The Porpoise
Rich friends give him the "Porpoise" as a birthday present. Einstein lovingly calls the boat my "fat sailing ship". He is a good sailor and likes to sail alone. And although he cannot swim, he refuses to wear a life jacket. For this reason, his family are always worried when he is off on his boat.

The original Porpoise no longer exists. You can see a replica of the sailing boat in the picture.
