What design is this "Traditional Dutch Boat" ?

"Unfinished project. Dutch design steel hull 10m long, beam 3.5 m, draft 1.2 m. Displacement 8.5 tones. Fitted out but not in good condition. Needs completion. Never been launched."

Anybody have any idea what design this is? Thanks.

 

I am wondering if she might be a type of tjalk?
Here is a link to an old BDF thread about tjalks.
Tjalk - Sailing Dutch barge https://www.boatdesign.net/threads/tjalk-sailing-dutch-barge.57055/

 

Thanks, interesting thread.

I chatted with the daughter, she said "My dad designed and built the boat based on traditional canal boat designs. We do have some basic plans." I don't think that 'canal' boats is correct, it looks more like a deeper round hull, full keel version, inspired by Dutch boats (which I know very well from 40 years ago), but adopted for Australian conditions. So this is going to be interesting...

 

Indeed, this doesn't really look like a canal boat. It reminds me more on a "Waalschokker", a type of historical dutch fishing boats.

In Leeuwarden in the north of the Netherlands there is a historical "Waalschokker" with the name "Wuta", I immediately must thought at "Wuta" when I saw your post.

 

Mate, that is in fact really helpful info, thanks!

 

Actually, as far as I know, Waalschokkers were inland fishing boats. In this sense one could argue that they were canal boats in a very broad sense, but I think it's clear that it's not a typical canal boat.

Edit:
I've just learned something new. The Waalschokker is a specific type of the boattype Schokker. The Schokker also has been used for fishing on the Norh Sea. Maybe we should forget what I've said about the inland thing, as the Waalschokker was (I guess) a normal Schokker but on the river Waal.

But, you can assume that your boat is based on the (Waal-)Schokker.

 

looks great, amazed that it shows no rust, are seams joggled, I dunno, but the boat is very fair, what is your location
