The Holland Boat Company, located in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, the Netherlands, was a prominent shipyard active during the 1970s and 1980s. The company was particularly known for the production of the Dartsailer series, a range of motorsailers designed by Willem de Vries Lentsch.
Notable models produced by Holland Boat Company:
Dartsailer 27: A compact motorsailer of approximately 8.25 meters in length, suitable for both inland waters and coastal areas. This model combined sailing characteristics with motor capabilities, making it popular among sailors seeking versatility.
Dartsailer 30: With a length of approximately 9.15 meters, this model offered more space and comfort while retaining the hallmark features of the Dartsailer series. The yacht was equipped with both inside and outside steering positions and featured a characteristic S-shaped hull.
Dartsailer 38: The largest in the series, measuring approximately 11.50 meters, the Dartsailer 38 was designed for extended sea voyages and offered ample living space and comfort on board. This model was valued for her seaworthiness and solid construction.
The Dartsailer models were renowned for their robust construction, seaworthiness, and their ability to perform excellently both under sail and on the motor. They were popular among sailors seeking comfort and reliability for both short trips and long-distance voyages.
It was also possible to purchase these yachts without rigging, marketed as Dartkotters.
Although the Holland Boat Company is no longer active, the Dart models remain sought-after in the second-hand market. They are regularly available and maintain their reputation as reliable and comfortable motorsailers or motor cutters.
