Lemsteraak Lemsteraak LE 111 Visserman Uitvoering Sailboats for Sale

The traditional Dutch flatbottomed sailing fleet occupies a sacred space in Northern European maritime heritage, where centuriesold design principles are preserved with fierce devotion. Yet, occasionally, a vessel emerges that radically bridges the divide between historical reverence and modern naval architecture. The Lemsteraak LE 111, built under the name Alderaast (meaning "furiously fast" in Frisian), is a striking masterclass in this synthesis. Commissioned as a highly refined "Visserman" (fishermanstyle) variant of the iconic Lemsteraak design, the LE 111 was conceived to perform at the highest levels of competitive flatbottom racing while enabling its owner to sail effortlessly shorthanded well into retirement. Conceived by project coordinator Chris Beuker and designed by naval architect Martijn van Schaik—then working under the prestigious banner of Hoek Design—this 12.85meter steelhulled marvel represents a pinnacle of technical refinement, blending classical aesthetics with hybrid propulsion, advanced computational fluid dynamics, and automated sail handling.
