Description

This 1978 Huitema Zeeschouw is a classic Dutch sailing yacht with a rich history and distinctive appearance. Built at the Flaquee shipyard, it has become a familiar sight on Dutch inland waters and lakes. Owned by the same individual since 2000, the boat has been carefully used for leisure, sporty trips, vacations, and weekend getaways. Following the owner's passing in December 2024, the heirs are now offering the vessel. Dimensions and Construction The Huitema Zeeschouw measures 9.00 meters in length, 3.25 meters in width, and has a draft of 0.80 meters. Its flat bottom makes it ideal for shallow waters like the Frisian lakes and the IJsselmeer. The hull is entirely made of steel, contributing to the ship's robustness and stability. Steering is done through a wheel in the open cockpit, with a single rudder at the rear. Interior and Accommodation Inside, the Zeeschouw accommodates four people, with two fixed berths and two additional sleeping spaces. The interior features a dining area, mattresses, a refrigerator, and a stove. There is a manual toilet on board, with direct discharge into open water. The water tank holds 100 liters, sufficient for shorter stays aboard. Sail Equipment The vessel is equipped with a traditional rig featuring a wooden mast and three sails: a mainsail and a jib are part of the standard sail plan. The sails are described to be in fair condition. This setup allows for both relaxed cruising and more spirited sailing. The classic rig enhances the authentic sailing experience aboard a Zeeschouw. Engine and Technology The Huitema Zeeschouw is powered by an inboard 36 hp Mercedes diesel engine with four cylinders. The engine starts electrically and is operational. With a 300-liter fuel tank, the vessel has a generous range. Onboard, various gauges are present, including a fuel tank gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer. For enhanced maneuverability, the ship is equipped with an electric bow thruster. The electrical system comprises two batteries, a battery charger, alternator, inverter, and shore power connection. The onboard voltage is 12V. Navigation and Safety Navigation-wise, the ship features a depth sounder and a compass. Additionally, there is a lifebuoy and a self-draining cockpit. These provisions contribute to a safe voyage on both inland waters and larger lakes. Exterior Equipment The exterior of the vessel includes a sprayhood, cockpit tent, deck covers, fenders and lines, a guardrail, and a swim ladder. This equipment enhances deck comfort and provides protection against the elements. Maintenance and Condition The boat underwent maintenance in 2024, including the renewal of antifouling while out of the water. Described as being in good condition, the vessel has a maintenance history dating back to 2000. Throughout this period, it has been exclusively used on inland waters and lakes. This 1978 Huitema Zeeschouw is a traditionally built steel sailing yacht with a rich history of use. Accommodating four individuals, it is equipped with a reliable diesel engine and features a classic rig. Its flat bottom makes it particularly suitable for shallow waters. The blend of sailing characteristics, comfort, and character makes this vessel appealing to enthusiasts of traditional Dutch sailing yachts.
