About the CARINA
In the late 1960s and 1970s the Carina was a very successful model and one of the most popular pocket cruisers in Germany. First built in plywood with a hard chine, beginning in 1966 the boats were built using FG and offered with either a hard chine or rounded frame. In 1968, hulls were only built with a round-frame with keel, twin keel or keel-centreboard. In the 1970s also built with forecastle deck. 1) First reported in sailing magazine "Yacht“ 1962 LOA 5,70 m, beam 2,06 m, draft 0,60 m Only built as hard chine frame in plywood. 2) Report in "Yacht," 3/1966 At this point, hulls were only built in FG.
