YACHT 8/2026: Adventure cruises, boat reports and tips for sailing in old age

The current issue of YACHT 10/2026 contains several travel reports that awaken wanderlust. The focus is on three trips that could hardly be more different: In the second part of his long-distance report, editor Morten Strauch describes the passage from the Azores across the English Channel to the North Sea. No land in sight for days, the sea sometimes calm, sometimes choppy - an experience of a lifetime, as he writes.

Veronica Skotnes sails single-handed to Finnmark and finds her dream sailing area in the high latitudes. A report on a Cyclades cruise full of unplanned twists and turns shows how quickly weather and plans can change in Greece. And for those who like it closer to home: a current report provides a comprehensive overview of the most important innovations along the German North Sea coast: from Emden to Sylt, sailors can find out what the season has in store for them on the coast.

Lagoon 38 replaces bestseller

The Lagoon 380 has been sold over 1,000 times. Now the world's largest catamaran shipyard is presenting its successor. The test of the Lagoon 38 shows what's new and improved about the shipyard's smallest model. At the same time, we take a look at the latest multihull trends: the multihull trade fair in La Grande-Motte marks the start of the season for catamarans and trimarans. In this issue, we show the latest models and explain where the market is heading.

Classics with history

P-class yachts were popular in the USA 100 years ago. Today, they are celebrating their comeback in Europe. Two men have a soft spot for these classics. They have already saved four P-class yachts from decay. Their passion is proving to be contagious, as the report shows.

The revised CNB 68 and the sporty Esse 890 round off the new boats in this issue. A special boat can be found at the end of the magazine: Friedensreich Hundertwasser was a gifted yet unconventional artist. Only a few people know that he created a boat. The YACHT editorial team visited the "Regentag" and presents the work of art.

Practical things for everyday life on board

The issue is also dedicated to practical topics for everyday life on board. In the second part of the series on sailing in old age, the editorial team explains what equipment is useful to make everyday life on board easier.

And: Worn soles of expensive sea boots and sailing shoes can be renewed - an article on board shoes shows how this works. Fittingly: Over time, textured decks become dirty and lose their slip resistance. Both can be restored with a little effort, as the article on deck care explains.
