The Gruben 17, often designated as the G17, is a versatile open sailing dinghy developed to bridge the gap between high-performance racing skiffs and stable family daysailers. Originally introduced in 2003 by the Bootswerft Gruben on the shores of Lake Constance (Bodensee), the model’s production was later acquired by BTM Marine Wassersport GmbH in 2020. Measuring 5.35 meters in length with a generous 2.02-meter beam, the G17 is engineered for safety and ease of use, making it a staple in German sailing schools and a popular choice for families seeking a "trekking" dinghy. Its construction utilizes hand-laid fiberglass (GRP) and incorporates built-in buoyancy tanks, rendering the vessel unsinkable according to official manufacturer specifications.
