After seven months of refit at Talsma shipyard (NL) “de Tukker” has set sail again! She sailed from Harlingen to the Museum harbour Willemsoord, Den Helder (NL) at the 12th of November 2022.

De Tukker will stay at the Museum Harbour Willemsoord until the entire refit job is done.. There is still some steel, wood and rigging work to be done before she’ll be able to sail cargo in the European waters again.

Below a short impression of the refit and sailing.
