Everyone can bid until December 15, 2025.Grundel 735 Flat-bottomed from 1962 – Traditional sailing with characterGeneral overview of the GrundelThe Grundel is a classic flat-bottomed sailing boat, built in 1962 at the Kooijman en de Vries shipyard. This shipyard is known for its traditional shipbuilding and crafting characterful vessels with shallow draught, suitable for shallow inland waters. The Grundel has a length of 7.35 meters, a width of 2.45 meters, and a draught of only 45 centimeters. Thanks to this shallow draught, it is possible to navigate areas with this ship that are inaccessible to many other boats, such as the narrow creeks and shallow ponds of the Biesbosch.The hull is made of steel, contributing to the ship's robustness. The air draught is also 7.35 meters, making the ship suitable for a wide range of inland waters. The headroom inside is 1.40 meters, meaning the interior is mainly suitable for sitting. There is space for four people to sleep, two on fixed berths and two on additional berths.Grundel 735 now in the online auction.

It features a two-burner stove, mattresses for the sleeping berths, and a 100-liter water tank. There is no toilet on board. The living space is limited but provides enough seating for four people. The low headroom makes prolonged stays on board less suitable for those seeking ample interior space, but for short trips or weekend stays, the ship offers sufficient comfort.The boat is equipped with a tarpaulin, fenders, and lines. This equipment allows for safe mooring and protection against weather conditions.Propulsion and sailing characteristicsThe Grundel is equipped with a Nanni inboard diesel engine, type 3.9 HE, with a power of 21 hp. This engine, built in 1994, has approximately 450 operating hours and is electrically started. The engine is suitable for sailing against the current and offers a cruising speed of around 12 km/h, with a maximum speed of 15 km/h. The fuel tank has a capacity of 50 liters.An outstanding feature of this Grundel is the presence of an electric bow thruster. This significantly facilitates maneuvering, especially when docking or passing through locks. The boat has two batteries with a total capacity of 150 Ah, charged by a dynamo and battery charger. The electrical system operates at 12 volts.Sailing characteristics and usageSailing a flat-bottomed boat like this Grundel requires active involvement from the crew. In addition to operating the sails, the leeboards must also be manually adjusted. This makes sailing a physical and engaging experience. The boat has mainly been used on inland waters, lakes, ponds, and rivers, suitable for short trips or weekend stays.The Grundel is particularly suitable for enthusiasts of traditional sailing and those seeking adventure in hard-to-reach sailing areas. Thanks to its shallow draught, it is possible to sail in shallow creeks and nature reserves where other boats cannot reach. The oars on board allow navigation even in densely vegetated areas.DocumentationDocumentation regarding the inboard engine is available. The last time the boat was taken out of the water for maintenance and antifouling was in 2025.Experiences and special featuresThe current owner describes the Grundel as a vessel that has provided unique experiences, such as overnight stays on remote islands in the Biesbosch. The combination of a strong engine, shallow draught, and traditional sailing characteristics makes the ship suitable for adventurous journeys in nature. The bow thruster contributes to ease of use, especially when docking and maneuvering in tight spaces.ConclusionThis 1962 Grundel offers an authentic sailing experience for those who enjoy traditional sailing on inland waters. With its steel hull, functional equipment, and characteristic sailing properties, the ship is suitable for short trips and adventurous explorations of shallow sailing areas. The combination of a working diesel engine, electric bow thruster, and manual operation of the sails and leeboards makes sailing an active pursuit.
