Lemsteraak Lemsteraak Gouden Leeuw Buyer's Guide
The Lemsteraak Gouden Leeuw is a 14-meter Dutch flat-bottom yacht with the registry mark VA133, commissioned by B.C.M. Douqué of Amsterdam and remaining with that owner until 2016, later noted at Dragør, Denmark in 2018. Buyers entering the used market for a Lemsteraak of this size are looking at a one-off commission rather than a production run, and the available history is unusually clean.
Layouts on the Used Market
Lemsteraken were traditionally built in two layouts: the Roefaak with a raised cabin trunk for cruising, and the Visserman with a deep open cockpit recalling working boats. The Gouden Leeuw's specific layout is not detailed in the available record, so a buyer should confirm at viewing whether the hull carries the trunk-cabin or open-cockpit arrangement.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Used Lemsteraak Gouden Leeuw hulls commonly carry heating, an inverter, hot water, a bow thruster, electric winches, a freezer, teak decks, and a chartplotter, with spinnaker and asymmetric spinnaker options, plus swim platform. For a buyer, the bow thruster and electric winches reduce handling effort on a 14-meter steel hull, while heating and hot water define liveaboard comfort through Dutch seasons. Teak decks and a swim platform are cosmetic and leisure upgrades rather than systems risks.
What to Inspect
The available record for the Gouden Leeuw provides no structural defect or failure data on this hull. A buyer should still apply standard Lemsteraak checks: examine steel hull welds and any riveted transitions for corrosion, verify the 1995 build at the 2018 Danish registration point, and confirm the chainplate and deck penetration sealants given the teak deck common fitment.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These Lemsteraken are typically found in the Netherlands. Before committing, a buyer should:
- Confirm the layout is Roefaak or Visserman
- Verify hull welds and corrosion points
- Test bow thruster and electric winches
- Check teak deck sealing at penetrations
- Confirm registry VA133 matches paperwork
