Vision Doeve Brokers

Former inland cargo ship that was completely rebuilt in the late 1960s. This was done under the architecture of the Dutch naval architect Mr. Romke de Vries. A lot of steel work has been renewed then and the current lay-out has been realized. This conversion was done with a lot of clever features, which means that the maintenance of, for example, the woodwork at the outside can be done very well. The state of maintenance is very good. The interior is also in a very good condition and because of the wide body there is a lot of volume inside. The spacious cockpit with removable windshield makes it comfortable to stay in there and with an air draft of approximately 2.30 meters, a very large sailing area is accessible. Highly recommended for someone who is looking for a very well maintained classic barge but also want to be able to make long journeys over the European waterways.
