The Knarr boat (named after the Viking cargo boat , the Knorr ) is a Scandinavian type of sailboat .
history
From the good experiences that the Norwegian sailors had made with the folk boat and the kite , the Knarr boat emerged as a synthesis of both classes. It was designed in 1943 by the Norwegian Ing.Erling L. Kristofersen and adopted by the Scandinavian Sailing Association as a unit class in 1955 .
In the years 1965-66, the last boats were made of wood and since 1969 Knarrs be exclusively from GfK built. The only building license of the class association has not been in Denmark since 2004, but with the boatyard Schneidereit on the Elbe.
hull
The Knarr boat is a classic three-man keel boat . The Norwegian sailors found more taste in the usual hull shape of the kite and chose the round frame with the long overhangs at the bow and stern for the Knarr boat , only longer, combined with the small cabin roof of the folk boat and its division below deck. The hull should be particularly strong, so the Karweel construction was chosen with a plank thickness of 22 millimeters ( Folk boat = 14.5 millimeters).
Rigging, rigging and sails
The classic Knarr boat is rigged as a Bermuda sloop. Due to their under rigging and their slender crack, the long keelers are maneuverable and stable to sail on the cross at great heights, especially when there is wind in the Baltic Sea .
Regatta and races
There is no active class association in northern Germany. there are Knarr associations in Norway, Denmark and San Francisco. The international championships have been held annually since 1969, alternating on the San Francisco Bay , the Oslofjord and the Öresund , where the strongest fleets are located. The specialty is that the hosts provide the boats to the overseas guests.
In addition, classic or "vintage" guns are sailed in the corresponding regattas - mostly according to the remuneration formula for classic yachts - as is usual with classic yachts under the original national sailing symbol with the original sail number.
