Description
Hoop Op Welvaart is a 1907 Dutch Tjalk completely renovated to an extremely high standard over the last 8 years living aboard. No expense spared and was to be our forever home but ever growing family has reluctantly forced the sale.
Sailed over to the UK in the late 80's this Tjalk has lived an interesting life and was once a working Sailing Barge delivering various goods around the coast of Holland. Tonnage book and some old documents are still with her.
Self sufficient with wind turbine, 1Kw solar PV and thermal water, 9Kw Burner with back boiler to thermal store.
Perfect size fits on the Grand Union and Kennet & Avon Canals and all the way up to Lechlade on the Thames for some epic Adventures but still a lovely large home to settle down in!
2 double bedrooms, 4 berth with a den under front deck which will sleep 2 young children or act as great extra storage
Lined with white painted ply and Black Walnut trim with Oak and Black Walnut Doors, fitted furniture and details.
Engineered Oak flooring throughout.
Riveted Iron construction with part steel cabin when it was extended and raised giving better head room. Internally the hull has been checked, cleaned and painted as part of the full renovation. Loads of photos of the project can be supplied to the buyer for the boats history.
