Koopmans 1050 : Sailing yacht "Banjaard" – a unique vessel with a special story
Kustvaarder IV
With a warm heart we offer our beloved sailing yacht Banjaard for sale – a vessel that has brought us wonderful adventures and unforgettable memories for decades.
The construction of Banjaard began as a hull in 1977 at the renowned shipyard Kuijper in Schoorldam. In 1980 she was delivered, beautifully finished with a full teak interior and exterior. This exceptional interior was skillfully carried out by Rinus Leijnse from Oude Niedorp. His work on the Banjaard attracted so much admiration that he subsequently received commissions from Victoire to finish their vessels. Fine proof of the quality and appeal of this yacht!
We are the proud first owners and have the Banjaard always maintained with great love and care. She has proven herself time and again to be a reliable, comfortable and seaworthy vessel. Together we have made adventurous trips to, among others, Norderney, Helgoland and the Danish coast. We also sailed to the English Isle of Wight, crossed the Needles towards Guernsey and Alderney, and visited the French ports of Honfleur and Cherbourg.
Of course, we also fully enjoyed the beauty close to home: the Wadden Islands, the IJsselmeer and the Frisian coast – the Banjaard feels at home everywhere.
Now it is time to hand over the helm to a new owner. Someone who gets just as much love and enjoyment out of sailing as we do. The Banjaard is more than a boat – she is a companion full of character, history and possibilities. Classic Class with Modern Comfort from the first owner who commissioned the build!!
Step aboard this stunning Koopmans 1050 and experience the perfect marriage between timeless elegance and contemporary reliability. This is no ordinary sailing yacht – this is a lovingly maintained classic, built for the true sailor with an eye for style, comfort and seaworthiness.
Authentic craftsmanship in every detail. Look at the finish of the cockpit edge, the winches in stainless steel style, the winches have even been overhauled, beautifully painted, no rust, stainless steel rubbing strips, super heavy Volvo Penta clean and strong and reliable.

The beautiful classic layout radiates calm and class and, with surprisingly large spaces both in the salon as well as the toilet and comfortable sleeping quarters. The generous beds offer space and rest, even during longer voyages.
The winches have been completely overhauled, the hull has recently been professionally painted, and during the sale the yacht will also be given a new layer of antifouling – ready for a carefree sailing season. Everything exudes solidity and dedication.
