Kievit 680 polyester sailboat from 1972
An atmospheric sailboat for relaxing hours on the water
This 1972 Kievit 680 is a charming polyester sailboat with a practical layout and an inviting appearance. With a length of 6.80 metres and a beam of 2.30 metres, she offers a pleasant combination of manageability, comfort and space. The boat is suitable for relaxed day trips, enjoyable weekends on board and pleasant holidays on inland waters, lakes, ponds and rivers.


Thanks to her classic lines and round-bilged hull shape, the Kievit 680 has a recognisable and characterful silhouette. She was built for sailors who enjoy taking things at a leisurely pace and appreciate the atmosphere of a genuine cabin sailboat. The boat is steered from the cockpit using a tiller. This provides direct contact with the rudder and a traditional sailing experience.


The boat has a draught of 1.50 metres. This makes her well suited to larger ponds, lakes and rivers where sufficient water is available beneath the keel. The specified air draft is 9.50 metres. Her weight is approximately 1,900 kilograms, contributing to a stable position on the water.


Is the Kievit 680 suitable for weekends?
Yes, this Kievit 680 is arranged for relaxed weekends on board. She has two fixed berths and space for two additional berths. This means the boat can be used by a couple or a small family who enjoy spending several days on the water.


Inside, she has 1.85 metres of headroom, giving the cabin a comfortable feel for a boat of this size. The accommodation includes mattresses and a cooking appliance, allowing simple meals to be prepared on board. A manual toilet is available for sanitary needs. The toilet discharge flows directly into the open water. Future owners should ensure that this use complies with local regulations and the waterways where they intend to sail the boat.


The layout is practical and clearly arranged. It provides shelter when the weather changes and makes it possible to end longer days on the water comfortably. As a weekend boat, the Kievit 680 is an attractive option for anyone looking for a compact cabin sailboat with sleeping space, basic facilities and a classic sailing experience.


How does this polyester sailboat perform under sail?
The Kievit 680 has one aluminium mast and a sail plan consisting of a jib and mainsail. The sails are in reasonable condition and provide a good basis for enjoying relaxed trips. The combination of a mainsail and jib makes it possible to sail different points of sail and actively trim the boat when the wind requires it.


Her external tiller steering gives the skipper a direct feel when manoeuvring. The single-rudder configuration suits the traditional character of this Kievit. She is interesting for beginning sailors who want to gain experience with an easy-to-manage cabin sailboat, as well as for enthusiasts of classic Dutch recreational sailing.


Her sailing characteristics depend on the wind, load, sailing area and the personal tuning of the rigging. A viewing and sea trial can help you experience for yourself how she responds under sail and under power, if an engine is present. No engine specifications have been provided in the available information.


What equipment is included with the boat?
This Kievit 680 comes with fenders and lines. One anchor is also included and is secured with a line. There is no anchor winch. A dinghy and trailer are not included in the offer.


The equipment on board provides a practical basis for sailing and mooring. For longer trips, a buyer can supplement it according to their own wishes with, for example, additional navigation equipment, safety equipment, extra mooring lines or more storage space. The boat is therefore suitable for someone who wants to adapt her gradually to their own sailing needs.


What is known about her technical condition?
The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. The antifouling treatment was also carried out that year. According to the information provided, there are no signs of osmosis. Her overall condition has been described as good. No specific known defects have been reported by the client.

The viewing day gives potential buyers the opportunity to assess the Kievit 680 up close and form an accurate impression of her current condition.
