1966 Lemsteraak 8.37, Reserveret

Compact Lemsteraak with surprising interior

A very friendly smaller Lemsteraak, very well maintained, long owned by the current owners, surprising layout which makes it a very pleasant ship.

Following a report from Jan Kooyman there has been an intensive refit in 2001. (At the shipbuilders Werkendam)

A lot has been renewed, such as hull and superstructure blasted and put in 2 comp. epoxy, new layout, new interior, new engine, etc.

The boat was already of good quality, the refit has contributed to the fact that the maintenance is relatively limited in scope.

The inside of the hull is insulated for extra comfort.
