Lemsteraak Lemsteraak Walrus Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Lemsteraak Walrus represents a pinnacle of Dutch traditional yacht building, specifically within the "Roefuitvoering" (cabin version) of the Lemsteraak lineage. Originally derived from the fishing vessels of the Lemmer region, this model transitioned into a prestigious pleasure yacht characterized by its flat bottom, massive beam, and iconic oak leeboards. The Walrus, particularly the 12.85meter design credited to T.W. de Vries and often associated with the Stofberg & Zn shipyard, is engineered to master the shallow, tidal waters of the Wadden Sea and the choppy reaches of the IJsselmeer. Its hull is defined by a powerful, rounded bow and a graceful sheerline that provides both significant internal volume and the buoyancy necessary to handle heavy North Sea conditions.
