Germania Nova
The new GERMANIA, named GERMANIA NOVA, was designed using identical hull lines as the original as well as the same sail- and deck-plan. The skylights, companionways, and deckhouse are true replicas of the original. Extensive research was undertaken in order to achieve this. A main engine and generators were added, modern navigational and communications equipment were installed with the extra weight involved being compensated with hollow masts and a hull made of high-tensile steel.
The interior was constructed using lightweight materials which nevertheless convey a traditional appearance. Just take a look at the historic photographs displayed throughout the ship and compare them with today’s ship.
GERMANIA NOVA combines modern comfort with the high-performance standards of the original GERMANIA. She is back … and she will rule the waves again!

Rebecca
The German Frers designed Rebecca is one of the largest ketches to be built at Pendennis to date and is, without doubt, one of the finest looking, modern sailing yachts in the world.
The Owner wished to combine all of the best elements of yachts from the mid-19th century to the modern day, in a stylish, eye-catching yacht which would give high performance under sail. German Frers duly produced drawings for a 42-metre yacht with fine lines and a graceful shear, which is both extremely attractive and performance-minded. The interior by Robin Black is light and elegant, consisting largely of off-white fielded panelling. Unusually, the sole is made from antique Heart Pine salvaged from a North American mill built in 1711.
