Edmund Sommerfeld - boatyard location & info

The enclosed Link is telling the history of the Bootswerft Edmund Sommerfeld, which was located in Wentorf, near Hamburg. The owner was an early specialist in wooden laminated hulls, which he built for other boatyards, for completion. This ranged from small size boats up to an ocean racing yacht of 16m length, for A&R. The 5.5's benefited in the 70's from the project initiated by Thomas Sprecher.

These boats are sisterboats to a Britton Chance jr. design: Z-114, Z-116, Z-117, Z-118, Z-121, Z-122 and G-21 which later became Z-127.
