Vollenhovense Bol 9.75 for sale

Rarely does a ship like this come onto the market with as much character, craftsmanship and sailing pleasure as this Vollenhovense Bol "Leoida". Built to the largest design by Gipon and owned by her first owner, she combines the robust appearance of a traditional round- and flat-bottomed vessel with the comfort and space needed for longer journeys.

With her hull length of 9.75 m, she is large enough for a spacious sailing area and comfortable living on board, while remaining compact enough to fit almost any marina berth. This gives her an ideal balance between freedom, practical use and cosiness.

Thanks to her tough, traditional lines, Leoida attracts attention everywhere. She is popular among connoisseurs of round- and flat-bottomed vessels, but feels equally at home with families, friends and adventurous watersports enthusiasts looking for a reliable ship with character and soul.

On board, everything is available for relaxed enjoyment, whether it's an afternoon on the water or a longer holiday trip. Running water, a 24V/220V onboard electrical system, a 1500W Victron MultiPlus battery charger/inverter, a 3-burner gas stove, oven and shore power connection make the stay comfortable and complete.

With six fixed berths, plenty of storage space and a practical sail locker in the forepeak, there is ample room for the whole family, friends or relatives.

Ease of use has also been well thought out. Anchoring or lowering the mast is easy with the anchor-mast winch and the attractive mast crutch, which also provides extra safety for children on the foredeck.

For safe sailing from early morning until late in the evening, Leoida is equipped with LED tricolor navigation lights, an anchor light, LED deck lighting and a DSC VHF radio with AIS transmitter and receiver.

The vessel has always been maintained with care and is kept dry and protected every winter in a heated winter storage hall.

In 2025-2026, the entire engine room was renewed, including stainless steel tanks and an overhaul of the Thornycroft marine diesel engine with PRM hydraulic reduction gearbox.

In recent years too, a lot of attention has been paid to refit and maintenance. Among other things, the following work has been carried out:

• Complete overhaul of the diesel engine and hydraulic gearbox (2025)
• New stainless steel diesel tanks, stainless steel water drains and cooling water intake (2025-2026)
• Overhaul of the anchor mast winch (2021)
• Hull through-hulls in the bathroom renewed (2021)
• Exterior painted with 2-component paint from De IJssel (2021-2022)
• Halyards and lines renewed (2021)
• DSC VHF radio (B&G V60), extra handheld and AIS for transmitting and receiving (2023)
• Woodwork varnished annually with three layers of Epifanes
• Mast, lee boards and rudder rebuilt in 2025 with ten layers of Epifanes varnish
• Lighting converted from halogen to LED, including navigation lights
• Good to know: the water heater and the electronic compass are currently not working

Leoida is a true family piece, built under its own management and sailed for years with love.

From the steel hull to the spars, lee boards, the rudder and the interior: everything has been built with care and craftsmanship. The deck and cabin roof feature solid teak as a characteristic detail.

The vessel also has covers for the mainsail and jib. The original sails from Den Boer Sails are in good condition.

Leoida offers atmosphere, nostalgia and fine sailing characteristics. With a heavy heart, we are now offering her for sale. We are looking for serious enthusiasts who want to sail and maintain her with the same care and let her experience new adventures.

A vessel to fall in love with, and a vessel that deserves a skipper with a love for flat-bottomed boats.
