The boeier "Valk" (1885) is a well-known historic Dutch flat-bottomed yacht, typical of Frisian and Dutch waters from the late 19th century. Boeiers were multi-functional vessels used for both fishing and recreational sailing, and the "Valk" is one of the finest examples.
Type: Flat-bottomed yacht with a round bilge hull, ideal for shallow waters such as lakes, rivers and the Wadden Sea.
Length: Often between 10 and 15 metres, depending on the specific vessel.
Rigging: Traditionally equipped with a mainsail, jib and sometimes a staysail, making them very seaworthy and fast.
Use: Originally often as a fishing vessel, later increasingly as a recreational and racing yacht.
Year of construction: 1885
Builder: Probably built in Friesland or the surrounding area, where many boeiers were constructed.
Length: Approximately 11 to 13 metres.
History: The "Valk" has often participated in sailing races and is known for its good sailing characteristics and beautiful lines.
Materials: Oak wood for the hull, with attention to strength and durability.
The "Valk" symbolises the rich tradition of Dutch flat-bottomed yachts.
Boeiers such as the "Valk" are valued for their sailing performance and the heritage they represent.
Many boeiers from this period are included in the Register of Round and Flat-bottomed Yachts (SSRP), an organisation that documents and protects historic vessels.
