Engineering:Tumlare
The Tumlare (lit. Porpoise) is a class of canoe-sterned (or 'double-ended') yacht designed by Knud Reimers. The design dates from the early 1930s (1933 from a majority of sources; No. 1, Aibe was built the next year for Bengt Kinde).[1] The Tumlare is 8.30 metres (27.2 ft) overall;[2] the design was strongly endorsed as a 'very advanced type' by Uffa Fox who was especially interested in the composite method of construction employed, with metal frames interspersed between the timber ones.[3]
The class became popular worldwide. Examples are to be found all round the Baltic, in the UK, North America and Australia.[4] The total number built is given variously from 'At least 200'[5] to 'Some 600',[6] with '660' given in Vanessa Bird's 'Classic Classes'.[3]
As standard, the class carries 20 square metres (220 sq ft) of sail,[5][7] however a variant known as the Hocco is a class with the same hull but 28 square metres (300 sq ft) of sail, conceived for sailing on inland waters, specifically Lake Geneva.[8]
The larger sister class, the 32' Large Tumlare, Stortumlare, or 'Albatross' class is a related design.[9]
