Thor Heyerdahl

Tall ship Thor Heyerdahl from Kiel

The Kiel-based three-mast schooner, “Thor Heyerdahl”, was launched in the Netherlands in 1930 as a freight motorsailer and was converted into a sailing ship with the rigging of a topsail schooner between 1979 and 1983. Since then it has served as a floating educational facility for teenagers and young adults.

During a later general overhaul and maintenance, VVG/HONSEL supported the under-deck outfitting with stainless steel blind rivets.

Team Stealth Motorsport

The local Stealth Motorsport Team is currently making a name for itself in sprint racing with a cult E36 Series BMW.

HONSEL riveting technology has made it possible here to significantly reduce weight and service time – true to the motto “riveting rather than bolting”.

Launch speed of the hybrid-powered rocket, which is over five meters long and weighs 91 kilograms: Mach 1.2!
