1942 Liberty Reddingsloep 8.00, EUR 4 950

Liberty Lifeboat

Step aboard a living piece of maritime history. This isn’t just any sailing ship; it’s an original Liberty lifeboat from 1942. Expertly converted with an eye for detail into a unique and characterful sailing yacht. Built at the height of the fighting during World War II, this vessel combines the indestructible functionality of historic aluminum with the romance and freedom of sailing. This is your chance to become the owner of a sailing vessel with a priceless story. The Liberty ship sank off Terschelling in 1953; the crew reached shore safely in the lifeboat. The lifeboat was subsequently converted into a sailing sloop in Loosdrecht. In 2004, she was fitted with a new Vetus inboard motor.


The current owner is no longer able to properly maintain the ship due to health reasons, which is why it is for sale. As a result, it needs some work. The current owner’s top priority is that the ship remains seaworthy and in good condition. The price shown is an asking price; finding a new, caring owner is the most important thing.
