Dutch Barge long distance cruisers

[daveinthekeys]

I have been following this forum since it began. i have been in search of [ for most of my life] a comfortable and stylish home on the water. having retired from the Navy i am no longer interested in long open ocean travel. but want a nice coastal cruiser like the Roi Soleil but shorter its just me and my wife. are there any plans like her? love the dutch barges but she is more my style. having allot of experiance in welding and manufacture. i want to build this in the states.

Very interesting and entertaining thread and yes they are beauties.....I'm surprised that there was never a suggestion of simply adding a flat hull below the frame, with a bit of dead rise ahead and beyond the tounge and a rounded deck astern of a good used Fleetwood!
