Van Rijnsoever Vollenhovense Bol "Bolle Babbe" – A Timeless Classic Full of Character
For enthusiasts of traditional Dutch sailing yachts, we are proud to present this beautiful Van Rijnsoever Vollenhovense Bol “Bolle Babbe”. Built in 2003, this remarkable vessel is one of the last Vollenhovense Bols delivered by the renowned Van Rijnsoever shipyard. With her classic lines, warm appearance and high-quality craftsmanship, she offers a unique combination of traditional Dutch boatbuilding and modern cruising comfort.
With an overall length of 8.50 metres, a beam of 3.10 metres and a shallow draft of only 0.75 metres, this Vollenhovense Bol is perfectly suited for exploring the inland waterways of the Netherlands and Belgium, the Wadden Sea, the waters of Zeeland and other shallow cruising areas. Thanks to her leeboards and flat-bottom hull, she offers excellent drying-out capabilities while retaining the distinctive sailing characteristics for which this type of vessel is so highly regarded.
On deck, her classic appearance immediately catches the eye. The combination of the black-painted hull, red superstructure and warm wooden accents creates a particularly attractive and traditional look. The wooden mast with gaff rig and dark-coloured sails further enhance the vessel’s authentic character. The sail wardrobe was renewed in 2023 and includes a new mainsail, storm jib, jib and reaching sail, allowing the new owner to enjoy carefree sailing from day one.
Below deck, the “Bolle Babbe” continues to impress with her atmosphere and craftsmanship. The interior is finished in warm mahogany wood, creating a classic and inviting ambience that perfectly complements the vessel’s character. The saloon features comfortable settees and a practical table, while the forward cabin offers sleeping accommodation for two persons. In addition, the yacht is equipped with a galley featuring a two-burner gas stove, a manual toilet, hot water and a Webasto hot-air heating system. A generous headroom of approximately 1.85 metres further enhances onboard comfort.
Propulsion is provided by a reliable and economical Volvo Penta MD2030 diesel engine producing 27 hp. Well known for its durability, this engine delivers ample power for harbour manoeuvres and comfortable cruising under power. The starting battery was renewed in 2025. Furthermore, the vessel is equipped with shore power, a battery charger, VHF radio, Raymarine speed log and depth sounder.
The “Bolle Babbe” is presented in a well-maintained condition and offers an excellent opportunity for lovers of traditional sailing craft. As with many classic vessels, there are a few areas that a future owner may wish to optimise according to personal preference, but overall she presents herself as a particularly charming and complete Vollenhovense Bol with a distinctive appearance.
If you are looking for a characterful Dutch flat-bottom sailing yacht with timeless charm, enjoyable sailing characteristics and a rich maritime heritage, then this Van Rijnsoever Vollenhovense Bol “Bolle Babbe” certainly deserves your attention.... whole text
