"Robbe"

Midget 15

Year of build ?

Home: Germany

In late summer 2019 we bought this Midget 15 from an elderly gentleman in Northern Germany.

We took her to Berlin in April 2020.

Lutz and the new owners - Jonas and Miena.

"Robbe" has a wooden mast and boom. Also a spinnaker, which we haven't tested yet. She is also equipped with a furling jib. She came with trailer, a lot of accessories such as ropes, life jackets, bathing ladder, electric motor, spare tiller, paddles etc.

Lutz shows us how to set the mast and hoist the sails. He would love to instruct us properly during a loop on the Schlei, but unfortunately the circumstances don't allow it.

How does this furling jib work...?! But my daughter Giulina can do it and helps...

 The new "full body"cover requires some practice...

"Robbe" in winter - frozen solid. She was not harmed, but we will NOT do that again. She has now been in the water for two seasons and in autumn 2021 unfortunately "Robbe" had a few osmosis bubbles. We'll skip this sailing season and take care of the entire boat. We will bring some of Lutz's handicrafts closer to their original state. Also we will switch to an aluminum mast and boom. And "Robbe" will be painted new.
