The 'Grondzee' is newly showcased at Friesland Yacht Brokerage. The skipper shares that the name is derived from the Monnickendam term for a beer glass filled with jenever, which was traditionally consumed during celebrations. It’s likely that a toast was once raised to the Marker Rondbouw 'Christina' when it was launched as a fishing vessel. The ship has since been renamed 'Grondzee', a robust flat-bottomed boat that still retains the charm of a fisherman! The current owners retrieved it from Denmark, where it had found its way after various adventures over mudflats and seas. This indicates that the vessel can certainly handle its share of water and wind. After a long journey through the Baltic Sea and the Elbe, the ship has returned to the lands of the former Zuiderzee where it all began, now moored in a museum harbor in North Holland. The boat is notably wide with a blunt bow tapering to a narrow stern, where nets were once hauled over the gunwale and emptied into the hold—still visible as part of the hull plate that has since been welded shut. This old lady is steeped in history and remains almost entirely original and well-preserved! The layout feels like being aboard a cabin yacht with necessary comforts, such as a galley to starboard, a cooler to port, and other equipment typically found on luxury yachts. Beneath the foredeck is a cozy cabin with two longitudinal berths and a separate space for the toilet along with some hanging and storage lockers. The headroom is naturally limited but somewhat higher than expected due to the hollow at the front. Additionally, the interior is simple, as one would expect on a fishing vessel. Technically, the ship is in great condition, although it could use some paint here and there. It’s evident that this vessel has been well-maintained with love from the start. Necessary updates have been made, but the old Ford Lehman marine diesel from the 1950s/60s, featuring an indestructible cast block, still resides under the hood and runs as if it was installed yesterday. Onboard equipment includes an inverter and charger, two battery sets, a bow thruster, an electric anchor windlass, and more. The 'Grondzee' may not be a fast sailor—everyone understands that—but it is an easy sailor with manageable rigging that can be set solo and trimmed well so there’s minimal pressure on the helm while sailing. It’s a maneuverable vessel that can be sailed with just one finger despite its robustness and isn’t prone to weather helm or lee helm. The rigging is relatively recent; beautiful brown Dacron sails (the mainsail is four years old), solid round timber for the mast, boom, and legs are all in good condition. The centerboards and all wooden components have also been well-maintained.
