The Graupner is a fully fiberglass hull, there were some chinese knock offs made in plastic but came new in box brittle an cracked easily to my knowledge they are no longer in production but a few websites in europe advertise them as still being sold, bare hull Ive found online going for around $100 used an a few sites that had them listed new for $150.
This one is supposedly a true graupner an DD has a good reputation on these forums so I believe it. Ive done some research on this boat an am excited to get her running, just exactly what I was looking for a little rigger to play with for a resonable cost. Since I had pretty much everything to set her up it works for me!
