Comments

Hol Di Ran was built in 1926 for Mr Behrendt & H. Hamann of the Hamburger Segelverein (sail number X 15) by Willy v. Hacht. Hol Di Ran has some special features in the survey:

• Stern more like an L-boat,
• helmsman sits in front of the foresailer directly behind the superstructure
• Built with gaff rig despite the new class regulations of 1926 (now new mast since 2018)
• According to measurements very accurately built (size cockpit, weight only 50kg above the minimum, freeboard height)
• After extensive restoration from 2011 to 2018, the Hol Di Ran is perfectly prepared for archipelago cruising regattas, or even holiday cruising.
