- A100 is a 100-metre dyna-rigged two-master with a full-width main deck that offers maximum interior space like large motor yachts.  
- The owner's suite and spacious guest and leisure areas with beach club, diving room and storage space for water toys structure the spatial concept.  
- Two free-standing DynaRig masts and an efficient energy concept are designed to combine sailing performance, easy handling and more environmentally friendly superyacht use.

- Despite an increase in available permanent berths from 419 to 486, many harbours, especially in Schleswig-Holstein, remain full with long waiting lists.
- Berth prices vary greatly from region to region: differences of €20-70/m² and up to €1,750 per year for 12 metre yachts; guests pay €14-40 per night.
- Infrastructure is mostly good (e.g. 74.7% mast crane, 87% catering), but only 41% have automatic pay stations; additional costs for sanitary facilities in some cases.

- The 2027 World Sailing Championships will be split for the first time: Single-handed/board disciplines in Fortaleza in January, double-handed classes in Gdynia in July/August.  
- The reason for the split is organisational challenges; World Sailing expects better venues, conditions and more inclusivity.  
- With the World Sailing World Championships, The Ocean Race, 38th America's Cup and SailGP events, 2027 is regarded as a sailing super year with top-class global sport.

- Navimetrix offers cross-platform, professional weather routing with isochrones, interactive routing, AI briefings and strong AIS integration.  
- Sea charts come separately via GeoGarage as raster charts with regional subscriptions, without seamless country transitions and with sometimes cumbersome handling.  
- Premium costs €79.99/year plus GeoGarage from €25/region and is aimed at regatta and ambitious cruising sailors as a cheaper professional alternative.

- Oceantec 43: 13.30 metre performance cruiser with swing keel (1.25/3.10 m), twin rudders, fathead mainsail and powerful rig for variable performance.  
- Simple interior, reminiscent of the Dehler 38, with fore-and-aft galley, large shower room, navigation corner and owner's cabin in the foredeck without a second wet room.  
- Two guest cabins aft with swivelling tubular berths and separable, removable mattresses; shipyard specialises in high-quality vacuum-injection constructions.

- BlueCool-VX is a speed-controlled chiller system with precise load management and high efficiency for yachts to superyachts.  
- Titanium heat exchangers and three ECO modes ensure durability, finely adjustable performance and low energy consumption during harbour and sea stays.  
- Modular combination of up to six units (36-120 BTU/h); example Lagoon Eighty 2 with pre-installed plug-and-play modules to reduce installation work.

Air conditioning: Modular cooling technology with high efficiency

- Woy 28 is a habitable, more price-conscious version of the sporty Woy 26 in moulded construction with wood overlaminate.  
- With a displacement of 1.5 tonnes, 0.6 tonne bomb keel, carbon fin and 45.5 m² sail area, the Woy 28 is designed as a smooth racer.  
- Equipment: carbon rig, carbon rudder, 3 kW electric pod motor, lifting keel (2.00-1.05 m draught), large cockpit, four berths below deck.

- At the halfway stage of the Trofeo Princesa Sofía, Germany is in eleventh place in the nations' rankings, with nine GER boats in the top ten in Olympic classes.  
- Scheel/Feilcke (49erFX) are second overall, Schweckendiek (ILCA 7) third behind Wearn and Beckett; several other German crews in the top ten.  
- Difficult, shifty, strong wind conditions characterise the first half; lighter winds are expected for the second half, which suits Schweckendiek.

- A young humpback whale repeatedly becomes stranded in the Baltic Sea, is given the name "Timmy" and attracts enormous media and public attention worldwide.
- Extensive rescue attempts using dredgers, boats, experts and activists fail; the weakened whale becomes increasingly unresponsive to help.
- The case raises questions about human co-responsibility, the limits of rescue operations and the tension between emotion, nature and powerlessness.

Timmy in distress: A humpback whale in the wrong area

- Hallberg-Rassy surprisingly announces a 39-foot catamaran "Hallberg-Rassy 39Cat", breaking with the monohull tradition.
- The shipyard itself emphasises the disadvantages of the catamaran: worse in the wind, more port space required, more difficult to manoeuvre, no space for sprayhood.
- Orders and deliveries are only scheduled for 1 April, price figure SEK 20,260,401 refers tongue-in-cheek to the date 2026-04-01.

- Helgoland is to become the start and finish harbour of a new round-the-world race "Helgoland Round the World Race" for several offshore classes.  
- Planned course: from Heligoland via several European harbours, then classic via the three large capes and back; connection to German Olympic bids.  
- The aim is to raise Heligoland's global profile; prominent sailors and experts such as Boris Herrmann and local regatta stars have signalled their support.

Circumnavigation: Exclusive - Heligoland Round the World Race planned

- Sea boots age in the cupboard: soles harden, lose grip and suddenly slip away from an incline of 12-14° - acute risk of falling.  
- Grinding brittle soles only improves grip to a limited extent (e.g. from 13° to 25°) and is only suitable as a short-term emergency solution at best.  
- Repair depends on the sole construction: Shell soles often cannot be repaired, flat soles can usually be replaced; costs 60-120 euros.
