1901 60' Skonnert / Schooner / Schoner BETTY, 490.000 DKK

NEW BOW SPRIT - NEW CAULKING AT THE BOTTOM

This beautiful 60-foot schooner embodies over 100 years of history and time-worn charm. Unique for a vessel of this size, it has sailed exclusively as a private craft and has never been used for either passenger or charter operations. It is an authentic vessel for the wooden-ship enthusiast who dreams of classic sailing in a setting where function and nostalgia go hand in hand.

Externally, the ship features beautiful, classic lines and an eye-catching cabin superstructure crafted from fine mahogany.

Engineering & Technology
Beneath the deck lies an extremely reliable 130 hk 4-cylinder Iveco marine engine from the turn of the millennium. The engine ensures solid propulsion when the wind is absent.

▻ Power: The boat is equipped with both 24 VDC and 220 VAC systems.
▻ Safety: Electric bilge pumps ensure safety on board.

Rig & Sails
The boat is rigged with two wooden masts: a large mainmast (approx. 50 years old) and an older, smaller aft mast. The sails have seen some years of use but are made of heavy-duty material that remains fully robust and ready to sail:

▻ Mainsail from Elvstrøm Sails (approx. 25 years old)
▻ Gaff sail with sliders (older, but sturdy)
▻ Jib and staysail (older, but sturdy)
▻ Jager sail (older, but sturdy)

Shelter, Interior & Layout
On board, you’ll find a cozy, traditional ship’s atmosphere. The interior is dated, but it is fully functional and offers plenty of space for crew and guests. The ship is certified and spacious enough for 10 people, and the sleeping arrangements are as follows:

▻ 4 comfortable berths in the forepeak
▻ 2 berths in the saloon
▻ Galley: Equipped with an older but fully functional gas stove for hot meals at sea.

Navigation & Additional Equipment

▻ Navigation is handled by classic, older Garmin and Furuno GPS systems.
▻ Included is a charming fiberglass dinghy built in a traditional style (without an outboard motor), which complements the boat’s visual appeal and serves perfectly as a practical tender.

This is not a shiny new build, but a robust, serviceable, and incredibly charming vessel with enormous potential. Everything essential is in working order, and the vessel is ready to write the next chapter in its long history alongside a new owner who appreciates the classic schooner heritage.
