This sailing ship is something very special. The last owner, a self-employed model builder, extended the GRP hull built by the Fortuna shipyard himself within seven years. Not in an amateurish manner, as is so often seen, but with the detail-loving perfection of a model builder.
Perfection down to the last corner
Attention to detail
After completion, the ship stood for another 10 years in a climate-controlled hall where it was constantly improved, equipment added to and further developed. The interior is made of teak and the entire ship is extremely well insulated up to the waterline. The workmanship is of high quality and corresponds to the best boatbuilding craftsmanship.

It can start
For the big trip
She is optimised for the big trip. Robust technology, a lot of refinement, Becker rudder and bow thruster for more manoeuvrability in the harbour, lines for the main on the mast, mast baskets for a secure hold, lazy bags for the main, cutter rigging with two furling headsails as well as an autopilot make the ship also suitable for single-handed sailing.
Super-reliable!
"Taximotor"
The engine is the "taxi engine" known for its reliability, the Mercedes OM 636 with 36 hp. It starts great, runs like clockwork and the spare parts prices are wallet-friendly. A protected cockpit, bowsprit for comfortable anchoring and a solidly rigged mast, that's what makes a classic cruising yacht.


Interior
Cosy and plenty of space
Downstairs is very cosy with lots of storage space, 4 berths and a dog bunk. Cooking, baking and heating is done with paraffin. The beautiful Taylor appliances are mostly found on traditional ships, and they are still used today in Toplicht in Hamburg. We sleep in the forward berth in front of the toilet room. There is also an echo sounder with depth alarm and a barometer for quiet nights at anchor. The aft cabin is intended for possible visitors and as storage space for sails, etc. There is much to discover here!
