Worth knowing

Jachtbouw Knobbe; cover, cost and conditions

Jachtbouw Knobbe is a small Dutch yard founded in 1991. It builds to order, and each owner's wishes decide the fit-out and finish. The boats carry the name Knobbe Classic, with a number that roughly matches the length in feet. The yard's broker lists the Classic 28, 32, 35, 38 and 39, plus a 39 Cabriolet. In the broker's description, a Knobbe stands out for how quiet it is under way, for a hand-built interior finished with care, and for a hull that is agile and easy to control. Sales are handled by Doeve Brokers.

Our model records hold three designs, all listed as motorboats: the De Knobbe Classic 35 at 10.75 metres, the Classic 38 at 11.75 metres and the Classic 39 at 11.9 metres. All three start in 2019 and continue into the most recent build years, so this is current production. The smaller Classic 28 and 32 and the Cabriolet version of the 39 are not in our data. Just over 1.1 metres separates the shortest from the longest, which keeps the recorded range firmly between eleven and twelve metres. Any used Knobbe of these three types is a young boat.

With a yard that builds to order, no two boats of the same length are quite alike, so a buyer should ask for the original specification and build list. Hand-built joinery rewards good ventilation and a dry bilge; damp lockers are the first sign that something needs attention. On a boat only a few seasons old, warranty records, engine service intervals and any changes made after delivery are worth reading closely. Motor cruisers of this size spend much of their life on canals, rivers and lakes, so look at fender wear, rubbing strakes and the props for traces of locks and shallow water.
