Looking for a new boat? Find a Hobrojollen or similar boat for sale
Both the hull and the deck is made of hand laid fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of hand laid fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.
The interior is like nearly all boats made of wood.
The boat is equipped with 2 berths.
Note: the boat has also been sold to be self-made/-interiored, which means that the quality of each boat may vary.
Unknown keel type
Hobrojollen can sail close to the beach as the draft is just 0.38 - 0.48 meter (1.25 - 1.55 ft) dependent of the load. See immersion rate below.
The Hobrojollen has been equipped with different engine alternatives.
Alternative 1:
The boat may be equipped with an inboard Yanmar diesel engine at 7 hp (5 kW). Max speed is 7.0 knots.
Alternative 2:
The boat may be equipped with an inboard Bukh DV10LME diesel engine at 10 hp (7 kW).
The fuel tank, which is made of fibreglass, has a capacity of 15.0 liters (3 US gallons, 3 imperial gallons).
Sailing characteristics
This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.
The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level.
The immersion rate for Hobrojollen is about 67 kg/cm, alternatively 375 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 67 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm.
Alternatively, if you load 375 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
