Living afloat

The story of the Luxe Motor MS Watergeus, the Groningse snik Hornblower and how to convert a Dutch barge into a houseboat.

MS Watergeus

The Watergeus is my home. It's an old Dutch Luxe Motor, built in 1929.

MS Hornblower

The Hornblower is my new project: an Groningse snik from 1903.

I spent most of my time in or around boats. Read what i'm doing!

MJ Escapade

In November 2010 I bought a bakdekkruiser. She was sold in 2011.

MS Frantsis

The Frantsis is a beurtschip. We (a neighbour and me) bought her in May 2010 as a small hobby project. I discontinued the project in 2011.

Conversion

The conversion of the Hornblower is a major project that will take two years time. I want to have the same quality of finish as the Watergeus. This means it will take some time and a lot of money!

She will be converted for my purposes, cruising around and using her as an accommodation vessel while working on other ships.
