Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Architecture & Interior
Kaapsea Drai is the original name given to this Dutch barge built in 1906 in Rijnsaterwoude in the Netherlands – it is considered unlucky to change the name of a boat hence it has stayed the same for over 100 years. (Kaapse Draai – literally means. “Cape turn”, and refers to a folk song of the same name that describes a flightpath around the Cape Peninsula literally as the crow flies). The boat was extended in 1943 in Rotterdam probably for the war. It was later sailed over to the UK from France to it’s current home in South Dock Marina.
Inside, the white walls and oak wooden floors provide a calm environment and numerous port holes make for a light and bright interior. The bedroom continues this aesthetic with an airy feel.
In total the boat provides 1279 sq ft/118 sq M.
