This authentic and well maintained tugboat from 1927 still has her original appearance. All comforts are present in the basics making it a wonderful ship for vacations and weekends away. The boat was built in the Netherlands and had from construction an industrial engine which unfortunately has been removed. In its place is a reliable and heavy Cummins 270 HP diesel engine from 1983. Additional (original) propeller is included. The electricity in the boat needs attention.
The boat has changed little in terms of appearance since she was built, except the expansion with the aft cabin (bedroom). Because of this, it has remained a very nice boat with the charm of yesteryear. At the last maintenance in 2016 the ship was out of the water and the thickness of the skin was at least 5.8 mm, which indicates that the hull is in good condition. Regular maintenance - now, for example, painting is required - is essential to preserve this ship for future generations. A lot of visitors, a ship you can be proud of despite the maintenance that is inherent to a steel boat of almost 100 years!
