Hansa Dinghy

The Hansa dinghy was built 224 times by Abeking & Rasmussen between 1948 and 1969. Designed by Henry Rasmussen as early as the 1920s, the small keel centerboard was very popular due to its versatility and became the one-design class of the DSV. The 5.85 meter long boat was designed as a small and safe cruising boat for inland and coastal areas.

The cabin was small, but there was enough space for 2 beds. The price in 1958 was around DM 7,000, and Hansa dinghy No. 79 (Solveig), with which Rollo Gebhard sailed to the Red Sea in 1960/61, became famous. The lead ballast of 160kg and the small cabin give the boat the necessary stability and safety. To this day, the Hansa dinghy is an active class in the DSV.

The 1:6.5 scale model kit is for beginners, but also designed for advanced users and largely based on its model. The model can be operated with or without remote control, the installation for an RC system is prepared. The interior consists of precision-cut plywood parts that are glued together in the deep-drawn hull.

The deck with the printed planks is cut out to fit perfectly. As a light-wind sailor, the model, based on the original Hansa dinghy, is designed entirely as a classic wooden construction with a high-quality plastic hull. This allows the model builder to easily set up the model, which is watertight from the start. If you wish to operate the model in stronger winds, it is necessary to attach a removable additional ballast to the centreboard. The model kit contains:
