Kormoran/Crescetn Skipper info requested

[gyrowoody]

Hi all ;

I have bought a small trailer sailer which appears to be a Crescent Skipper. However, on doing some rsearch there is an identical (even down to the colour sceme)type of boat around called the Kormoran.

I know the crescent skipper was made in Scandinavia, but I have heard the Kormoran was built in Poland?????

Anyone on this forum who might know some more info on either of these, perhaps owns one?
Anyone who has (had) one of these boats has any useful owners' info/handling tips/ sailing do's and don'ts for a newbie first boat ?
I did post this also on another thread in another section, but no reaction thus far.

Your help is much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Woody

As you may have found out Crescent is a swedish factury and the Skipper is boat made only af few years in the 70'ties (probably from '74 - '78, notthing certain) It's not easy to find any information at all. But, they still manufacture a lot of small outboard boats. I found their homepage last year, searching for data, when I bought my Skipper. But there were no information about old models.
Googelsearch a coupple of times a last year, I saw 3 - 4 of them for sale. 2 in Denmark and some in Sweden...
I'm quite satified with my Skipper. I think I made a good deal. But like you, I very much like to know more about it.
