Full splendour ahead: "Germania V" under full sail
A German owner operates the classic from Krupp on Mallorca. On-board visit to a former German ambassador
Built in 1955 by Henry Rasmussen at Abeking & Rasmussen in Lemwerder on the Weser, it was the Krupps' first new ship after the Second World War. Originally designed purely as a cruising vessel, the ship was also used several times in regattas, even transatlantic.
Today it is only used for touring and is usually sailed by the owner couple alone - without a bow thruster or electric winches. Thanks to the divided sail area, the Yawl is still easy to handle. The ship surprises with an unusual room layout and even more by the fact that the interior has been preserved true to the original.
