Koralle JR. (Kolibri)

Koralle JR. (Kolibri) is a 11 ′ 10 ″ / 3.6 m monohull sailboat built by Atlanta Bootsbau starting in 1970.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

The KORALLE JR. was built in Germany and exported to US as (KOLIBRI = Hummingbird ??) The KOLIBRI II was built by Glenmore Sailboats Ltd. of Canada. Another boat, probably of the same design, is the ECHO 12, built in Canada. A utility dinghy that can be rowed and accept a small outboard. This record was previously listed as KOLIBRI (KORALLE JR.).

My five kolibris, these are great little boats; a little fragile around rocks, but fast and fun to sail click on the thumbprints below for details.

Kolibri # 1 (Kolibri is German for hummingbird)

The year was 1984. i was killing time in a hardware store while getting broken windows repaired. an ad on the store's bulletin board caught my eye and i stopped for a closer look. someone wanted to sell a 12' "kolibri" sailboat for only $250. it even had a car-top loading device and dolly. i looked, bought and was hooked on sailing for life.

The boat had no trailer, so I bought another small boat with a trailer and sold the boat for what I paid for both.

Kolibri # 2

About ten years later, i found an orange kolibri that had hardly been used. i sold the yellow boat for twice what i paid for it. for 18 years, my wife, our children and grandchildren enjoyed sailing our kolibri..

It was not a happy day in 2002 when I finally sold our little "Hummingbird," but we were retiring to the USA and couldn't take it with us. After settling in America, I began looking for another Kolibri. The German-built Kolibri was sold in America for a number of years, sometimes under the name "Koralle Jr." but the few that I found on the Internet were too far away. Glenmore Boats of Canada continued making the Kolibri with a few changes and another Canadian company built the "Echo," which is nearly identical, but a new boat was was not in my budget. More recently I have learned of a "Koralle II Sunsail" and a "Freedom Seeker 12" that were apparently from the same mold.

I owned several canoes and sailboats (see other tabs), but it was four years before i finally found another kolibri. on july 29, 2007, i saw an ad on craigslist for a koralle jr. located just across the delaware river in philadelphia. i responded immediately and on july 31, i towed my trophy home, when the former owner heard that i was "downsizing" and had a mutineer 15 for sale, he came and bought it. here are photos of both boats in our driveway..

The boat had been stored outside without protection, so the seat and transom were badly weathered. The boat had been used primarily as a rowboat, however, and the centerboard, rudder and sails were in near new condition. I made a mahogany transom and seat, after which I took it for a sail. One of the former owners had repaired several cracks in the floor of the boat, but he apparently was not experienced in such repairs. I tightened the shrouds and in a brisk breeze, the floor suddenly cracked around the mast step. Before I could get to shore, the mast dropped through the bottom of the boat! I have photos of the damage and repairs on another page if you are interested: Kolibri Repair The photos below show the boat after repairs.

This boat is the same color as the second Kolibri that I owned in Austria, but that one had blue stripes on the mainsail. I bought it from the original owner with the original bill of sale and owners manual. He sold a larger sailboat in 1972 and bought the Kolibri, intending to purchase a trailer for it. That never happened and the Kolibri spent the next 36 years stored in his garage.

I sailed this boat once but used the rudder from my red Kolibri rather than the brand new one that came with this boat. I sold Kolibri #4 in September, 2009 with a nice aluminum trailer for $1600.  The owner later sold it and moved up to a larger vessel.

Kolibri #5 In May, 2010, someone wrote and asked if I was interested in a Kolibri. It needed much work but the rigging was mostly there. I went and picked it up of course! When new, it was like Kolibri #2 and #4, but this one is beyond repair! I sold the dagger, rudder and sails. I will use the mast and boom on another boat.

In summer, 2014, someone in canada gave me the complete rigging for a kolibri i already know where i can use most of the parts, but if someone gives me a good kolibri hull i may change my mind, other boats built by atlanta boats in germany atlanta boat works, germany (word document about the history), the flamingo 20, the 440 (15 ft) no photo - may be one of the varios the vario i, ii, iii and s models, whereby the "s" may be the vario i someone in california sent photos of this unknown atlanta 16.4' boat with the atlanta hummingbird (kolibri) and crown logo plus roman numeral v (5 meters). if anyone has more information, please send it to [email protected] the 550 (18 ft) sketch shown below, the koralle 15 (not to be confused with the koralle jr.) was only sold in europe, but this one is located in california., the mungo 10.

Manufacturer:, hull colour:.

This 1988 Glenmore Kolibri is in good condition and it comes with a nice set of sails made by Sobstad. The boat is $2,750 or with the trailer $3,250

Let customers speak for us

I have not had the opportunity to try these yet but they look like good quality and were delivered on time.

Did received my boat and it was in excellent condition.

Just received the order so I haven't had time or weather yet to try it out, but I really appreciated the follow-up call to be sure we had received the shipment.

I actually purchased this top to install on a Maxxon packable watercraft, knowing that it would fit, due to past experience with a Kolibri boat tent. Very pleased with my purchase: lightweight, provides good protection against sun and rain, compact when folded. Width of poles is 48 inches, which allows installation on most compact boats.

I really liked this service and the quality of the boat is great!

Unbelievable quality and great value!

Received the boat in 2 well packed boxes. The boat in one box, the transom and floor in the other. Each has its own carrying case. I'm happy with what i see but i will have to review the boat when i use it in warmer weather as it is winter here now. Thank you Kolibri Team

For fun in Zimbabwe

C’est exactement le type de bateau que j’avais besoin! Ça prend pas beaucoup d’eau et avec un 9.9 ça va à 22 mph. Bonne grosseur 2 adultes et 1 enfant mais même à 3-4 adultes ça fait l’affaire. Merci Anton !

Picked up at warehouse,no problem. Been using it often. Light enough for me to load alone in back of pick up truck.

Great little dingy. However, the seat was slippery so I had to put on slip tape on it. Ok now.

This float tube is in fact a small frameless pontoon due to the ability to row. Other pontoons are typically larger/heavier, which increases setup time, and more sensitive to wind. Most other pontoons are made of a bladder/fabric combination that takes hours to dry. When I am done fishing I can wipe down the Kolibri in one minute, place it inflated in the back of my SUV, and go home without worrying about mildew. For my application this was the right product. Delivery was fast. Thank you Anton.

Great boat!!!

Bien content d’avoir acheté mon pneumatique chez Kolibri… facile à gonfler, rames d’excellente qualité, grand plaisir sur l’eau!!! Bureau à Montréal 5 ans de garantie wow!!!!!

Very nice Boat hand some handles great in the Water love it
