Wooden Ships Comments on this Knud Reimers Tumlare Sloop
Tumlare sloop designed by Knud Reimers and built in 1937.
Her previous shipwright owner started a major refit including the fitting of a new laid cedar deck, however a move abroad meant the boat was left undercover and the project not completed. Purchased in 2018 by the present owner, the first stage of refit was completed in 2018 and the boat was launched and sailed. Over the winter fo 2021-2022 she had another major refit period where the following work was undertaken:
- Ballast keel removed, rebedded and fitted with new bronze bolts
- Garboard plank and next plank up replaced with all new bronze fastenings
- Stern post replaced
- New laminated iroko stern knee fitted
- Many frame heels replaced with new sections scraphed in
With recent rigging and sails, a refurbished road trailer and an excellent annual maintenance program in recent years, this is a very fine example of this exquisite Scandinavian keel boat with a well documented recent refit history so her next owner can be certain of the condition of the yacht and will not be faced with any major repair work in the coming years.
The Tumlare is known for her superb sailing characteristics and despite the low freeboard they are surprisingly capable and weatherly boats. The larger sister, the Stor Tumlaren at 32’, was written about extensively by Adlard Coles in his book Heavy Weather Sailing as a prime example of a good sea boat.
The yacht is currently ashore on her road trailer ready to be moved to a new home.
