Art made of plastic: The latest motorboat project from the Knierim shipyard in Kiel is the elegant 36 Runabout - ultra-modern boat building with classic lines.

They can do it, the Beiderbecks and Knierims. The Knierim 36, designed in Bremen and built in Kiel using the sandwich construction method, is a good example of this. It's true that mixing classic shapes and modern technology is all the rage at the moment, and many people are doing it, but few can do it as well as the Kiel team, who work excellently with fine woods and plastic for the 11.50 metre long runabout.

And in such a way that the hull and the powerful (maximum 2 x 370 hp) diesel engines, which stand in front of Duoprop Z-drives, harmonise perfectly with each other. Perfect means: fast (46 knots) and suitable for rough water. In terms of comfort, the highlights are the convertible (double bed) seating area, shower room, a cockpit table that "pops up and down" at the touch of a button, the espresso machine and the well-chilled "wine cellar".
