Real Frisian
“Stânfries” stands for ‘real Frisian’ and this applies to both the sailing ship and the Skipper/Owner Sjoerd de Vries. This tjalk is kept as much as possible in the original classic style. Beautifully varnished woodwork and classic colors give this flat-bottomed vessel a graceful but sturdy appearance. When the Stânfries sails the Frisian inland waterways, you imagine yourself in the past. Also on the Wadden Sea and the IJsselmeer it is good sailing with the Stânfries.
Nostalgic
Below deck the sailing ship radiates a cozy, nostalgic atmosphere. A wood stove, a large table where you can easily sit together, the mahogany paneling and the many portholes give the whole a warm and real ship character.
Rest
This classic tjalk is particularly suitable for families, clubs, school or groups of friends to go on an adventure on the IJsselmeer or Waddenzee. The sailing tjalk Stânfries is robust, manageable and safe. Skipper Sjoerd knows the intricacies of sailing and remains calm under all circumstances. Sjoerd and his mate are always willing to share their knowledge and experience and let you discover the most beautiful places on and along the water.
