Hundested Bådebyggeri; cover, cost and conditions
The name stands for Poul Molich's boatyard in Hundested, at the mouth of the Isefjord north west of Copenhagen. Molich designed and built his own boats, and his yard was known for meticulous work and for making almost every part of a vessel in house rather than buying it in. His name is tied to the Molich X, also called the 10 Meter, a Danish one-design class. Class literature calls her Scandinavia's answer to the International One Design, and she still races in classic fleets across northern Europe. The boat is easy to spot: a long, very slim hull, a low coachroof and a tall rig.
Our model records list one design, the Molich 10 meter sailing yacht, with build years from 1969 to 1997 and a length of 12 metres. Specialist sources give the Molich X a building period from 1972 to 1993 and an overall length just under 12 metres. Her waterline is about 10 metres and her beam only some 2.5 metres. She was built in glassfibre with a sloop rig and a little over 40 square metres of sail. Ballast makes up almost half of a displacement of about 3.7 tonnes, and draught is 1.6 metres. Conceived as a fast racer, she has also proved herself as a seaworthy cruiser. The entry does not reach recent build years.
A narrow, heavily ballasted boat like the Molich X heels early and then stiffens, which makes her a joy upwind and a wet ride in a short sea. Interior space is modest for her length, so she suits sailors who value speed over cabin room. When buying, look at keel bolts and the keel to hull joint, chainplates and mast step, since many boats have been raced hard for decades. Class rules can affect what has been changed over the years, so ask about measurement papers if you want to race. The build quality from Hundested is well regarded, but deck fittings and their bedding still need checking.
