Lemsteraak Lemsteraak De Wulp Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Lemsteraak "De Wulp" represents the pinnacle of Dutch maritime heritage, a 15meter roundbilge, flatbottomed yacht originally built in 1912 by the renowned Gebr. De Boer shipyard in Lemmer. As a preeminent example of the "Roefuitvoering" (yacht version with a coachroof), it has been preserved as a "varend monument" (sailing monument) and is meticulously cataloged by the Stichting Stamboek Ronde en Platbodemjachten (SSRP). Unlike its fishingoriented ancestors, De Wulp was commissioned as a luxury sailing vessel, blending the traditional seaworthiness of a North Sea harvester with the refined aesthetics of the early 20thcentury Dutch elite. Its steel hull, characterized by a bluff bow and elegant sheer line, serves as a blueprint for the 15meter class of Lemsteraaks that continue to dominate traditional regattas today.
