Fully restored motor sailer with excellent sailing and navigation comfortSail-motor-living ship Horsburgh. Year of construction (according to the previous owner) 1978. Registration number stamped against the back wall of the cockpit: 17109Z ROT. The ship is currently no longer officially registered, but these stamped letters and numbers are unique and cannot be removed. This number can be used for insurance purposes. Dimensions: 11x3.5x1.5 meters. Air draft 13.5 meters. Weight approx. 10 tons. Horsburgh is a famous lighthouse near Singapore. Every sailor has sailed past it at some point. Photo engraving. History: Horsburgh is a Gouwzee 3A. I have only been able to trace 2 ships of this type. The design is by Pieter Beeldsnijder from Edam, hence the designation Gouwzee. PB has long since passed away, but many (sea) ships of his design are still sailing around the world. Unfortunately, PB's workshop burned down, resulting in the loss of all drawings. Nothing could be found on board, and thus nothing could be traced through the design office either. The ship is a precursor to the frequently built Gouwzee Snoopy (a type Gouwzee 4 ship, which only differs in detail from the 3A, is 1 meter longer and operates charters from Lemmer). Photos of a type 4 ship have been used as a basis for further restoration. The ship itself was built by Petersen shipbuilding from Harderwijk. Unfortunately, this company is also no longer in existence. The ship was purchased without drawings, and during the renovation, details were discovered via the internet, and the Gouwzee 4 was also used. There were some things that were "crooked". The goal from the beginning was to restore as much as possible of PB's original idea, for which various wooden parts found on board were reused. Based on an electrical diagram of a similar ship, the entire electrical equipment has been restored. General: The ship is built of steel, 5 and 4 mm. All steel has been stripped, after which an International paint scheme has been applied; 3 layers of primer, 2 or 3 layers of finish. The ship is blue, with a light gray stripe, the deck is painted in the same gray color. All paint is available on board. The deckhouse is white. However, the roof of the deckhouse is gray again. A completely new blue tent has been installed. The aft cabin contains two spacious single berths with a standing height of 1.75 meters. There is also some storage space here. Under the berths, there is plenty of room to store equipment. The aft cabin is actually intended as a skipper's cabin. During charters, the skipper and his colleague would sleep here alternately, in a watch system. The charterer slept either in the bow berths (2 pieces) or on the dinette, where a double berth can be made. Under the bow berths is a new bow thruster brand Vetus. With the engine and the bow thruster, the ship can even be easily operated solo. The ship is a two-master, kit rigged. The sails consist of 1x mainsail and 1x mizzen sail. A roller genoa, roller jib, and a storm jib complement the main sails. With the autopilot, the ship is easy to keep in the wind, allowing the sails to be raised and lowered by a single crew member. The ship is therefore also very good for solo sailing. Furthermore, the ship is extremely livable, equipped with a small 220V refrigerator and a 12V cooler, a cardanically suspended 3-burner gas stove with oven, and both 220V (shore power) and 12V are available in every compartment. Engine instruments, in addition to the voltmeter and the water and diesel level meters, provide all information regarding the current situation. The ship is further equipped with originally mounted Raymarine instruments that provide the skipper with all necessary information. A Cmap chart plotter is installed, and there is even a working radar, although the monitor is currently not connected. However, this can be easily accomplished. The anchor chain locker has been replaced with a polyester box, watertight mounted, and water that comes in through the anchor shaft is automatically drained by the outlet in the bow on the starboard side. Paint scheme hull: Note that Interthane 990 consists of part A Epoxy and part B hardener! International Intershield 300 Epoxy Primer: entire hull: 3 layers. International Inter-Pro red antifouling: underwater ship: 2 layers. International Interthane 990 Base Ultra Deep Blue: hull: 3 layers. International Interthane 990 Base Ultra Light Grey: decks, hull band, cockpit, roof deck: 2 layers. International Interthane 990 White: deckhouse: 2 layers. International Varnish: all woodwork. International Interlac 665 Ral 1013: hatches, underdeck roof. International Super Gloss HS Ocean Blue 210 is for the kitchen fronts (and can be used for small repairs to the blue hull). All interior: use water-based paint at your discretion. There is a can of Epifanes Black Bottom available. For small repairs where it is not possible to use epoxy primer, this product can be used as a base. This ensures that the steel will not rust. Operation: Toilet: under deck, under the door to the toilet, is the suction shut-off valve: close it during long absences. WC handle to the back is shut-off valve closed, to the front open. Flushing: set the shut-off valve to the front and pump, after flushing set the shut-off valve to