Marine cutter
Marine cutters were already used in the imperial navy as combined training and transfer boats and mainly used for the rescue service in the event of accidents. They also served as a connection from ship to ship, ship to land and vice versa.
The 2nd class marine cutter (K II K) used today is a two-masted sailing boat with "auxiliary drive" by means of belts . It is made of GRP and is mainly used as a naval training ship . Its length is 8.50 m, its width 2.49 m and it has a sail area of 27.11 m². There are also boats with Kraweel or clinker planking as well as motorized variants.
Every year marine cutter regattas take place during the Kiel Week in Kiel .

From the hull shape of the cutter K II K, the youth touring cutter (JWK) was developed and in 1958 the "Oevelgönne" (III) was launched at the yacht yard Martin von Cölln in Hamburg-Finkenwerder.
The sailing cutter type ZK10 was developed in the GDR and can be seen as a counterpart to the K II K.
