Aluminium sloop for relaxed cruising
The boats-nl.com LE 500 is a compact and eye-catching aluminium boat from 2022 that invites you to head straight out onto the water. She is built with a V-bottom, allowing the boat to cut smoothly through the water and cruise calmly on a wide range of inland waterways. Think canals and ditches, but also lakes, ponds and rivers. Thanks to her size of approx. 5.00 metres long and 1.20 metres wide, the LE 500 is also easy to handle—especially if you like mooring in places where space is limited. This boat has served as a harbour boat and is known as a real eye-catcher: a presence you won’t easily miss at the dock.
The hull is made of aluminium. This material suits anyone looking for an aluminium sloop or aluminium tender with a practical approach and a modern look. With a draft of about 0.30 metres, she remains accessible for shallower stretches and calm cruising routes. Steering is via a wheel with an externally positioned helm, providing an open and direct boating feel. Everything is clear and geared towards relaxed cruising, whether you’re taking a loop through the city or planning an afternoon on the lake.
