CRUISES ON THE �TJALK’ CLASS YACHT "DE EGELANTIER"
This beautifully restored Tjalk type yacht - a flat-bottomed boat with gaff rig and leeboards - has been stylishly fitted out with many classic features. She offers a comfortable space for business meetings and is an ultra-cosy ship for any celebration. The �Egelantier’ can accommodate 45 people on a day cruise, or 70 people at her mooring in harbour, she is first and foremost a sailing ship, with excellent sailing qualities and a gentle seakeeping character.
The history of the �Egelantier’ (The Sweet Briar) goes back a long way, to 1899 to be precise. The ship was originally built as a cargo carrier and for decades she plied the Dutch coast and lakes, rivers and canals. The �Egelantier’ was converted into a day sailer in 1996 and so began her second youth. Click on the images on the left to have a look around.
