The 'LE 7' was completely rebuilt and made its maiden voyage in 2004. The 'LE 7', which we affectionately call 'Brandende Liefde' or Burning Passion is a lemsteraak of the fishing vessel type. It was originally designed to winch nets closer towards the fishermen and to take the fish, still alive, to harbour.
Fresher than fresh. And: the faster the better. A century later sailors rediscovered these sturdy and refined ships, as elegant and as fast as any designed for racing. They are the sapphires of the sea. Rounded bows, curved bulkheads.
The Dutch lemsteraak is not just beautiful but has also superb seagoing qualities. Its sunken lower open deck provides stability in choppy weather, and is the scene for a relaxing drink. But go amidships and our sailing traditions of hospitality and friendliness make sure you have good time. NAUPAR offers a variety of lemsteraak ships, all of which are identical from a nautical point of view. Unique in the annals of Dutch shipbuilding, it means these boats are perfect for competitions. Your race could not be fairer: win or lose, it is up to you. Get the teams thinking and pulling together. Who will be the first across the finishing line?
This beautifully designed and extremely fast 'lemsteraak' was used by Dutch fishermen around 1900. The 'LE 196' was fully converted in 2000 and is especially suitable for one-day charter trips. Her perfect sailing characteristics and manoeuvrability make the 'LE 196 - Grote Jager' ideal for sailing competitions, as well as adventurous trips across the IJsselmeer.
Guests are more than welcome to step behind the helm. The spacious cockpit offers plenty of room, guaranteeing a genuine 'hands-on' sailing experience. The cockpit protects passengers against heavy winds and is the ideal place to have lunch. The 'LE196' is the ship to be for all your team building exercises and festive occasions!
