Chang and Eng
Named after a ‘Siameese twin’ from the 19th century, this first ever Dutch built catamaran (for yachting purpose) sails on the river Merwede near Dordrecht in Holland. The boat was built in 1859 and was designed by the builder, Johan Smit from Slikkerveer. It sailed for a very long time from Dordrecht.
From an article in the magazine De Watersport, from 1914.
