UK: 52ft by 10ft Dutch Barge

Description

“Door Gunst Verkregen” is a truly characterful iron Dutch barge, built circa 1905 and offering a wonderful glimpse into traditional European boat building. Crafted by a builder recorded as Wormenhuaed, this vessel showcases the timeless design and robust construction that have allowed her to stand the test of time. Measuring approximately 15.76 metres (52ft) in length with a beam of 3.15 metres (10ft) and a draught of 0.91 metres, she is well suited to inland waterways, combining heritage charm with practical cruising dimensions. Externally, she presents a classic and instantly recognisable profile, with a flat-bottomed hull and a single chime worked into the top sides, contributing to her stable and shallow-draft design. A raked stem and counter stern enhance her traditional lines, while the steel coach roof and displacement hull ensure a smooth and steady journey on the water. Finished in an eye-catching cream, maroon, and black colour scheme, and complemented by a green aft canopy, “Door Gunst Verkregen” is a boat that stands out wherever she is moored. On board, she is powered by a Bussing 85hp engine, offering dependable cruising performance. The vessel benefits from a 12v electrical system supported by two starter and two leisure batteries, while hot water is supplied via a calorifier, the Eberspacher system also provides central heating, ensuring comfort throughout the seasons and making her a viable option for extended stays or liveaboard use. Registered under BW46650, this barge represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of maritime history. Full of charm, character, and traditional integrity, “Door Gunst Verkregen” is ideally suited to those seeking a unique lifestyle on the water, whether for leisurely cruising or as a distinctive floating home. ***There is a possibility of a 6month mooring at Saltford Marina for the vessel upon completion subject to terms and conditions....
