A retractable ketch designed by the great Germán Frers. Fast and easy to handle. Very good maintenance conditions. Reduced price.

The great Germán Frers, father and grandfather respectively of the two great designers today, had a dazzling career in his native Argentina and many of the ships he designed were built several units. The Scorpion is an almost twin of the Horizon that Frers designed for personal use. Both ships honored their creator with a cruise around the world the first and two crossings of the Atlantic and a sports life the second, which still shines today in the racing fields of classic ships. Mr. Adolfo Züberbuler asked Frers to design the Huaglen and build it in the Gomez and Gutierrez Shipyard with which he collaborated throughout his life and from which he was even the owner. That ship was built in 1943, a year after its almost twin. For this purpose, typical local woods, such as Lapacho (or Pau d'Arco) of great specific weight, were used for roda, keel and codaste. The Viraró was lighter and flexible and very resistant to moisture, for the lining. Frers designed a retractable keel, very in the mouthpiece on the American ships of always, with lines of the flat hull in stern, but equipped with a marked keel that stores the retractable part. This way, this is not seen inside the boat. A few years after his boot, the Huaglen changed as owner, when he was acquired by D. Carlos Baradaco who also changed his name in Ploush. With the Ploush, Mr. Baradaco crossed the Atlantic and based it on Palma de Mallorca, where he participated in numerous races every year until 1963. Following a disease, Carlos Baradaco sold the Ploush to Don José Luis Pérez Albert who renamed him as Carolus II. As such, he also ran many important races, obtaining good results, as it is a very fast boat. The Carolus II was the Mediterranean Champion at the 1st Class in 1964 and a plaque still remembers it at the central entrance. This particular tambucho, in lateral position starboard in the cabin, was very typical from old from the high boats. In fact, the English call it an oceanic tambucho and it is in the ideal position when the ship sails to starboard. The current owner of the boat met Mr. Perez Albert and shipped at Carolus II. In 1968, the Carolus II changed his landlord again and D. José María Padró renamed him Scorpion. Mr. Padró was a passionate sailor, whether from cruise than from race. In 1974 he founded the National Cruise Association (after Real) and was his first president until 1984. It was then, when leaving the races aside, he prepared the Scorpion for the return to the world, then even more adventurous than today, by missing almost all kinds of facilities on the way. Some stages shared them with friends such as Jacinto and Nena Viladomíu who wrote their interesting adventures in a magnificent book, today almost impossible to find. His current owner bought the Scorpion in 1992, on the return of the trip and since then he has used it for cruises all over the Mediterranean, to Greece and in regattas of the C.I.M. Championship (then Trofeo Prada). Ten years later, in 2002, the Scorpion again crossed the Atlantic, participating in the classic race of the Ancient Week. To do this, he received earlier a series of arrangements and revisions that allowed him to make even the return trip smoothly. Today, the Scorpion is in excellent general conditions, only requires aesthetic care, ready to sail for new adventures.
