The catboat of the type "Seezunge" (= the german word for "Sole") does exist by now for about 50 years in Germany. It has an interesting start-up history. Its fathers and designers that had been famous in Germany at the time. Her elegant lines are classical and of timeless beauty. And with her friendly face she is exciting now for several decades not only her enthusiasts but anyone who looks at her.

In the various sailing areas throughout Germany there may exist probably some 80-100 boats of this type.

Bewaring of these stories of your catboat will be of sustainable value not only for you but for your boat and for the succeeding generations of owners.
