What is that triangular shaped board with rounded corners that is strapped to the side of the boat. I have seen that on other boats and wonder about it. Looks kinda like a centerboard, but seems too small for the size of boat? JIM
These are retractable swords and serve a similar function as a keel sword under a modern sailing boat, that's avoiding the boat to drift sideways under wind force and in this way getting more forward momentum when sailing with side winds. Most of these vessels started life as sailing canal cargo ships and engines have only be added later in life. As you can see some still have a mast but in folded down position, having swords retracted enabled navigating very shallow waters and the mast lowered the vessels were able to cross under bridges which couldn't be opened, originally they would be towed by men when not under sail. When sailing the sword on the lee side is lowered in the water so it means when sailing against the wind in a zig-zag motion (tacking) one man is constantly hoisting a sword up and lowering the other when direction changes, a very physical job.
Nice video! This place looks like het dorpje where Dik Trom was living, it brings back memories when i was a young boy ! Greetings from Powell River BC Canada.
Thanks. Dutch: Bedankt voor de reactie. Leuk dat je die ervaring hebt. Ik weet niet waar de serie en film Dik Trom is opgenomen maar de tv serie Bartje is wel deels in deze regio opgenomen.
I owned a Dunkirk Little Ship called Lazy Days built in 1930, I kept her in Holland for the last tree years I owned her, overwintering in Yerseke in the South. While moored in Gouda enjoying the cheese market I was invited to joins A Dutch Old Boats Society gathering in another basin, Had a bit of a problem getting passed a bridge as the my boats name was not on the list, after a few minutes waved through. Lots of willing hands helped me moor in a prime spot and was made most welcome, books were brought out, my fathers WWII medals put on display along with his Dunkirk medal. We joined them in a visit aboard the Royal Yacht, had a cook out and a good few beers, They explained that many boats were sunk in narrow creeks and lakes etc. to stop the Germans taking them, after the war raised, repaired and put back in use. A lot of the time I sailed solo and never had a problem mooring, locals would stop what they were doing and offer help, I got my mooring off to an art by then but it was a great way to break the ice as it were. I miss the old girl now, but wooden boats cost the earth to maintain and I only had a tiny slice of it. I do keep my hand in helping others crewing there's. Thanks for the video and it's great to see all those old barges. Did attend Sail Amsterdam one year aboard MV Chico, another adventure.
I enjoyed it without translation and without comprehension or understanding of any words (there didn't seem to be much of any dialog / which helped) *the phonics/ sound a-like words can be either the same word or shifted in meaning to something quite different, but still fun to see and experience.
