Categories
1 Meter Class (IOM – International One Metre)
The International One Metre (IOM) class is one of the most competitive and respected categories in RC sailing worldwide.
Defined by strict class rules and a fixed hull length of one meter, the IOM class creates a unique balance between fairness and performance — where success depends on precision, setup, and real skill on the water.
It is the benchmark class for serious sailors, combining accessibility with a high level of competition.
Henning Konow has been competing in the IOM class for many years, with consistent participation in national rankings and regattas under the German Sailing Federation (DSV).
This long-term experience provides a deep understanding of hull behavior, sail dynamics, and performance optimization under real racing conditions.
At HK Boats, every IOM build reflects this knowledge — carefully designed, tested, and refined through competition.
Not built to follow standards — built to perform within them.
Marblehead Class (M-Class)
The Marblehead Class (M-Class) represents one of the most advanced and performance-driven categories in RC sailing.
Known for its larger size and greater design freedom, this class allows for continuous innovation in hull design, sail configuration, and overall performance optimization.
Compared to smaller classes, Marblehead boats demand a higher level of technical understanding and precision — both in construction and in racing.
Henning Konow has competed successfully in this class, achieving strong results in national-level regattas, including a Top 10 finish (7th place in Seeburg).
This experience reflects not only skill on the water, but also deep knowledge of how to design and tune high-performance boats under competitive conditions.
At HK Boats, this expertise is translated into carefully engineered builds, where performance is not accidental — it is designed.
Built for those who demand more than standard.
About HK Boats
I’m Henning Konow, a competitive RC sailor with over 18 years
of experience.
I design and build high-performance boats based on real racing
conditions — not theory.
Every detail is tested on the water to deliver precision,
reliability, and speed.
Over time, I learned that true performance does not come from standard parts — it comes from understanding every detail.
HK Boats was created from this mindset:
to build high-quality boats and components tested under real
conditions.
Today, I share this experience with customers, enthusiasts, and future builders.
