HISWA Amsterdam Seaport Boat Show 2008

The HISWA Amsterdam Seaport Boat Show, from September 2 to 7, 2008 in the Marina Seaport IJmuiden, will offer more to visitors than ever before. A key feature of the show is the enormous diversity of a record number of over 500 exhibited boats and the comprehensive coverage of all major brands. As the first autumn boat show of the year, the exhibition will also feature dozens of (global) premiers, making the HISWA Amsterdam Seaport Boat Show the most complete in-water boat show in Europe. The events will celebrate its 25th anniversary with an exclusive, invite-only preview evening on Monday 1 September.

The "Van Speijk" has (above the waterline) the looks of a hunderd years old Marine-Barkas
which they used, at that time rowing, to drop anchors and fetch water and food.
Today she is doing 18 knots...

More about the boat in this PDF
More about Jan JC van Speijk, aka "Terror of the Bandits".

Long Island ask their clients to use the word "Miss" when they name their boat.
Cruising the Dutch canals you can see that not all the clients name their boats after their daughter....

Hi Kalmeran,

"Bonker" is indeed very impressive.
Just found a beter picture of her on the yard's website
