OcCre Gorch Fock – German training ship with elegant sailing-school character
OcCre Gorch Fock is a wooden model ship kit in 1/95 scale, representing the current cadet training ship of the German Navy. The vessel was built at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg, based on plans for the previous 1933 version, and launched on 23 August 1958.
For retailers, Gorch Fock is an interesting complement to older historical sailing ships. The model has a clear training and sailing-tradition profile rather than a warship or pirate theme, making it attractive to customers who appreciate clean ship lines, maritime education history and classic sail training vessels.
With 4212 parts and an estimated build time of around 700 hours, Gorch Fock is an advanced project for dedicated model builders. Its connection to Kiel and participation in events organised by the Sail Training Association give the model a living modern maritime identity, making it easy to position as an elegant training ship within a varied ship model assortment.
