Going for a sail with Tom Cunliffe.

...One must ask, how many Bavaria/Jeuneau/Beneteau AWB's will be still sailing at 108 years old?

Probably most of ‘em, judging by the amount of 40 year old JenBenBavs still happily sailing around.

One may also ask how many 108 year old boats are sailing today?

126 yrs old, built for moving aggregates and dredging spoil for making Dutch dykes and sea defences, she's a tough old working craft and still in comission. She's relatively small and handy at 52' LOD.
Dry-docked until next springs, for shaft bush repairs.

Thames barge approach to draft - not surprising. What are they called - lee boards?
Lovely.
You’d get pride of place in somewhere like Honfleur so people could take pictures where I get hidden at the back!!

Very typical Dutch curved gaff.

Nice looking boat.
