The Dehler 38, which has been built around 400 times, is a firm favourite in the growing performance cruiser segment. The new SQ version of the longest-serving model in the range has the option of double aft stays and a fathead main. The cockpit ergonomics have been optimised, the interior surfaces modernised, the hull windows enlarged and many details improved. The price is comparatively favourable. Test: YACHT 13/21.
The yacht builders in Lunderskov, Denmark, have gone for a visually gentle yet fundamental line update and have modified the hull shape of their beautiful, slim Faurby 363E; the revised boat is now offered as the Faurby 370. The hull has become higher and longer with the update. The extra volume provides a completely new feeling of space, especially below deck, and significantly more room in all living areas. The Faurby 370 is available with tiller or wheel steering, depending on preference.
There is probably no such thing as the perfect cruising yacht, but with the new Hallberg-Rassy 400, the yacht builders in Sweden have come pretty close to the ideal. The coherent concept, the strong performance under sail and the proven good quality (test YACHT 18/2021) are proof of this. Incidentally, the Hallberg-Rassy 400 shares its hull with its sister model, the 40C (YACHT 3/2020 test), which will also be presented at the yacht festival in Neustadt. The Hallberg-Rassy 340 and 44 models will also be on display, as well as the new 50 (YACHT 16/2021 test), another important première.
More comfort, more speed, more style: with the latest version of the volume boat in the eleven-metre class, the shipyard is improving on the tried and tested. The hull has remained the same, as has the basic idea of the fast but easy-to-sail boat. The designers at Judel/Vrolijk and Hanseyachts have improved much of the rest, both outside on deck and inside. The test report can be read in issue 23/2019. Also on show from Hanse at the yacht festival in Neustadt are the 348 and 508 models.

Jeanneau's upmarket yacht line is aimed at a discerning clientele and sets itself apart from the Sun Odyssey touring programme. The design plans were drawn up by Philippe Briand. Andrew Winch took care of the styling. The Jeanneau Yachts 60 is available in different versions for different uses, for example in a blue water version with a targa bracket and a fixed bimini over the cockpit. For the interior, the shipyard has developed a variety of versions with three to a total of six cabins. Jeanneau also has the Sun Odyssey 410 in its luggage for the trade fair in Neustadt.
The new model from the Rosättra shipyard in Sweden combines the traditionally high production quality with more space and ease of operation. All sheets, halyards and trim lines are led below deck to the two helm stations. The elegant design with the sportiness typical of the brand comes from Oscar Södergren. Either an overlapping genoa or a self-tacking jib can be fitted. The standard interior layout is classic for this size of boat, with three double cabins and a wet room.
