Algra Sloepservice offers antifouling, boat painting, gelcoat repair, polishing and teak deck care for sloops in fibreglass, steel and aluminium. In our own yard in Ruigahuizen, personal and backed by technical knowledge.
The yard opens on 1 February 2027. You can request a quote for spring now, so your boat is ready in time for the season.
Maintenance often gets put off until the antifouling flakes, the gelcoat turns dull or there's a nasty scratch in the hull. Then you want someone who simply fixes it properly.
At Algra Sloepservice you know in advance what will be done and what it costs. You have one point of contact, you hear how things are going, and your boat is ready for the water on time.
Your boat is kept dry and indoors in Ruigahuizen, where we can do the work carefully and in the right conditions.

One fibreglass sloop, restored from start to finish. The boat arrived with holes and cracks in the hull and a weathered interior. The damage was repaired, the interior sanded, repaired and repainted. The hull was primed and finished in high-gloss blue. Below you can see how the boat arrived, how the work went and how it went back on the water.
A steel sloop converted into a quiet electric boat. We installed an electric motor, fitted the propeller shaft, placed the battery packs, built the timber interior and did the paintwork. From design to first trip.
