5.5 G 19 "Fortuna V" - Olympic candidate in 1968
11-03-2021
by Kaspar Stubenrauch, 11-03-2021
There had been plans to have this boat being built in time, for competing for the Olympic ticket, in 1968. If it was the direct nomination of G 17 by the German Sailing Federation or another reason, which made the original wish impossible, still has to be researched.
5.5 G 19 "Fortuna" - finally found

Francois has found the boat, however in a much different state, compared to its sailing times. Part of the hull has been transformed to a restaurant bar unit. This is bringing G 19 into the family of "5.5m-furniture-units", like KA 17 and US 71.
5.5 G-19 sold to Switzerland in 1972 / Lake Geneva?
17-02-2018
by Kaspar Stubenrauch, 17-02-2018
It has today been confirmed that this boat was sold to Switzerland, in 1972.
Eventually, she can be found on Lake Geneva, possibly without Swiss 5.5 sailnumber, as she is believed to never have been registered there for racing.
The boat could be similar to Z-91 + Z-92 or to S-50.
This info for those having an open eye, when strolling through harbours on Lake Geneva, next springtime. Please pass info on her location as a note, here.
