The Enkhuizensloep has been owned by the current owner for the past six years and has been used for day trips and leisure cruising. She is being sold due to limited use. This makes her interesting for anyone who wants to be able to head out spontaneously again this summer, without first having to make a whole logistical plan. Thanks to the included road trailer with registration, she is also easy to transport and launch at different locations.
What makes this Enkhuizensloep 500 so enjoyable to handle?
This Enkhuizensloep 500 cruises lightly and relaxed, partly thanks to her tiller steering. The steering position is outside, which provides a direct feel with the water while keeping the layout compact. Precisely because there is no steering console taking up space, there is surprisingly plenty of seating and living space left in the cockpit. This makes her suitable as a family sloop, but also as a comfortable sloop for two people who like to sit spaciously.
How is she powered and what can you expect?
The boat is equipped with a Vetus inboard diesel engine of 11 hp, with electric start and two cylinders. The engine is operational and suits the character of this type of polyester sloop well: calm, economical and intended for relaxed cruising. The stated number of running hours is 1421. There is one battery on board. For those searching for “sloop with diesel engineâ€, “Vetus inboard†or “Enkhuizensloep 500â€, this is a combination that is often appreciated for its ease of use and smooth running when touring on inland waters.
What is the condition of the boat and what are the points of attention?
According to the information provided, the boat is in reasonable condition and was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2026. The last antifouling treatment was carried out in 2024. No osmosis or signs of osmosis have been reported, which is an important point for many buyers of a polyester sloop. A known point of attention is the teak deck: the teak on the foredeck and inner deck is almost due for replacement. This is something to take into account in your plans and budget, but it does not change the fact that she offers a good base for those who enjoy boating and want to improve her step by step.
What equipment is included and what about the trailer?
This auction concerns a sloop including trailer. On deck she is fitted with a sprayhood and teak deck. In addition, there is a radio on board, which can make the atmosphere during a summer evening cruise even more enjoyable. The included trailer is a Kalf road trailer with registration from 2018, with winch. The trailer is described as like new and is intended to complete the whole package: collect, transport, launch and then store neatly afterwards. For buyers searching for “sloop with trailerâ€, “Enkhuizensloep on road trailer†or “boat trailer with registrationâ€, this is a practical advantage that gives you a lot of flexibility.
This Enkhuizensloep 500 is therefore an inviting choice for anyone looking for a compact, spacious and pleasant-handling sloop for inland waters, with a diesel inboard and the convenience of a complete set including trailer. She invites carefree day trips, a loop through the city canals or a quiet cruise across the lake—exactly when it suits you.
