German 8-KR sailboats 1960\'s

Hello, I am looking for someone with knowledge of the above. I am researching the class and interested in the single mast versions of these cruiser / racers.
The web has a few pictures and one article. I am after pictures of deck layout / cabin and aft areas and general arrangements.
I am in the process of building a working model and would welcome a response.
I am happy to email pictures of my J class yacht Endeavour at just over a metre loa sailing to show I take my hobby seriously, I have had Classic Boat Magazine from the early days, and only occasionally get a chance to get on the water
regards to all Roy

Hi Roy,
the best you can do is to contact the guys in charge of the german Classic Yacht Club. That's a virtual affair and the web-address is:
http://www.fky.org/english.htm

They have a Yacht register with all types of boats listed - ranging from little skiffs up to 12mR.
http://www.fky.org/yachtregister.htm

The best idea would be to either contact Ingo (ingo.list@web.de), Wilfried (whorns@t-online.de) or post your request at their forum:
http://www.fky.org/forum-neu/

Don't be afraid to post in english as most people there are able to converse in english.

Hi,

at www.fky.org you find our register of existing 8KRs. At

You find the complete register of ALL 8KR-Yachts. At www.yachting-history.org we have aditionally scanned all issues of the German Yacht-magazine from 1904 to 1959 (about 60,000 pages) that can be searched in fulltext.

At http://www.fky.org/prestodata/execsearch...mp;language=eng
you find all 14 pages where 8KR is part of the article's title.
