About this CUSTOM CHALUPPEN METEOR IV

English

Bids accepted!

Meteor is the name of the 5 classic yachts that Kaiser Wilhelm II sailed with. The first of the 5 yachts was from 1887 and the last was built in 1914.

The emperor was a sailor and participated in the big ones like Cowes week and Kieler Woche.

The chalppen Meteor IV bears the same name as its mother ship. The saloon and schooner were designed by renowned German yacht builder Max Oertz and both built at the Germaniawerft in Kiel in 1909.

A local marine engineer from Svendborg named Jørgen Ludvig Barchalia bought the chalupa in southern Jutland and installed the current steam engine. We don't know what engine was originally in the chalet. The steam engine is from 1892 and built at the naval shipyard. The story goes that Barchalia bought the steam engine for a bottle of whiskey!

Meteor sailed for a number of years on Svendborgsund and has been based in Skovshoved for many years. The chalupa was most recently restored in Skovshoved at Nordbjerg.

Meteor ist der Name der 5 klassischen Yachten, mit denen Kaiser Wilhelm II. segelte. Die erste der 5 Yachten stammte aus dem Jahr 1887 und die letzte wurde 1914 gebaut.

Der Kaiser war ein begeisterter Segler und nahm an den großen Veranstaltungen wie der Cowes Week und der Kieler Woche teil.

Die Chalppen Meteor IV trägt denselben Namen wie ihr Mutterschiff. Der Salon und der Schoner wurden von dem bekannten deutschen Yachtkonstrukteur Max Oertz entworfen und beide 1909 auf der Germaniawerft in Kiel gebaut.

Ein örtlicher Schiffsingenieur aus Svendborg namens Jørgen Ludvig Barchalia kaufte die Chalupa in Südjütland und baute die heutige Dampfmaschine ein. Wir wissen nicht, welche Maschine ursprünglich im Chalupa war. Die Dampfmaschine stammt aus dem Jahr 1892 und wurde in der Marinewerft gebaut. Es wird erzählt, dass Barchalia die Dampfmaschine für eine Flasche Whiskey gekauft hat!

Die Meteor segelte einige Jahre lang auf dem Svendborgsund und ist seit vielen Jahren in Skovshoved stationiert. Die Chalupa wurde zuletzt in Skovshoved bei Nordbjerg restauriert.
