In the renowned Boat building on the Schlei the season "feels" like it starts this coming Sunday, 16 March, at 10.00 a.m. sharp. That's when all the doors will be unlocked and a look behind the scenes of the business will be granted. Anyone interested can look around until 4 pm, breathe in the scent of sawn timber and talk shop with experts about boat building.
Special treat
"A very special Scalar is currently under construction," says boat builder Hauke Steckmest, because the 34 will not only be unique due to the traditional yacht stern: "It is the 100th Scalar to be built by us." The hull will have just left the mould by the time of the open day and the first bulkheads will have been fitted.
Classic double ender
Visitors can see that even today it is still possible to do without plastic entirely by looking at the example of the "Gaudeamus" pointed galley, which was completed by Henningsen and Steckmest last year (see also our "The special boat" section in Issue 18/2013 ). It will be visible from the outside.
The whole range
But the entire spectrum of yacht building will also be on display, says Steckmest. "In addition to a brand-new Scalar 34 and a Scalar 40, the Scalar Speedster is also on display. There is also a Baltic 37 and a Swedish classic, a Storebro Havsörnen II, in our shipyard hall, where we have 'refitted' the interior and some of the technology."
