The "Hamburg V" built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 1950
Shortly after the war, the Hamburgischer Verein Seefahrt had the yacht built according to the RORC formula. Today, freshly restored, she sails on the Schlei. Download the portrait in PDF format

It was considered difficult to control, and even designer Henry Rasmussen was not convinced by the Hamburgers' endeavours. A few years after it was built, the club parted with the yacht. Today, a boat builder has taken the ship under his wing and rectified the design flaws.
