Previous owners

At some point I had the desire to find out who owned the boat in front of me, where it has been all over the world and what happened to the boat before I could call it my own. Of course the beginning was very easy, as I bought Fuchur from my brother Cay-Erik. On 01.09.2003 I bought the boat for the purchase price of 8.000, – € and a used Sony laptop.
But let’s start where the boat was borne.
The yacht was built 1975 on a yachting shipyard on the Thames in England. And not only her – no – two of them were built at once. The general agency for Jaguar yachts was then in Osnabrück. Here Mr. Günter Mählmann bought both ships to use them as charter boats. At that time Fuchurs name was Kestrel and the sister ship Foka. Since Mr. Mählmann had not only the love to water but also the hobby of model aviation, he called the boats after his two model gliders. Until the beginning of 2015 the Foka lay in a small, well-kept harbor – Schausende. At last it was called 4-Fun. Today she sails on the Schlei in Kappel and her name is Maus.

Before the boats were delivered to their proper destination, the yacht charter, Mr. Mählmann has installed a saildrive from Volvo / Honda in both boats . Then the boats have been chartered for years.
In the mid-1970s, it was common for boats to be delivered in orange. When sanding the underwater ship, I’ve already seen this color. So much the happier I am that Fuchur is kept in classic white today.
