The Bonte Walvis is a premier example of the Lemsteraak, a vessel class widely regarded as the "Queen" of Dutch traditional sailing craft. Originally derived from 19th-century fishing boats from the town of Lemmer, the modern Lemsteraak—particularly the Roefaak (cabin) version like the Bonte Walvis—has evolved into a luxury yacht that combines historical aesthetics with modern performance engineering. Built in 1987 by the prestigious Jachtwerf Stofberg & Zn in Leimuiden, the Bonte Walvis (Plaquette number 1559) was finished under the supervision of Chris Gongriep, the founder of Holland Jachtbouw, ensuring a level of craftsmanship that remains a benchmark for the class. Measuring 13.20 meters with a substantial beam and a classic flat-bottom hull, the vessel is a "Varend Monument" (Sailing Monument) that exemplifies the transition from working craft to high-end recreational cruiser.
