The Kievit 680 is a compact, classic trailerable sloop designed by Hendrik Frank van der Rest and built by Van der Rest Nautic bv. With a production run of 300 hulls starting in 1965, this vessel represents a significant chapter in European small-boat cruising history.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal cruising and trailerable sailing, appealing to owners seeking a manageable, classic design for weekend getaways or short offshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- While its 22.24 ft LOA and 3.67 ft max draft limit its offshore range, the Kievit 680's fin keel and robust construction allow for competent short offshore passages and coastal exploration.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other 1960s European trailerable sloops such as the O'Day 22 or the Pearson 22, which share similar dimensions, masthead sloop rigs, and a focus on ease of transport and coastal use.
