Used Waarschip 870 (1/2 Ton) Sailboats for Sale

The Waarschip 870, often known by its racing designation as a 1/2 Tonner, is a distinctive sailboat that embodies the Dutch builder Waarschip Werft's commitment to sturdy, wood-based construction and genuine sailing performance. Built between 1971 and 1977, this nearly 29-foot masthead sloop emerged during a vibrant era of offshore racing, offering a blend of competitive spirit and cruising comfort. Designed by Willem Akkerman and Klaas Kremer, the 870 was conceived to provide more interior living space than its Quarter Ton sibling, the Waarschip 725, making it an appealing choice for sailors seeking a capable yacht with enhanced habitability.
