Barge Plans

[DBA Forum (B) - DeWayne Young]

Are there any plans for designing a Dutch Barge available?

[DBA Forum (B) - Colin Stone]

Yes - certainly in Amsterdam Maritime Museum and probably Rotterdam Maritime Museum.

Are you thinking the whole thing starting from building the hull or fitting out a bare hull?

I am going to use EuroShip to make a kit for me as they seem to be a very good option and are very helpful..I am looking for ideas, layout options etc for apx 24Mtr Barge

Alternatively you could buy an authentic Dutch Barge and turn your back on a replica.   That might give you the same troubles as the rest of us -  but that depends on whether you have any feeling for the originals or whether you just want a steel cruiser.   From your query re plans I assume that you are on the boatbuilder side of 'Dutch Barges' and I am simply pointing out that there are other and traditional alternatives - and that they will retain their value, whereas your plan will not.  .  .

The Euroship 2400 on their web site looks a good design - perhaps start from there, then consider what you want to do with the boat and how that design fits your needs. Also consider why 24m; smaller is  generally easier and cheaper to run.

Yes, the plans of Boot Bros of Liederdorp, one of the best builders in Holland can be seen in the museum in Amsterdam

Try this place, I visited it while we were looking for our barge and was most impressed with both the yard and the owner. They build new barges with better lines than the other manufacturers and they also renovate old barges to a very high standard.

If you plan to live aboard go for 24 mtrs. Handling and mooring are not a problem, also if you can afford it have hydraulic spud poles fitted fore and aft.

Good luck with it,

I wonder. My crystal ball has macular degeneration, bu, as one whio one dabbled in vintage cars I know that the old Railton and Brough I once owned are now worth more than a new Lamborghini.
The old tjalks and luxies are antiques qith appropriate romantic enjoyment.
Replicas are the Ford Prefects of the barge world.

There are some nice new builds in my eyes,

And also nice 'rebuilds'

This is what I'm most probably going to do with my 26,4m barge:

It might provide a 'fresh' idea.

Old boats to convert in the 30m+ size are generally cheap, so you might find it interesting looking at them, some are still in excellent condition after 100 years, they won't fail on you now :)

Partial build, always interesting (38m!):
