Lecture: Norbert Sedlacek Koch as a guest at the German Superyacht Conference

Our sister magazine BOOTE EXCLUSIV is organising the 11th German Superyacht Conference (GSC) on 23 February at the Hotel Hafen Hamburg. After it was recently announced that Raphael Sauleau has left the Fraser brokerage house and will therefore no longer be able to appear at the GSC, an adequate replacement speaker had to be found. An interesting new guest was found in adventurer, circumnavigator and innovation driver Robert Sedlacek Koch.

The Managing Director of Innovation Yachts will tell the 150 conference participants about new and recyclable materials in yacht building and share his many years of expertise in the field of vulcanised fibres. In particular, suppliers such as interior fitters could benefit from the material obtained from nature, also thanks to its excellent fire resistance.
