A 1901 riveted steel Tjalk completely converted into a live aboard barge by our current owner in 1993, it was professionally done by a Dutch yard according to the owner’s specification who has followed the works trough out. Last hull paint and new magnesium anodes done in 2016.
Completely insulated with glasswool everywhere behind the hull, the quality of finish is obvious and our vendor has maintained his barge during his 25 years of ownership.
