History of the Feltz Werft GmbH shipyard

Founded in the mid-20th century, it focused on cruising sailboats and fishing vessels, becoming a benchmark in Europe for its solid and durable builds. The shipyard produced models like the Skorpion III, valued for its stability and versatility, particularly in Nordic waters and the Baltic Sea.
Technical specifications of the Skorpion III
The Skorpion III is a cruising sailboat designed for long voyages. Its long keel provides excellent stability and reliability on course, even in rough seas. Its functional sail plan is optimized for strong winds, allowing quick and efficient sail reduction thanks to its furling masts. This system simplifies handling and reduces fatigue while sailing.
Its enclosed central cockpit, spacious and very bright, offers a 360° view, ensuring safety and comfort during family or group sailing. The interior is designed to combine practicality and well-being, with optimized storage and equipment layout.
Equipment and engine
This boat is equipped with a 128 HP Mercedes Diesel engine, with only 800 original operating hours. Fully overhauled in 2024, it guarantees optimal reliability for sea outings. The electrical supply is supplemented by two 200W solar panels, providing additional autonomy for onboard equipment.
Onboard comfort is ensured by a forced-air heating system, ideal for sailing in cooler seasons. Navigation is made easier by a RAYMARINE P70S autopilot with ACU-400 control unit (2022), ensuring precision and reliability.
For safety and positioning, the boat is equipped with a FURUNO GP 39 GPS tracker with Glomex antenna and a RAYMARINE 650 Class B AIS transponder, essential for secure navigation compliant with international standards.
The rigging has been fully overhauled: the HARKEN standing rigging in steel was done in 2020, and the running rigging was replaced in 2021, ensuring increased strength and durability.
