What is the maximum draft you are looking for? We used to own an 'Offshore 8m' which was built in the UK (moulded by Tylers), but was actually a Van de Stadt design, so I would expect there to be plenty of models in the Netherlands. It had a 1.4m draft - long fin keel - and I would think ideal for what you wanted: Offshore Yachts Offshore 8 metre Information

We lived in the Netherlands (well Limburg!) for 4 years and apart from the 2 hour drive to get to the sea, thought it was a wonderful country.

Limburg is indeed a nice province,
but a long drive from the sea,
Id like to go to the northern estuary the wadden islands, and the german islands.. maybe even venture out to the uk's east coast.

but for the Dutch islands a very shallow draft in mandatory..

well....
never heard from the owner again...
so... search continues....
☹

and we continue...

I came accross a possible eboat f/s in the UK,
berthed in Burnham on Sea Somerset
as I have no idea how retrive the boat (if bought) brexit something-something.. trip to Holland etc..

Id like someone to go over it to give me an idea of the state of the boat,
its pretty complete, w/ trailer etc..

anyone has any tips who to ask?
