5.5 GER 17 - back in Germany

The most successful German 5.5m boat (4th in Acapulco) in Olympic times for the Class, has returned to Germany, being based in Strande on Kiel Firth. She will be sailing local regattas with the Kiel fleet, but can also be expected in International events.

I hope that I can clarify some of the confusion. I have USA 79; sailing in Casco Bay, Maine. It is an Egger built cold molded hull. Moveable mast step. When I purchased the boat I was also given two blueprints. One was the sail plan, the other was the construction drawing. Great boat!
