BIRTH OF THE 12000 SERIE
For Alberto Lineburger, the story of the 12,000 began with the invitation letter of SAVEL in October 1958, requesting the budget for the construction of twenty super-snipes.In addition to building twenty ships in 11 months, the Lineburger Shipyard also needed to build a new shed, since the facilities at that time did not carry such a job, which had a good workforce, reminding them in honor of: Ricardo Lineburger, Mario Potrikos, Adolfo Pizzetti and Pedro Hefraim Saint Helena. The boats, submitted to the measurement committee of the event, were approved according to Snipe Class specifications, based on Sheet A, revised on March 15, 1959, were constructed with Timbaúva wood, high density perfectly replaced the cedar until then used in the construction of helmets.
The timbaúvas came from Santa Catarina, pre-selected by the father of Alberto, Whilhelm Lineburger, who resided in Criciúma SC, the keel and the trincaniz were of cedar, the deck was of Getha pine, all the components were glued with Cascophen SA). Build 20 masts, booms. rudders, cane of lemons, subtimons, rudders and dick of spinakers were also a challenge in series.​ 
The snipes emerged, imposing and differentiated only, at that time, by the color of their helmet. They were accommodated, as they were ready, in another shed, each awaiting his story to be written in the waters. The official birth was in October 1959 - where they symmetrically occupied the sidewalk of Sargento street Nicolau Dias de Farias, in Porto Alegre RS - same block of the headquarters of the Club of Jangadeiros.From then on, each one has a different story and some of them, 60 years later, still refuse to return to the sheds - and continue sailing!It is these timeless ties that are built with the 'wooden souls' that motivate us to continue to transform their stories into restored, unique and special memories.​
