1964 DUTCH 1964 10M DUTCH VLET CANAL BOAT

Johanna is a rare and captivating 10-metre Dutch Vlet canal boat, built in 1964 to the timeless designs synonymous with classic Dutch shipbuilding. Imported directly from the Netherlands, she is a genuine rarity on New Zealand waters - and a truly special opportunity for the discerning buyer seeking character, craftsmanship, and cruising comfort in equal measure. Designed by Henk Tingen, her robust steel hull offers exceptional stability, shallow draft, and low air draft, making her equally at home on rivers, lakes, and sheltered coastal waters. Over the past year, Johanna has undergone an extensive, high-quality refit: the hull was professionally sandblasted and repainted, topsides and decks refreshed, new keel cooling installed, new head fitted, and varnish work renewed throughout. A new canvas cover completes the package. Below decks, four comfortable berths, an updated galley, and generous tankage provide everything needed for relaxed extended cruising. Power comes from an economical 80hp Perkins diesel with 3000 hours - a proven workhorse delivering a comfortable cruising speed of around 10 knots. With 700 litres of fuel capacity and a spacious 3-metre beam, Johanna is built for unhurried exploration. Lying in Lyttelton and priced at NZD $150,000, she represents a rare chance to own a piece of European maritime heritage.
