The 'Gezina Gretha' was built in 1894 as a cabin ship named 'Vertrouwen'. It was a vessel of approximately 17 tons, commissioned by S. van der Woude from Buitenpost. It is one of the first iron skutsjes. Drawings of the sail plan of the ship, from the period when it was converted into a pleasure craft (with a cabin, around 1951), are kept in the archive of the Fries Scheepvaartmuseum in Sneek. Gezina Gretha has been owned by its current owners since 2020, who would like to pass on this heritage to the next caring hands. The spacious cockpit with beautiful solid teak benches and lids provide a lovely spot to greet the onlooking public, as you can expect... you will attract plenty of attention and thumbs up here. The cozy cabin, beautifully retrimmed in mahogany, offers a bit more comfort than before. A generous galley, comfortable seating area, and spacious toilet are all present. In the forepeak, there is room for four bunks, two forward in the bow, and the other two at the mast level. The headroom is fairly decent, ranging from 185cm to 165cm in the cabin. In the forepeak, it's more of a stoop, measuring around 130-110cm. Maintenance history: In 2010, the hull was renewed at the Talsma shipyard in Heeg. In 2011, the ship was retrimmed with beautiful mahogany by Mulder in Wergea, and at that time, the teak deck (saddle roof) was replaced with a new deck. In 2013, the mainsail was renewed. In 2022, a bow thruster was installed, the hull was coated with antifouling, and anodes were replaced. In 2023, the mast was replaced with a steel mast at Stallinga Scheepswerf in Leiden.
