Koralle JR. (Kolibri)

Koralle JR. (Kolibri) is a 11 ′ 10 ″ / 3.6 m monohull sailboat built by Atlanta Bootsbau starting in 1970.

Drawing of Koralle JR. (Kolibri)

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The KORALLE JR. was built in Germany and exported to US as (KOLIBRI = Hummingbird ??) The KOLIBRI II was built by Glenmore Sailboats Ltd. of Canada. Another boat, probably of the same design, is the ECHO 12, built in Canada. A utility dinghy that can be rowed and accept a small outboard. This record was previously listed as KOLIBRI (KORALLE JR.).

Kolibri # 1 (Kolibri is German for hummingbird)

The year was 1984. i was killing time in a hardware store while getting broken windows repaired. an ad on the store's bulletin board caught my eye and i stopped for a closer look. someone wanted to sell a 12' "kolibri" sailboat for only $250. it even had a car-top loading device and dolly. i looked, bought and was hooked on sailing for life.

The boat had no trailer, so I bought another small boat with a trailer and sold the boat for what I paid for both.

Kolibri # 2

About ten years later, i found an orange kolibri that had hardly been used. i sold the yellow boat for twice what i paid for it. for 18 years, my wife, our children and grandchildren enjoyed sailing our kolibri..

It was not a happy day in 2002 when I finally sold our little "Hummingbird," but we were retiring to the USA and couldn't take it with us. After settling in America, I began looking for another Kolibri. The German-built Kolibri was sold in America for a number of years, sometimes under the name "Koralle Jr." but the few that I found on the Internet were too far away. Glenmore Boats of Canada continued making the Kolibri with a few changes and another Canadian company built the "Echo," which is nearly identical, but a new boat was was not in my budget. More recently I have learned of a "Koralle II Sunsail" and a "Freedom Seeker 12" that were apparently from the same mold.

I owned several canoes and sailboats (see other tabs), but it was four years before i finally found another kolibri. on july 29, 2007, i saw an ad on craigslist for a koralle jr. located just across the delaware river in philadelphia. i responded immediately and on july 31, i towed my trophy home, when the former owner heard that i was "downsizing" and had a mutineer 15 for sale, he came and bought it. here are photos of both boats in our driveway..

kolibri sailboat for sale

The boat had been stored outside without protection, so the seat and transom were badly weathered. The boat had been used primarily as a rowboat, however, and the centerboard, rudder and sails were in near new condition. I made a mahogany transom and seat, after which I took it for a sail. One of the former owners had repaired several cracks in the floor of the boat, but he apparently was not experienced in such repairs. I tightened the shrouds and in a brisk breeze, the floor suddenly cracked around the mast step. Before I could get to shore, the mast dropped through the bottom of the boat! I have photos of the damage and repairs on another page if you are interested: Kolibri Repair The photos below show the boat after repairs.

This boat is the same color as the second Kolibri that I owned in Austria, but that one had blue stripes on the mainsail. I bought it from the original owner with the original bill of sale and owners manual. He sold a larger sailboat in 1972 and bought the Kolibri, intending to purchase a trailer for it. That never happened and the Kolibri spent the next 36 years stored in his garage.

I sailed this boat once but used the rudder from my red Kolibri rather than the brand new one that came with this boat. I sold Kolibri #4 in September, 2009 with a nice aluminum trailer for $1600.  The owner later sold it and moved up to a larger vessel.

kolibri sailboat for sale

Kolibri #5 In May, 2010, someone wrote and asked if I was interested in a Kolibri. It needed much work but the rigging was mostly there. I went and picked it up of course! When new, it was like Kolibri #2 and #4, but this one is beyond repair! I sold the dagger, rudder and sails. I will use the mast and boom on another boat.

In summer, 2014, someone in canada gave me the complete rigging for a kolibri i already know where i can use most of the parts, but if someone gives me a good kolibri hull i may change my mind, other boats built by atlanta boats in germany atlanta boat works, germany (word document about the history), the flamingo 20, the 440 (15 ft) no photo - may be one of the varios the vario i, ii, iii and s models, whereby the "s" may be the vario i someone in california sent photos of this unknown atlanta 16.4' boat with the atlanta hummingbird (kolibri) and crown logo plus roman numeral v (5 meters). if anyone has more information, please send it to [email protected] the 550 (18 ft) sketch shown below, the koralle 15 (not to be confused with the koralle jr.) was only sold in europe, but this one is located in california., the mungo 10.
