Sailing with the LG03

This sturdy Schokker “LG03” was designed and built in 1980 by passionate builder and designer Roelof Akkerman at the Akkerman yard in Nieuw Beerta as the Kaat Mossel. The 11-ton Akkerman Schokkers, with characteristics of the Botter, were built in Nieuw Beerta starting in 1974. Later, this yard moved to Woudbloem in Groningen.

The LG03 is 10.40 m long and 3.65 m wide and has a draft of only 0.85 m. With her “flat” bottom of 40 mm thick, she is very stable and suitable for shallower waters such as the Wadden Sea and the Frisian lakes. The low structure of the cabin and the wide side decks provide ample space to access the foredeck and to hoist the sails easily and safely. The leeward bite added in 2023 ensures a stable course and allows for sailing close to the wind.

In the surprisingly spacious cabin, you will find a 2-burner gas stove, a fully equipped kitchen, a large refrigerator, plenty of storage space, and a spacious seating area with a foldable table. This cozy spacious cabin has a standing height of 195 cm.

The Schokker has a cabin with a large double bed and an extra cot for small children. In the cabin, the 2 long benches can be converted into single beds. Thus, four adults can sleep on board, or 2 adults with 3 children. The double cot is 210 cm long and 140 cm wide; the beds in the cabin are 210 cm long.

There is a radio-CD player available, and you can charge your mobile devices via the 12-volt, USB, and 230-volt connections.
