Defined by the distinct architectural vision of J.H. Illingworth, this 1967 Bieritz 11m Classic Holz-Sloop represents an authentic example of 1960s ocean-going wooden craftsmanship. With an overall length of 11 meters and a beam of 2.9 meters, this used boat balances traditional aesthetics with the structural integrity required for both competitive racing and coastal cruising.
Evidence of dedicated ownership is reflected in the extensive refit conducted between 2004 and 2005. During this period, the vessel underwent significant maintenance by professional boat builders, involving over 580 hours of labor. Key technical updates included stripping the hull, removing and inspecting the keel, replacing specific structural bolts, and renewing the keel planking and sole. These efforts ensure the vessel remains structurally sound while preserving its vintage character.
The layout includes one cabin and one bath, making it suitable for intimate sailing excursions. The long-keel design provides the stability and predictable handling characteristic of the era, while the impeccably maintained paintwork highlights the clean, classic lines of the hull.
Currently located in Germany, this yacht is offered exclusively through Michael Schmidt & Partner. VAT is included in the asking price of 38.000 EUR. Serious inquiries are encouraged for those seeking a historically significant sailing vessel that has been professionally restored for continued enjoyment on the water.
