She was built by Baumgartner and Wain which later became Burmeister \u0026amp; Wain. This company had earlier built two steamers, and Hjejlen was, in her time, a technical marvel. The originally installed machinery is that in use today. Hjejlen can attain a speed of 8 knots an hour\". At one time she bore a tall mast after the fashion of the day and this was the only decoration to relieve her otherwise smooth - lines - the wheelhouse and roof are of a much more recent date. Later mast was replaced by funnel. After this time several changes took place. A sun-sail was used but later changed to a permanent roof and it is after the altered plans that the model is made, so that it is true is a copy of the » Hjejlen », which sails on the lakes around Silkeborg today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale 1:33 \u003cbr\u003eLength 85cm \u003cbr\u003eBeam 17cm \u003cbr\u003eHeight: 19cm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Billing Boats kit of the Hjejlen features: plank on frame construction, laser cut plywood keel and frame components, wooden superstructure and decks, hull and deck fittings in wood, brass and\/or plastic, rigging cord in various sizes.
