Hydro & Marine Freya

[Diegoboy]

Hey guys,
Remember the baby Freya I got from the swap shop?

Meniscus showed me that H&M now makes a Freya cat (http://www.hydromarine.de/hm_22359.htm) (not baby sized)
I was wondering since they look the same if H&M has bought the rights to this hull or was it always theirs?

Any info Gerwin????

Nope, but as the two designers are called by name I assume they have an agreement with
them. Mark II is a reworked hatch and improved surfacefinish.

I asked on the German FE board if H&M is the only firm who sells the Freya.
I also asked what happened to the Baby Freya.
If that one won't appear on the market again, you have a pretty rare boat !!!!!!!!!!!

I ran a translate on that page and it says:


In collaboration with A. Bauernfeind, and H & M designed the new FREYA MK II, the same types with the original, now with recessed lid and a new surface finish


My baby freya has a recessed lid. But I'm not sure about the "new surface finish" as I don't have another one to compare.

I finally got around to finding rudders that may work for this boat.

One is natural and the other is red - not sure if the color is worth the higher price.

These aren't bad either. I bought one but was way too small for my application. If you could use it Danny shoot me a message.

Gerwin,
Any updates on this?

[Gerwin Brommer]

Still no sign of the baby freya.
I started a topic on the main German board to ask if this beauty is available, or will
become available in the near future.

HOR has a very nice Scale like, small & micro cat rudder. VERY NICE for this!
