The Waarschip 870 represents a pivotal chapter in the evolution of the Dutch "self-build" legacy, bridging the gap between the aggressive racing spirit of the Quarter Tonners and the requirements of a dedicated family cruiser. Introduced as a more voluminous successor to the smaller 700-series, the 870 utilizes the shipyard’s hallmark multi-chine, lapstrake construction, which confers both structural rigidity and a distinctive aesthetic. Built primarily from high-grade marine plywood (often Okoumé) and encapsulated in epoxy, the 870 was designed to be a "Half Tonner" for the cruising family, offering a balance of 8.70 meters (approximately 28.5 feet) in length and a generous 3.00-meter beam that was significantly wider than its predecessors.
