Karl and Marie is a typical German freight boat which were built from the 18th century for use in the East sea. This type of boat is called the Galeasses, but was nothing to do with the Mediterranean Galeasses. The wide hull allows for a large cargo and was extremely stable but not very fast.

All building problems are solved by the use of very detailed building plans, drawings and an instruction manual especially for the beginner.
