CARINA

Notes: In the late 1960s and 1970s the Carina was a very successful model and one of the most popular pocket cruisers in Germany. First built in plywood with a hard chine, beginning in 1966 the boats were built using FG and offered with either a hard chine or rounded frame. In 1968, hulls were only built with a round-frame with keel, twin keel or keel-centreboard. In the 1970s also built with forecastle deck.\n\n1) First reported in sailing magazine "Yacht“ 1962\nLOA 5,70 m, beam 2,06 m, draft 0,60 m\nOnly built as hard chine frame in plywood.\n\n2) Report in "Yacht," 3/1966\nAt this point, hulls were only built in FG.\nAvailable as hard chine frame with twin keel or round frame with fin keel.\n \n3) 1968 Carina (also named "Carina R", most built model)\nFrom this point, hulls were only round frame ("R“ = round frame).\n\nDraft: twin keel - 0.55m/1.8 ft; Keel/centerboard - 0.47m/1.54 ft\n\nThanks to "Christopher" for providing information, test reports and brochures.
