Since 2011, Jack and Elise van Bekhoven live aboard the tug boat Jacoba which has her berth in Woudrichem. The Jacoba was built in 1918 as the steam tug Leiden by Piet Smit jr. in Rotterdam and since 1954 a Deutz VM 145 of 100 hp from 1923 stands in the engine room. How is sailing with such a two cylinder engine? ‘A bit of pounding, but relaxed,’ says Jack. ‘It’s a beautiful sound here inside. You can keep up with it all day long. A fast revver makes you a bit nervous. What’s also nice, is that people ashore start dancing to the sound of the engine.’ How does Elise like the Deutz? ‘I think it’s fantastic. I get tears in my eyes when I see it starting.’

    How comforting it is to hear that engine chugging along. I could listen all day to it idling!!!!!

    I enjoy seeing these beautiful old vessels on your channel. The English subtitles make a big difference. Thank you.

    How sweet is that engine sound! No wonder the wife gets tears in her eyes when it starts up. It seems to carry you away to some special place that you have never been before!

    What a lovely couple. You don't need to own the bank of england to have a good quality of life. Just live within your means.

    Could easily fall asleep listening to that beautiful motor. So relaxing, especially with the sound of the water.

    She was built in 1918, and fitted in 1954 with an engine that was already 30 years old. Admirable Dutch thriftiness!

    Machtige machine, maar ook het hele interieur van de boot is fantastisch! Nog bedankt voor de rondleiding Jack!

    I have been a deutz fan for years although I first saw one in a truck. I like that it was air cooled. Love your engine.

    I LOVE these videos & the pure art of it all. Not to mention capturing a good part the process. Please correct me if I’m wrong. But, I’ve never see an apprentice around any of these.

    Thank you so much for giving us English subtitles so that us English speakers can hear the Captain explain the engine in his own words. I watch anyway of course however for me, this is much better. I just love these old machines.
