A beautiful nostalgic Lemsteraak that is exceptionally suitable for permanent living. Equipped with central heating and a wood stove. Fully painted in 2026. Peter Tolsma and IJsbrand Dijkstra write in the book "De mosselaak WL18 'Fasant', een echt 'Lemmerjacht' (2020): We know that in 1916/1917, two fishermen from Zeeland each ordered a new mussel aak from Gebr. De Boer in Lemmer. Both are fishermen who want to use the vessels, besides for mussel farming in Zeeland itself, primarily for catching mussel seed on the Wadden Sea to subsequently deploy them for rapid transport to their mussel plots in Zeeland. The fishermen in question are: P. Verschraegen. He orders the 'Fasant', referred to in the shipyard book as a motor aak with yard number 173, and the Gebroeders Schot. They have the motor fishing aak 'Maria Cristina' built with yard number 176. The search for the origin is extensively described in the book. It is nice to see that thanks to much research, the client and the transition of ship owners over time could be clearly established. The first name and definitive construction date of the ship have also become clear as a result. This was possible from various sources, including the shipyard book, fishery register, ship cadastre, and Kromhout register. The name was: 'Fasant' and the year of construction 1916. Sometimes this name is spelled differently as Fazant, but it is clearly stated with an "s" in the Zeeland Fishery Register. Therefore, IJsbrand and Alda restored the ship's original name FASANT in 2020, alongside its fishery number WL18. The Mussel Aak A mussel aak is a somewhat broader and fuller-bodied Lemsteraak, slightly less deep-drafted than other Lemsteraken, specifically designed for transporting mussel seed and mussels from the Zuiderzee and Wadden Sea to Zeeland. A number of Zeeland fishermen made these trips annually to be able to plant that seed back in their own plots in Zeeland. There, the mussels grew further and were harvested and traded after being watered several times. The Lemster mussel aak proved to be a fast sailor and a very manageable vessel compared to the Hengsten and Hoogaarsen which were typical Zeeland fishing vessels known as 'Lemmerjachten'. Due to the fact that there were quite a few of these ships in Bruinisse, they were also referred to as 'Bruinisser jachten'. The word jacht here is derived from its old homeland meaning of 'hunting', which meant 'fast sailing'. It is said that it saved fishermen who sailed from Zeeland to the Wadden Sea and back a full day to complete this journey. And speed was naturally important for bringing mussels to market. No wonder that many Zeelanders ordered a mussel aak from De Boer in Lemmer, Stapel in Enkhuizen, Appelo at Zwartsluis, and Van Goor in Kampen. In Zeeland itself, following these aaks, shipbuilders conceived the idea of equipping their own suitable vessels with similar sterns. Thus arose among others, the Lemmerhengst.
