The youth traveling cutter was developed from marine cutters (second class cutter, K II K) of the Imperial Navy and is distantly related to the later developed cutter ZK10 . The traditional hull construction of today's youth touring cutters is almost identical to that of the lifeboats of the Imperial Navy around 1900. At that time, these boats were moved by larger crews with muscle power through the strongest storms to help seamen in need.

When the demand for employment for young people increased after World War II , sailing clubs looked for a stable and safe boat for their youth work. With the youth hiking cutter, based on the tried and tested marine cutter, but with a modified lateral plan and rig , a type of boat was designed that could be sailed or rowed by a smaller group of 6-9 young people. The boats are rigged as lugger ketch . They do not carry the usual single-masted rig, but are equipped with a two-masted lugger rig, the mainsail of which is driven treeless . A round sword can be lowered continuously in order to enlarge the lateral plan while sailing .

Traditionally, the cutter is built using the Kraweel design and, after it has been on land for a long time, must first be watered so that the joints between the planks swell. One advantage of this design is that the boat is robust and easy to repair. For some years now, molded and GRP cutters have been built, which are lighter and require less maintenance, but are more difficult to repair.

The youth hiking cutter was recognized by the German Sailing Association as a separate boat class in the 1960s and has been built around 40 times since then. The sailing sign changed several times. A number system with underlined black digits has prevailed in the Besan . About 5 to 10 copies are still active on the Elbe around Hamburg , there are a few more on the North and Baltic Seas and in the Weser - Ems region . However, many of the traditional sailors had to "start their last voyage" and have been retired.

The boat is designed for day and weekend trips close to the coast and is ideally suited for the Elbe. However, once a year, in summer, the youth touring cutters go on a three to four-week long trip, mostly to the Danish South Seas . Some crews also go on one to two week autumn tours, which can be cold, but on the other hand have a special charm due to wind and weather.

The boat type is intended to appeal to 14 to 20 year olds and can be sailed with a crew of five or more. It is considered a suitable “teaching aid” for learning to sail and good seamanship . Cutter sailing is also inexpensive, as most clubs only charge the reduced membership fee from pupils and students. Nevertheless, the boats are increasingly seldom to be seen, as the clubs with youth touring cutters have problems with the young.
