The Waarschip 900 and its evolved sibling, the 900+, represent a significant chapter in the Dutch shipyard's history, bridging the gap between the purely competitive "Ton" class racers and the modern performance cruiser. Introduced in the 1980s, the 900 was designed to offer the legendary stiffness and speed of the Waarschip woodepoxy construction method but with a beamier, more voluminous hull than the earlier, narrower Quarter Tonner models. As a "Half Tonner" style design, it was conceived to handle the rigors of the North Sea while providing enough interior amenities for a family of four. The "900+" variant typically features a modified transom—often incorporating a sugarscoop swim platform—and minor refinements to the rig and deck layout to enhance the boat's cruising utility without sacrificing the hull's inherent agility.
