The Megin is a sprietgetakelte ( Danish smakkerigget ) keel sword - dinghy 15 feet in length. The name Megin is derived from the name the Norwegian Vikings used for the fifth plank above the keel. This plank was steeply angled to stiffen the ship's bottom. This construction should also have a favorable fluidic effect on the propulsion.
history
This type of boat was developed in 1988 by the Danish architect and boat builder Peer Bruun in his boatyard in Espergærde , and by 2011 515 examples had been built there.
Birgitte Bruun on Thurø offers the boat as a ready-to-sail ship or as a self-build variant.
A typical distinguishing feature of the Megin dinghies, in addition to the striking rigging, is the representation of the serial number in Roman numerals in the mainsail below the Megin logo. The dinghy is also equipped with two Doll pairs equipped and thwarts and thus as a belt - or Skull - rowing boat used.
Stor Megin
Since 2002 there has been an enlarged version of the Stor Megin ("Big Megin"). She is 22 feet long and has a sail area of 26.5 square meters. The Stor Megin was made at Ebbes Bådebyggeri in Marstal on the island of Ærø , and 25 copies were made by 2019.
Regatta operation
After Denmark and Sweden, Germany is the third largest owner nation; there were six German owners in 2011. Therefore, the International Danish Championship of the Megin class took place for the first time in Germany in 2012 on the Schlei near Kappeln . In 2016 this event took place on the Plöner See . In 2019 the area in front of Kappeln was once again the destination of the championship sailors.
