Auction: 1900 Kajuitzeilboot 860

Kajuitzeilboot 860 now in the online auction. everyone can bid until 6 July 2026.


Characterful cabin sailboat as a projectThis Cabin Sailboat 860 is a tough steel cabin sailboat with a classic look and a hard-chine hull that gives her a distinctive silhouette. She is 8.60 metres long and 2.40 metres wide, with a draft of approximately 1.50 metres. This makes the boat well suited for inland waterways and lakes—exactly the waters she has been used on before. Think of a weekend away, sporty sailing, or simply a day on the water, with the idea that afterwards you can step back into the cabin in comfort. Via BoatAuction she is offered as a project boat, in her current condition, so a handy buyer can rebuild her step by step to their own taste.

The hull is steel, which appeals to many enthusiasts because of its robust character and the solid foundation a steel sailboat can offer. At the same time, it is important to realise that she is listed as damaged and has been laid up for a long time. You can see that in the overall impression: there is atmospheric soiling and green algae on deck and sails, and the interior also needs attention. For many bidders, that is exactly where the charm lies: the opportunity to bring a characterful cabin boat back to a fresh, personal condition.

Cabin Sailboat 860 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid up to and including 6 July 2026.What kind of boat is the Cabin Sailboat 860?The Cabin Sailboat 860 is a cabin sailboat with tiller steering in the cockpit and a single rudder. She is built with a hard-chine hull, which often provides a practical layout and a recognisable sailing character. With two fixed berths, she is mainly suitable for couples or solo sailors who like to cruise compactly but still want the shelter of a cabin. The boat has previously been used for leisure cruising, holidays and weekend trips, which suits her size and setup well.

What about the engine and propulsion?She is equipped with one inboard diesel engine, installed in an engine compartment. The make and model are unknown and the engine has not been tested; the status is therefore unknown. For a buyer, this means you should allow for inspection, maintenance and possibly repairs before you can rely on the engine for harbour manoeuvres or longer motoring stretches. For many project buyers, that is a logical part of the process: first assess, then improve step by step.

What equipment is included in the auction?This online boat auction concerns the boat including the equipment present as shown. On deck she is fitted with a beige sprayhood, a stainless-steel pulpit and guardrails, and at the stern you will find a swim ladder and a lifebuoy. Also notable is the stainless-steel frame on the transom with solar panels, intended to recharge the batteries and make life on board a bit more self-sufficient. The mast is currently lowered on deck, which can make transport and an initial round of work in the harbour easier. Furthermore, the lowered mast, boom, standing rigging and sails are included, with the note that condition and operation have not been tested.

How is the interior laid out and what can you expect?Inside you will find a cabin with wooden panelling that immediately creates a warm, classic atmosphere. She has settee benches with cushions, a compact galley with a stainless-steel sink, and in the bow a separate sleeping area in the forepeak. Ship’s clocks are also present, which fits nicely with the traditional character of this steel cabin sailboat. At the same time, the interior requires a thorough tidy-up and cleaning, and possibly repair work, depending on your plans and the level of comfort you require.

Anyone looking for a cabin sailboat for sale as a project, a steel sailboat with an inboard diesel, or a compact sailboat for inland waters will find this Cabin Sailboat 860 an interesting starting point. She is offered via BoatAuction, exclusively through the online auction. Study the photos carefully and, if possible, make use of the viewing day to see her with your own eyes. That way you can best assess how much work you want to do and how much potential you see in this characterful boat.
