Description

This Original River Barga was built in 1915 and when retired soon discovered in her scrap- yard by the present owner Mr. V.S Gilbert (Belgian), an adventurer and perhaps one of the best engineers and architects in this field. It took more or less 4 years from 1972 to 1978 to rebuild the entire hull, replace all steel plates, and add keel and anti-wobbling blades. The rig designed by Mr Gilbert matches her style and is refurbished by all means providing the most comfortable life onboard for him and his wife moreover easy to handle only 2 of them with all electric winches. Please note that she is insured 5.000.000 Euro in Holland By Schaderverzekeringen N.V Now we are looking for another adventurer to continue this Viking C saga / or even keep her as a commercial day sailor as she is The One Head-turner in every location she is anchoring.
