Built between 1969 and 1978 by the Dutch shipyard Jachtwerf Starreveld in Lemmer, the Aldebaran 8.15 is a classic GRP (glassreinforced plastic) cruiser designed by Hans Starreveld. Notable for its "overnaads" or lapstrake hull styling, the boat was intended to blend traditional aesthetic appeal with the modern benefits of fiberglass construction. During its nearly decadelong production run, approximately 104 units were produced. A unique characteristic of the Aldebaran 8.15 is the degree of customization offered by the builder; while the hull remained consistent, many units were delivered as "cascos" (empty hulls) or finished to specific owner requirements, meaning that few examples on the secondary market share identical interior configurations. The model remains a recognizable fixture in Dutch waters and is documented by the dedicated owner community at Aldebaran815.nl.
