The Sailing Sloop 900 from 1940 is a historic, robust sailing sloop with a length of 9 meters and a width of 3 meters. This makes the ship spacious and suitable for various waters, from inland waters to lakes and seas, with a draft of 1.20 meters. The hull is made of steel and has a round bilge shape, which contributes to stability and good sailing behavior.
The sloop is steered with a traditional tiller, providing a direct and authentic experience on the water. The rudder is single, which is common for ships of this type. The steering position is located outside, giving the skipper a good overview.
The accommodation on board offers practical amenities, including a stove, mattresses, benches, and a simple sanitary facility in the form of a potty. This makes the sloop suitable for day trips and short stays.
Propulsion is provided by a Lister diesel engine with 10 hp, a single cylinder, and a fuel consumption of about 1 liter per hour. This makes the ship efficient in use. The engine starts electrically, and there are two batteries on board that provide sufficient energy for the electrical systems and engine start.
The sailing equipment consists of a wooden mast and two sails in good condition, allowing the sloop to sail both by motor and sail power. There is also an anchor on board for safe anchorage in open water.
With its classic lines, traditional design, and solid construction, the Sailing Sloop 900 offers an authentic sailing experience and is an attractive choice for enthusiasts of historic ships who enjoy both sailing and motorboating. The ship is a valuable addition for those looking for a classic vessel with character.
