Hanseboot premieres V: Scalar 34 classic
On show for the first time in Hamburg: The Scalar 34 in the newer version with a longer deck, which creates more storage space and a traditional look

The renowned shipyard from Kappeln on the Schlei is presenting the Classic version of its long-selling Scalar 34 for the first time. The timeless crack is translated into a GRP hull and a wooden deck with a mahogany superstructure. Classic stands for a longer deck and a positive stern, measures that make the Scalar almost a centre-cockpit yacht.

In addition to the two sterns, the customer has the choice of many furnishing options and can also express their own wishes. The ship is particularly worth a visit because of the extremely successful woodwork, which makes it a real piece of jewellery and shows many details that have become extinct in modern boat building.

Shipyard boss Rolf Steckmest's own design dates back to 1996.
