Overview
Robbe & Berking Yachtwerft describes itself as loving classic yachts, which it restores where possible or builds anew — from historical or new plans, in traditional or modern construction, but always in wood and by hand. The yard states that it has rescued and either restored or rebuilt several famous racing yachts of the metre classes, and that researching lost yachts and their original plans is one of its important tasks. It also builds newly designed yachts, including cruising vessels, racing yachts, motorboats, tenders and dinghies. Its offering covers restoration of yachts from the keel upwards and rebuilding lost yachts from original plans. The yard reports that a classic of America's Cup history, the 12-metre R yacht 'Gretel', which sailed in 1962 as a challenger for the America's Cup and was the first Australian 12-metre, designed by Alan Payne, is at the yard for restoration. It also presents a bar cart developed together with the new bar collection of the Robbe & Berking Silbermanufaktur, and Robbe & Berking 82ft and 33ft Commuter motorboat concepts developed together with Beiderbeck.
