Knud Hjelmberg Reimers was born in Århus, Denmark and educated as a shipwright in Germany at Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in the twenties, a yard building large sailing and motoryachts at the time.
[5] Reimers went on to design cruisers, offshore racers and a large number of exclusive sailing and motor yachts.
Sensa is given as a 5m class; 6m designs are mentioned; a number of individual boats to Reimers' designs are listed on the Australian square metre association website,[19] e.g. Wings 44’, 1938/ Joyous- plans 1958/ Lady in Red: similarly, Jibslist[33] mentions the 41' GOTA (original project name for the S30) and the 42'8" SCHARENKREUZER 40S.
Landfall / Flicka- in April, 1937, Reimers ordered the first 4 Albatross to be built by Oscar Schelin, Kungsors Batvarv, Sweden.
[42][better source needed] As of February, 2017, this remarkable boat is 79 years old, has had 10 owners and four names; she is (2017) being restored as Flicka in Port Hadlock, Washington.
