Please Help Me Determine Value of Kompier Yacht

[MacG]

Herman Tingen, YES, that could very much be the designer. I know his designs, well balanced, seaworthy and beautiful. A very good designer, not that well known (internationally) but on line with the old Ricus VdS, John Janssen, Baron van Hoeuvell, etc. not the lesser and before all quality designers.

About Herman Tingen it is possible to find out more.

[MacG]

Jay, I'll check for you the old name. See what's coming out.

MacG - thank you for all of the insight. If you hear further on the translation of the name we would love to hear more! My email is listed below for further communication.

We have reached a great point to call the end of this chapter/thread.

Maverick is now in Vermont and will be here for many years for a full refit. This thread is a main contributor which allowed me to learn a lot about the boat and situation - before I purchased the plane ticket to Florida for inspection. Interesting that I found the thread while researching the boat prior to the trip. The power of the internet IS truly amazing.

Thank you to all who participated. Thank you for supporting Dee in her difficult search for a new owner. Thank you Dee, and God bless your brother, H. Boyd - he sounded like a great guy... I could tell he will be missed by many.

Here is the end of this chapter. If you have a couple of minutes watch the You tube my 13 year old son made (the dozer driver). I cannot begin to tell you how happy I was to have the boat finally here in Norwich. Stuck In The mud would be a fitting name for the movie. 75,000 lbs - stuck three times, two heavy duty 4 wheel tractors and a dozer to pull him out. Wow.

Sail on!

Cheers for letting us all know about the (happy) end of the story .........and the start of a new one

Notwithstanding that you will be kinda busy for the next few years don't be shy about sharing progress.

I have found the 1st owner and the crazy fatum will be that this owner, Hendrik Schreuder, lives about 10 minutes away from our mansion.

I will contact him for the precise details of the boat. I remembered that I have been on board while she (Maverick) was berthed in Lelystad.
She is 13.00 mtrs long, steel built by a first class Dutch Shipyard specialised in building steel boats. For this length, steel is an excellent building material. The boat is made for world cruising.

In Holland she is still worth a bundle, since this traditional long-keeler is still in substantial demand. A better boat in her category cannot be found.

A great end to this stage of the life of Maverick. Now starts the first stage of a new beginning. Congratulations.

Hello Mark! I am so happy to hear from you. I have not yet seen your name in the lead but I do remember seeing that it was noted on one of the many surveys of the vessel. I believe you are indeed part of the history of this wonderful craft. I am led to believe that your fathers name is Hendrik? My understanding is that he owned the boat and finished it himself. I can tell you that when I purchased the boat it was FULL of heavy mold and I had made the purchase thinking that I would have to rip all of the interior out and throw it in the dumpster. But now I am happy to report that I have been working in the boat already and have found that I hope to be able to save about 90% of it. And I am happy to tell you that the interior is of very high quality.

The steel in the hull is in excellent condition and all of the surveys claim it is of the highest quality build. You should be very proud of your father. Did you work on the boat too?

You said you were sad to see the boat in its present condition. I want to tell you that I have been looking for many years for a boat like this to rebuild for my own use. I have worked long and hard for others, and now this one is for me and my family. I want you to understand that because of the wonderful work of your father and his friends... this boat will be refit and I hope it will in turn take me and my friends for a loop around the globe. With confidence!

Here are a couple of photos of the level of my work. Rest assured I will do this level of work on the Kompier.

I want to hear more from you. Please check back with me!

The first table is ebony and rice paper with ink soji brushwork on top. The base is steel with applied paper.

The boat is a triple cockpit Gar-wood. Fully restored.

The third table is a tilt top with a book matched mahogany top and contemporary custom metal base. A very modern interpretation of a table by a famous 1800's furnituremaker here in the U.S.

Having found the christian name of Herman *Henk* Tingen I was able to dig up his whole history.

This is a mixed Dutch/Enlglish website so the ones of you who are able to read outlandish Dutch can enjoy themselves.
Jay, you have got yourself a real gem.

I can add some more news: Maverick, ex "Williewel" is probably the last design of Henk Tingen. A number of his designs sail still over the globe, USA, Thailand etc. and show the ability of the Dutch to design strong and timeless yachts.

[MacG]

Two designs one in Thailand and one in La Rochelle, NY, USA

[Mark Schreuder]

Hello,

Here a foto of the Williewell in here days in Holland!

Yes this is one of the latest design from Henk Tingen, build by Kompier in Woerden and finisched by my dad Henk Schreuder.

We have sailed with the Williewel about 15 years and then sold it to Houston Boyd.

[MacG]

Does you/your family still live in Lunteren? I met your father in Lelystad where I saw the boat and interior. I was at that time impressed by the quality of the all over finish. It is significant that both John Janssen and Henk Tingen worked with Kok-Aalsmeer. In the link of Amels you might find the sistership to "Williewel".

[Mark Schreuder]

Hello Jay,

Wow, this is unbelievable!! Years we have been searching and now and old years day we hear that the (williewel) is in your hands. And so I read in very good hands. We are very happy that you want to rebuild the ship is his orginal state.
We had al lot of great years with this ship.
My dad is very exciting and he will help you in any way he can, it was his dream also.

By the way, I am the sister, Brenda.

We hope you hear more from you and we will definitely send you more foto´s of how the ship looked like 30 years ago.

Best wishes and a very happy new year.

Brenda van Beest-Schreuder
