Spankracht - De Restauratie van een Hoogaars plot

Atalante is a wooden hoogaars (a traditional Zeeland flat-bottomed yacht originally used as a fishing vessel) built in Tholen in 1938. The documentary tells the story of the ship's preservation. A beautiful vessel, but the dilemma in 2017 was clear: sail it or thoroughly restore it. Father and son Schot chose the latter: a single-handed restoration—with the help of many volunteers—that took six years.
