Dehler 18 for Sale

I am selling a well-maintained Dehler 18 (Rotkäppchen) without a trailer.

Features:

• Double rudder system
• Lifting keel
• Foldable spray cabin
• Folding table
• Reefing backrests

The sporty boat is easy to sail with the self-tacking jib and is also suitable for single-handed sailors. The boat is ready to sail and is currently in the water in Berlin/Wannsee.

Specifications:

• Year of construction: 5/1994, Construction No: 570-071
• LOA: 5.50m
• LWL: 5.35m
• Beam: 2.45m
• Draft: 0.45 - 1.30m (lifting keel)
• Displacement: 750kg
• Ballast: 250kg
• Main sail: 14.0sqm
• Self-tacking jib: 5.50sqm (roller jib)
• Spinnaker: 30.0sqm
• Mast height WL: 9.70m

Equipment:

• Spinnaker pole
• Original Dehler cushions
• Sprayhood, cockpit tent
• Anchor
• Mercury F 4 HP outboard engine
• Electric motor with 60Ah battery for docking (approx. 5-10km range)
• Mast lowering device

The boat is well-maintained with signs of use, the underwater hull was painted annually with antifouling. The shrouds and forestay were renewed in 2023/24. The mainsail was cleaned and restitched in 2023 by a sailmaker. The outboard engine was serviced in 2024 at a Mercury workshop.

Viewing at Wannsee/Berlin by appointment:

The lifting keel is particularly advantageous for inland lakes. The mast can be lowered by one person using the mast lowering device (Haase company).

The legendary Dehler 18 Rotkäppchen was built in 1994. Since 2014, it has been reproduced by the Hanse Yacht Werft as the Varianta 18 (significantly downgraded). I believe the original is much better, and I enjoyed it for 20 years.
