Waarschip

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Waarschip is the name of a boatyard in the Netherlands and the name for the sailing boats originally developed there . Since the closure of the original shipyard in the late 1990s, various boat building companies have been marketing or marketing their products under this brand .

Concept and story

The Waarschip shipyard was founded in 1963 by Willem J. Akkerman and Klaas T. Kremer in the Dutch village of t'Waar near Delfzijl . There they produced Kajüt - keelboats in multi- chine construction method, which they named after the headquarters, as Waarschips marketed. The business model focused on partially finished ships that were suitable for further self-construction. The hull was basically made by Waarschip. But there were also shipyards that built these under license, for example the Danish shipyard Dantec Marine .

The expansion was carried out either by the owner or the shipyard, with a choice between several degrees of completion. In the early days of the Volks-Segelei, thousands of sailors fulfilled their dream inexpensively. First the Waarschip 725 - also known as the "Quarttonner" (quarter-tonner) - later also the Waarschip 1010 made a name for itself as a fast regatta ship.

In 1991 Akkerman and Kremer sold the Waarschip shipyard to Derk Jan "Dick" Teerling, who had been in charge of the business since 1988. There were no real innovations and the self-construction became more and more uneconomical compared to the cheaper plastic constructions, so that the shipyard ceased operations in 1997 due to insolvency and was merged into a successor company in 1998. In 1999 the shipyard was taken over by Truus Nijdam and Louis Hijlkema, who joined the insolvent company in 1998. However, it came back to bankruptcy, whereupon former employees of the shipyard with Hechtschip , Waarschip Nederland and Titan-Yachts founded various successor companies that tried to continue the Waarschip tradition, so that in the period after 1998 different shipyards built boats to Waarschip Rissen.

The aforementioned companies subsequently gave up or merged. Truus Nijdam and Louis Hijlkema now operate a shipyard in Delfzijl under the old name Waarschip Werf . As a result, there are as Waarschips both electric - and the sailboats, but not from wood but of fiberglass - composite , and measuring up to 44 feet made. With the Nautisch Centrum Delfzijl , which emerged from Waarschip Nederland , which was founded in 2002 and whose owner Roelof Niezen also has rights to the “Waarschip” brand , there is now another shipyard in the same place that sells boats under this name.

The boats

The original Waarschips are kurzkielige wooden boats with Bermudarigg and almost invariably with untergebolztem ballast sword . Similar to the folk boats of their time, they were made of plywood (first mahogany , later mostly okoumè ) with clinker planking . The hull shells completed at the shipyard (without deck and interior fittings) as well as construction plans and plywood panels were sold as kits to do-it-yourselfers, who used them to construct fast, durable and light sailing boats. From the 1990s onwards, the larger models in particular, but also custom-made larger catamarans , were built entirely at the shipyard.

Models

In total, apart from individual buildings in the multihull area, there are three generations of these waar chips. In the first generation, the still very round W 600, W 725 (quarter-tonner) and W 870 (half-tonner) were built, and later the significantly more angular types W 570, W 660, W 730, W 900 (the latter mostly as "plus") followed. -Version). Finally, there was the generation of boats, which were first built in the 1980s, such as the W 1010, which is not an independent construction in the true sense of the word, since the frame models of the smaller 660 were simply pulled apart until the boat was 10.10 meters long was. In the last generation, the "light displacement" types W 36 LD and W 28 LD were also built.

From 1978 mahogany hulls were only available at an additional cost. At the same time, a coating with epoxy resin was also offered as an extra . From 1978 to 1985, instead of stainless brass , iron screws were installed in the hulls in whole or in part , which sometimes results in considerably more effort in the restoration of Waarschips from those years of construction.

The classic Waarschip sailing boats are:

Type Length in m Width in m Draft in m Weight in kg

Waarschip 1010 10.13 (10.50) Loa, 9.34 LWL 2.50 1.90 ( lifting keel : 2.10) (shallow keel : 1.50) 2000 (1600)
Waarschip 36 LD 10.75 Lüa, 9.50 LWL 3.40 1.25 to 2.00
Waarschip 1076 10.76 Lüa, 8.80 LWL 3.68 1.20 to 2,102.10
Waarschip 1220 12.65 Lüa, 10.55 LWL 3.60 1.60 to 2.20

A W 910 and a W 1020 were initially only available as demonstration versions; only after 1998 were these constructions, u. a. as Titan 910 or Titan 1020, built and sold. The W 725 is the most widely built Waarschip and therefore also the best known. A total of up to 2,000 of these quarter-tonne hulls were built.

Sailing characteristics

Among sailors, the Waarschips are ultimately also due to their characteristic hull shape and despite the comparatively small sail area as relatively fast and sometimes slender ships that are sporty to sail. The boats owe their high speed potential, especially for the time, to their low weight in relation to their size, which is mainly due to the plywood construction. The length of the built-in keel fin is also decisive for the development of its sporty sailing properties.

The almost dinghy-like , rather dimensionally stable hull and the low length-to-width ratio of the smaller Waarschips (the Waarschip 570 is about 2.3: 1) leads to a relatively large heel even at low wind speeds before a stable position is achieved becomes. Facing the resulting greediness to windward , the smaller Waarschips W 570 and W 600 with rudder attached to the transom were equipped with a relatively long rudder blade from the shipyard, which should facilitate their controllability. For the same reason, rudder blades with a NACA profile , as they were later used in the larger W 1010, were sometimes retrofitted to the W 725 . As a rule, Waarschip sailors start pulling in reefs relatively early in order to avoid inconveniently large lean angles .
