Vollenhoven's bulb fisherman implementation

Wilster - characteristic Vollenhovense bol visserman in excellent condition


The Wilster is a beautifully lined Vollenhovense bol visserman version, built in 1985 by De Scheepbouwers BV in Werkendam (construction number 854). This classic Dutch flat-bottomed yacht combines authentic appearance with solid craftsmanship and modern comfort. With her warm woodwork, neat rigging and sturdy lines, she is a striking appearance on every waterway.


With a length of 8.10 meters, a width of 3.10 meters and a shallow draft of only 0.70 meters, the Wilster is ideal for both spacious inland waters and shallow waters. Thanks to the mast that can be lowered, the vertical clearance is only 2 meters, while standing is about 10 meters.


On board you will find practical facilities such as a poti-poti toilet, stainless steel water tank of approx. 100 liters, aluminum diesel tank of approx. 40 liters, Garmin handheld GPS, marine telephone and 3-color top light.


The Wilster has been carefully maintained and improved over the years. In 2003 a reliable Volvo Penta MD2030 was installed by VEHA Groningen. The underwater ship was sandblasted in 2001 by Elzinga in Irnsum. Recently renewed or executed are among others:


New tent and covers (Veenstra-Voolstra, 2024)


Anodes renewed (2025)


Oak planking winches (2025)


Stainless steel mast stringer with winch, to be mounted on bow (2025)


Major maintenance and painting 2026


New hard antifouling, 2 coats International Interspeed (2026)


Various technical improvements to engine mounts, mik, diesel tank and fittings


The woodwork has also been excellently cared for: spars, daggerboards and rudder were stripped bare and re-treated in 2023, and other parts have been maintained with high-quality Epifanes hardwood oil.


A heavy tarpaulin and cover for the cowling is provided for winter storage.
