Belgium Steel Yacht

[jools]

I have a 31'0" steel sloop that I have owned for 6 years. It has a long keel and a stern counter. On the limited paperwork it says that the vessel is called a "Taifler" and that it was built in Anvers in 1960. The hull is carvel made up from 4 overlapping sheets of steel on each side which is only visible below the water line. The construction is all riveted. The vessel is in good order and sails well. I have never seen another one and would welcome any comments from anyone that may have any information that would help me reserch her history.

Don't know about the boat but 'Anvers' is none other than Antwerp by another (French) name.

It would help if you spoke Dutch or Flemish, I suppose as then you could search the internet in the appropriate language.

Good luck.

Hi Jools,

A quick question about your boat, does she have insulation? What type? Does it work resonably well?? Cheers.