the back. The shut-off valve for the waste water tank or overboard is clearly marked. The diaphragm pump on the wall is to pump the tank low. In the toilet, there is hot and cold water. The Seaflo 3.8 l/min water pump is mounted in the engine room against the aft bulkhead. Gas stove and oven: the gas bottle is located on the starboard side at the front under the bench in the cockpit. All lighting is 12V. In the cabin, there are two working oil lamps installed for emergencies. In the forward cabin, there are two 12V reading lamps installed. The radio is mounted on the port side in the panel above the sofa. The water tank has two connections to the pump, low and high. Low is only used to pump the tank empty. On the starboard side under the front bench, there is a hand lens pump installed. It sucks from the keel under the engine. Furthermore, under the bench, the paint supply etc. can be found. On the port side, all sheets and halyards that are not used are stored. Fenders can also easily fit here. The stairs at the entrance of the cabin house two more spaces for cleaning supplies and the vacuum cleaner (220V). In the corner above the sofa on the port side against the toilet bulkhead, there is a regulator for the 12V cooler, which is mounted under the sofa. You turn on the cooler by turning the regulator open. There is also a button on the cooling unit in the cooler to get colder faster. Electrics: Electrical connections are summarized in 5 drawings, on which all connections can be followed. E cabinet: turn on the 100A black switch and all 12V is online, the radio will start playing by itself, the memory wire is permanently connected to the battery, just like in the car. The drinking water pump switch is normally on. You can hear the pump working until the pressure switch turns it off. The oil pump heater switch is not connected, for use when a diesel heater is connected again (the pipes for a diesel heater in the engine room are still there). There are 14 groups of 12V, of which the 14th is not used. See the attached drawings for the overview. The switch for the lens pump is also in the E cabinet. There are three batteries installed, a starter battery, a service battery, both in the engine room, and a bow thruster battery under the beds in the forward cabin. There are two permanent battery chargers installed, see below. There are two solar panels, each with its own inverter. The inverters are separately switched but their outputs are mounted together. The selection switch for charging batteries via solar panels is mounted in the E cabinet: 1 = starter battery, 2 is service battery. At the bottom of the E cabinet is the 220V section. There are 4 switches that switch 220V: Top left is battery charger engine room, top right is battery charger bow space, bottom left is for the aft cabin, bottom right is for the cockpit. A residual current device and a residual current switch are mounted on the rail. Behind the lower door is a galvanic isolator that eliminates the potential difference between shore and ship. All ground wires are connected to it and this is also connected to the steel hull. There is also a large black selection switch that can connect the bow thruster/anchor shaft battery to the grid. See the drawings for this. There is permanently 220V on the following wall sockets (wcd) via the shore connection: in the E cabinet, in the kitchen, in the forward cabin on the port side. Engine: All manuals about the engine and reversing gearbox are on board. A new plastic fuel tank has been installed, replacing the old steel one. Restoration windows: This is a weak point of this design. The recessed windows always left water standing in the rebate. The rebates have been completely plastered, leveled, and repaired, making the windows neat again. However, it remains a point of attention. Water can no longer stand in any case, the underside of each rebate is now beveled so that water runs off by itself. Instruments: The ST40 depth meter works well. Under the keel, it reads about 0.8 meters. The ST50 Tri-Data works well, but the depth is not indicated on it, it goes via the ST40. Apparently, the data from the ST40 is not compatible with the Tri-Data. The ST50 wind vane meter no longer works. There is still a loose ST50 GPS repeater instrument. If it were to be used, it must receive data from the GPS receiver located above the chart table in the cabin. The ST50 autopilot is loose and easy to mount against the steering position. The cable for it can be found in the stand itself. The C70 chart plotter works fine; when all plugs are connected, it receives data from the other instruments. A CD-ROM card is in the plotter and shows the sailing area. Note that the chart is outdated; it is always good practice to use the current paper nautical chart. Via an update, this plotter can receive an 'overlay' from the radar. Unfortunately, that never worked well, so Raymarine has turned this function off by default. It can be found on the internet how this can possibly be turned back on. There is indeed a real radar screen on board. It has not been used but works. Combining a power cable with that of the chart plotter and the radar is perfectly usable. All manuals are on board. GeneralControl: HydraulicOther: Remote control available but not connected.
