This 1898 Dutch Sailing Barge, or Tjalk, is a classic wooden sailing vessel measuring 52 feet long with a 13-foot beam. The boat has been restored and remains in active use as a liveaboard, powered by a single 62-horsepower BMC diesel engine that gives her a cruising speed of 5 knots.
Below deck, the yacht offers comfortable accommodation across three cabins and features a generous saloon and galley area. There is one head aboard. The layout prioritizes living space, with two of the cabins designed as double berths, making the boat well-suited to extended stays afloat.
The restoration work undertaken on this barge reflects its standing as a working classic. Built as a traditional sailing vessel, it retains the character and construction methods of its era while having been equipped with modern diesel power for practical cruising and liveaboard operation.
