Worth knowing
MMS Jachtbouw; cover, cost and conditions
MMS Jachtbouw is a yard from Groningen in the north of the Netherlands that built motor cruisers in steel. Boats in several lengths are known under the MMS Kruiser name, among them a 1185 at 11.85 metres, a version of around twelve metres and a 1485 at 14.85 metres. They follow the pattern of the Dutch steel cruiser made for rivers, canals and lakes. On an MMS Kruiser 1185 built in 1994, the hull is five millimetre steel, the superstructure four millimetres, and the interior is finished in mahogany. An MMS Kruiser is easy to recognise by its layout with wheelhouse, forward and aft cabins, by the bathing platform with stainless rails at the stern and by an air draught of around 2.6 metres that keeps many fixed inland bridges within reach.
Our model records list one design from MMS Jachtbouw: the MMS Kruiser motor yacht, 11.85 metres long and built from 1992 to 2001. Length and build years match the Kruiser 1185, of which an example from 1994 is documented. Other lengths from the yard are not listed separately, and no series reaches the most recent build years. The figures of that boat give a picture: a beam of 3.85 metres, a draught of 1.10 metres, a 105 hp DAF diesel for seven to eight knots, a bow thruster and hydraulic steering at two helm positions. The youngest boats in the records are now a quarter of a century old.
Steel boats reward an owner who watches for rust. The waterline, the bilges under the engine, the areas beneath deck fittings and the joins between hull and wheelhouse are where corrosion starts. A survey with ultrasonic thickness readings shows whether the original five millimetre plating is still close to spec. Anodes need replacing regularly, especially in fresh water marinas with shore power. The DAF diesel is a simple, durable engine, but its cooling system, exhaust and mounts should be checked. Hydraulic steering at two stations wants clean oil and tight hoses, and the bow thruster battery and wiring are worth a look on any used example.
