Antifouling was also applied that year. These works contribute to a good start to the new sailing season.
the sails are in excellent condition and are virtually new. this suits the sporty character of the waarschip 725 perfectly. she can therefore be sailed efficiently and offers plenty of opportunity to actively work with sail trim and course. whether it is an afternoon on the lake, a coastal trip or a longer holiday, this classic sailboat invites you to discover her under sail.
what is the condition of the waarschip 725's teak deck?the teak deck has been completely sanded, re-oiled and re-caulked. as a result, the deck once again has a well-maintained and warm appearance. several soft spots in the deck were repaired in the summer of 2025. one softer spot remains in the cockpit and will require attention in due course. in addition, some soft spots are known to be present between the teak deck and the boat's interior ceiling. these points are important to take into account when assessing the boat and offer scope for further improvement by a handy owner.
the deck complements the boat's classic appearance and gives her an authentic nautical character. anyone who enjoys maintenance and woodworking can further refine the waarschip 725 in these areas according to their own preferences. the foundation for an atmospheric and appealing wooden sailboat is clearly present.
what engine does she have on board?wullie has an older but working inboard engine. as is usual with an engine of this age, it requires regular maintenance, inspection and attention. the engine is practical for manoeuvring in the harbour, when there is little wind and while docking. a prospective buyer would be wise to thoroughly assess its operation and maintenance history during a viewing and sea trial.
the engine therefore complements her sailing capabilities, but it is primarily her sailing characteristics that make this waarschip 725 appealing. under sail, her sporty design comes fully into its own and her crew experiences the character for which this type of sailboat is known.
how is the interior laid out?the interior is finished atmospherically in wood and complements the classic character of this wooden cabin sailboat beautifully. the cabin provides a sheltered place to relax, spend the night and remain comfortable on board during less favourable weather. the available headroom of approximately 1.50 metres is appropriate for a boat of this size.
the woodwork could use some attention in a few places. this makes her interesting for someone who enjoys gradually restoring and improving a boat. with time, care and personal choices, the interior can be given even more individual character. the warm wooden finish provides an attractive foundation for this.
who is this waarschip 725 suitable for?this waarschip 725 is suitable for an enthusiast looking for a classic, sporty sailboat with a distinctive Dutch character. she will appeal to someone who values wood, traditional lines and active sailing, but who is also not deterred by the work associated with a boat of her age. thanks to her dimensions, she is easy to handle and practical to use, while offering sufficient comfort for a relaxing stay on board during holidays.
wullie is being sold because her current owners have moved on to a larger sailboat. they are therefore looking for a new owner who appreciates her qualities and is willing to give her further attention. this waarschip 725 combines recent upgrades, an attractive teak deck, beautiful sails and an atmospheric interior with the charm of a classic wooden boat. she is therefore an inviting choice for anyone looking for a waarschip 725 for sale and wanting to begin new sailing adventures straight away.... whole text » less text
