In the late 1960s and 1970s the Carina was a very successful model and one of the most popular pocket cruisers in Germany. First built in plywood with a hard chine, beginning in 1966 the boats were built using FG and offered with either a hard chine or rounded frame. In 1968, hulls were only built with a round-frame with keel, twin keel or keel-centreboard. In the 1970s also built with forecastle deck.
