Yes, in deed! Especially the old models do have a special "spirit" !

can you buy this boat as a kit?

[RetoFor]

@willvd1697 The boat was a kit around 30 plus years ago. It was made by a company named Hegi, which don't even exist anymore (or is not doing model kits anymore). The model was build by my father and I did a complete refit a couple of years ago. Since the refit, where a made new, slightly larger sails, the sailing behaviour became a little better.

sail it instead of motoring!!!

@willvd1697

In the vid about half is sailed! The motor is equal to the full size for situation without wind or to maneuvre in the harbour. In the sport center where the shots have been taken a lot of buildings and trees are close by. This is unfortunately blocking proper wind conditions and a pure sailing becomes almost impossible. For pure sailing just have a look at our Seawinds in quite rough water.
