Dehler Varianta 65

Year of construction: 1976

Length: 6.50 m

Width: 2.10 m

Depth: 0.70 m to 1.30 m (swing keel)

A safe and easy-to-sail small cruiser, ready to sail with all necessary equipment. In 2022, I painted the entire deck with 2K paint, renewed the forestay and upper shrouds, installed fixed spreaders, reinforced deck fittings with stainless steel plates, painted wooden parts (companionway, handrail, and tiller), installed a new switch panel with navigation lights and anchor light, depth sounder, connections and sockets for tiller pilot, and many other small improvements.

The boat is watertight from top to bottom. Jib and genoa are still in good shape without any damage. The mainsail from Beilken with single-line reefing through blocks (very strong Dacron) is still in very good condition.

The swing keel is stuck, as is the case with many Variantas, but it does not have any noticeable impact on the sailing characteristics (this topic can be found in various forums).

Trailer: Harbeck single-axle trailer, year of registration 2010, valid inspection until 07/24, new tires in 07/22, registered for 100 km/h.

Engine: Honda BF 5 long shaft, year of construction 1990, 5 HP, starts immediately and runs perfectly.

The electric motor could possibly be purchased additionally.

The boat is located at Störmthaler See near Leipzig until mid-October and can be viewed and sailed by appointment.
