Many halls, countless stands - a visit to a trade fair can quickly become confusing. When it comes to equipment, there are some innovations that only trade visitors have been able to see so far. We have put together some highlights with stand numbers to make them easier to find.
Award-winning lifejacket with more freeboard
With more buoyancy, a smaller pack size and a special lifebelt, the Hi-Lift 150N from TeamO has already won over the DAME jury. The lifejacket apparently works with additional buoyancy at the back, which lifts the upper body out of the water better and should ensure a stable swimming position with more freeboard. According to the jury, which includes German designer Klaus Roeder, this increase in performance means that the 150 Newton lifejacket even promises to surpass the ISO standard for a lifejacket with 275 Newtons of buoyancy. According to the experts, the redistribution of the volume of the buoyancy bladder makes the lifejacket slimmer overall, which increases user acceptance and makes the waistcoat easier to put on. The waistcoat is also equipped with TeamO's Backtow system, a recovery aid that also allows the MOB to be towed in the supine position.
The Hi-Lift from TeamO will be exhibited at the Sailtec GmbH stand in Hall 10 Stand H56.
New oilskin series from Musto
The new BR3 Offshore from Musto is designed to combine the advantages of the MPX Offshore and BR2 Offshore and offer high-performance functional clothing at a fair price. A cut that offers plenty of freedom of movement, lightweight Pertex fabric, YKK Aquaguard zips, a high collar and comfortable fleece patches on the chin are designed to protect sailors from the elements in coastal waters and on the high seas. The BR3 offshore trousers are designed to offer high breathability thanks to a Pertex Shield membrane and ensure an optimum fit with adjustable straps and waist. The jacket is available in the colours black, blue and red from S to XXL for 579 euros. The trousers are also available in black and red from S to XXL for 429 euros. Both garments are also available in a cut for female sailors. However, the trousers are only available in black and the jacket in black and blue.
Musto's new functional clothing will be on display at the Peter Frisch GmbH stand in Hall 10 Stand H21.
Compact clamp with high holding force
French fittings specialist Karver presents the KJS12, a very compact halyard stopper with enormous holding forces. Made from stainless steel and aluminium, the clamp is designed for rope diameters of up to 12 millimetres and is designed to hold up to 1.2 tonnes. The breaking load is two tonnes. These high values are achieved by two keel-shaped jaws that press further and further onto the line under load. The construction is designed for low rope wear and easy maintenance. The entire inner workings can be pulled out of the housing after loosening two screws without having to remove it from the deck. The clamp is operated via a pull loop, so it can easily be fitted with a remote release. However, the halyard must be winched on before the clamp can be opened. The price is 196 euros.
Karver's products will be exhibited at the Kohlhoff GmbH stand in Hall 10 Stand F39.
Compact wastewater treatment plant for on board
Enteron 50 is a fully biological mini sewage treatment plant for use on board. It can process faeces and toilet paper and is connected directly to the toilets. The system works fully automatically and without chemicals. As on land, the wastewater is treated in several stages using a bacterial strain in a bioreactor. The water is then disinfected using UV light. The system can treat 50 litres of black water per day. Price: from 10,000 euros.
The Enteron 50 will be exhibited at the Tom Logisch GmbH stand in Hall 10 Stand F31.
Safety for four-legged friends
Secumar has added life jackets for dogs to its range with the Secudogs line. They are fastened with a 4-point harness system and plenty of material on the belly to distribute the pressure well when lifting. The handle is usually the most important part of being able to rescue your four-legged friend. There are even two of them. Available in five sizes from 79.90 euros to 119.90 euros.
The Secudogs dog rescue waistcoat will be on display at the Secumar stand in Hall 10 H42.
50th anniversary collection at Gill.
Gill is presenting the new OS2 collection to mark its milestone birthday. With the anniversary logo, the new garments are available for men in black, navy, red and gold fusion and for women in black, navy, red and blue eggshell.
In addition to the new functional clothing, Gill also has new boat shoes in its programme with the Verso Race Trainer. The particularly lightweight and well-ventilated deck shoes are designed to offer good grip on board and come with drainage channels in the sole to allow water to run off quickly. The sporty shoes are available in black and grey in sizes 37 to 47. However, only one model in one size can be viewed at the trade fair so far. The Verso Race Trainers are still so new that stock will only be replenished in the coming weeks.
The Gill stand is located in Hall 10 Stand C55.
Lifejacket made from recycled material
Baltic has two new lifejackets in its range, the Hera and Epiq models. The Hera model is a solid buoyancy aid with 50 Newton buoyancy specially adapted to the anatomy of women. This ensures a comfortable fit. The waistcoat is fastened with a zip and strap and can be adjusted in size at the shoulders. It also has two pockets, one inside and one outside. Price: 100 euros.
The Epiq model is an automatic waistcoat with 165 Newton buoyancy. Recycled fibres are used in its manufacture. The price: 150 euros. Both waistcoats are available in four different colours. German distribution by Element 2.
The Baltic stand is located in Hall 11 Stand B21.
Emergency transmitter with new Class M standard
Ocean Signal manufactures two new MOB transmitters for integration into the lifejacket. The Rescue- Me MOB2 alerts via AIS and DSC distress call and has been expanded to include a new function: as soon as a confirmation of receipt of the distress call is received, it is no longer transmitted. The transmitter therefore fulfils the new Class M regulations that came into force in some EU countries at the end of 2024. Price: 459 euros.
Ocean Signal can be found at the Nordwest-Funk stand in Hall 10 Stand D18.
New jackets from Slam
With the Pro Racing Jacket, Slam has a particularly lightweight and high-performance oilskin in its programme. The manufacturer sees the target group as regatta sailors in inland and coastal areas. With a water column of 30,000 millimetres and a breathability of 8,000 grams per square metre in 24 hours, the jacket is designed to be particularly waterproof and ensure a good climate during high levels of activity. The three-layer fabric with Dermizax membrane is designed to ensure this.
The jacket is particularly lightweight with plenty of freedom of movement. Adjustable PU-coated cuffs, a high collar (measured according to the inshore and coastal categorisation) and an adjustable hood keep moisture out.
The Pro Racing Long John is the perfect match. The trousers are closed up to the chest and are also made from the three-layer nylon laminate. Adjustment options at the hips and trouser legs ensure a good fit. Fabric reinforcements on the seat, knees and hem minimise wear.
The jacket and trousers are available in the colour Black Ink in sizes from XS to XXL. The Pro Racing Jacket costs 500 euros, the Pro Racing Long John 450 euros.
Kohlhoff GmbH from Kiel is taking over the representation of the Italian sailing clothing brand Slam in Germany, Austria and Switzerland just in time for boot in Düsseldorf. Sailors can find the functional clothing at specialist retailers and online in the Slam shop.
The new sailing clothing can be viewed and tried on in Hall 10 at Stand F39 at the trade fair in Düsseldorf.
Life raft always ready for use
The Liferaft Cradle from Ocean Safety is a new mount for life rafts. The cradle is made of stainless steel tubing and can be installed on horizontal surfaces or on sloping or vertical surfaces such as the stern. The container with the liferaft lies in the holder and is secured with webbing. Price: 250 euros.
Ocean Safety can be found on the SOStechnic stand in Hall 11 Stand B41.
