Friese Barkmeijer Tjalk

A ship that can only be sailed because a hydraulic package connected to the engine ensures that the bow thruster, mast lowering system, anchor winch, rigging winch, centerboards, and mainsheet winch operate at the push of a button. A beautifully renovated tjalk suitable for unlimited sailing areas. Also where there are fixed bridges and the clearance is high enough for a ship with a lowered mast. A French adventure is also among the possibilities.

The underwater hull was taken out of the water in 2021 in Woudsend at De Welle for, among other things, a paint job and inspection of the underwater hull. Invoice of €25,000 available for inspection. The complete ship, including the superstructure, gangways, freeboard, and underwater hull, was painted in 2022. Also new anti-fouling in 2022. Invoices available.

Measurement of the hull in 2018. No duplications!! Hull report is available.

In the winter season of 2017/2018, the ship was renovated by SRF, during which the following was done:

-the entrance was moved
-new windows
-new doors
-new kitchen
-boiler connected to the engine
-new stove and refrigerator
-new electric toilet and shower
-new Eberspächer heater and heating
-new floor
-the hull was oiled at the height of the cabin
-bilge pump installed in the engine room and cabin

In 2015, all skin penetrations were renewed, all penetrations except the toilet were made above water. Manholes were made in the water tanks and these were cleaned.

Because the ship is equipped with a hydraulic system, it is an easy-to-sail ship and can sail with a small crew. Despite these modifications, it is a good sailor and sails well into the wind. The ship is equipped with a steering wheel that steers well in high waves at sea. There is a choice setting on the hydraulic steering system that allows you to disable the backlash valve while sailing.

The bear at the back of the ship was made by Doef Schinkel, a sculptor in Kampen.

 

The hull is in good condition. The rigging is as good as new.
