	We have tried to create a feeling of luxury, warmth and security on T.G. Her interior is completely bespoke, created by local craftsmen in solid iroko throughout. She has a bright red range cooker in the galley saloon and two bedroom cabins (A double and 2 singles). She has a full height domestic shower with lashings of piping hot water and full central heating. more >>	We feel its important to preserve the working history of this old girl, so we have deliberately avoided over restoring the hull - you'll see her etched trading marks, and some lumps and bumps (battle scars!) on the hull. We've kept the original oak leeboards and rig in full working order, and she has a large teak cockpit for dining al fresco or having that sundowner. more >>	Originally a working barge under sail, then converted to motor and sail probably in the 1920's/30's, TG has always had to earn her living. Nowadays, these barges are kept in Northern Holland by villages that race against each other. If you have a few minutes, please take a look at them racing in this You Tube clip. Its outrageous! I promise your stay on TG is lot more upright! more >>
