Itinerary description
Sailing boat tour
Westlander, is a sailing barge built in Holland in 1913. This type of boat, used in the Dutch canals to transport goods like flowers, is the perfect vehicle for these waters. When there was no wind, in Holland, the boat was driven by a horse on each bank. It doesn’t have a central keel, but it does have two lateral ones, which stabilize the vessel and makes it easy to come alongside.
The vessel is 17 metres long, 3.10 metres wide, 90 square metres of sail, with a 12 metre mast and a draft of 50 cm.
It was later transformed at home and now sails with whoever loves adventures, a sailing boat that remembers pirates. The experience of moving under sail is a classic.
