Product detailed description

Skûtsje is a traditional Dutch sailing ship. This type of sailing ship was historically used for transporting cargo in the Friesland area of the Netherlands. Skûtsje are characterised by their flat hull, which allows them to move around shallows and lakes, which was particularly important in the area where they were used.
Originally, skutsje were used as cargo sailing ships on inland waterways, but their use changed over time. Some of these sailing boats are now maintained and used for sporting and recreational purposes. There is also a sporting event known as the 'Skûtsjesilen,' which is a skutsje race that takes place every year in the Netherlands.
