour with a cruising speed of about 20 kilometers per hour, making her suitable for trips across lakes and rivers as well as comfortable transitions between beautiful mooring spots. Steering is done with an external tiller which complements the open and direct feel that many enthusiasts seek in a steel flat-bottom vessel. How is comfort arranged on board? On board you will find amenities that make weekend getaways or longer journeys enjoyable. She has a dining area, cooking stove and microwave, plus a refrigerator and freezer for provisions. Hot water is available along with hot air heating ensuring the season doesn't have to end when evenings turn cooler. The water tank holds approximately 200 liters while the diesel tank has around 180 liters capacity. For power supply there are both 12V and 220V options with shore power connection, voltmeter, and solar panel. There are three batteries present with a total capacity of 220Ah which is convenient for those who prefer to anchor freely. Navigation equipment such as depth sounder, compass, and VHF radio are included for relaxed yet conscious sailing. What known points should be considered? With a boat that has character come points to keep in mind as well. A small leak has been reported at the teak deck and attention has been drawn to the oil pressure of the engine. These are matters that any buyer should seriously consider when weighing their options or may wish to have checked out further. On the positive side, she has reportedly spent long periods frost-free indoors. The boat was taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026 when antifouling treatment was also carried out that same year. Additionally, she is equipped with an electric bilge pump, self-draining cockpit, and a lifebuoy. Externally she features teak decking, fenders and lines along with a swim ladder. Furthermore, there are summer and winter tents available which enhance her usability throughout the year making life on board more comfortable both in harbor or at anchor with one anchor on line. Anyone looking for a Zeeschouw platbodem—a steel sailing boat with tiller or a classic Dutch flat-bottom vessel offering space and charm—will find this lady an attractive candidate. She invites you to use her once again for what she was made for: sailing on the most beautiful inland waters. This auction presents an excellent opportunity to become the owner of a boat rich in history, atmosphere, and distinct identity through Boatauction.
