Current collector's item: The special edition reflects the current boat market
This weekend boot Düsseldorf would have ended. The replacement for the cancellation: the YACHT special test issue with the latest yachts and innovations

Printed paper may not replace a physical boat visit, but it has other strengths: take your time to look at the current boat market, compare and read the reviews and assessments of Europe's largest sailing magazine. Our team has also already tested most of the potential trade fair premieres.

This special edition of YACHT provides you with a compendium that is unrivalled. The magazine bundles compact tests of 100 selected boats available on the market. They are the distillation of the major YACHT tests and enriched with current reports. This applies to such important yachts as Jeanneau's Sun Odyssey 380, Beneteau's Oceanis 34.1, the Hanse 460 and the Dufour 32, which would have been world premieres at boot.

This selection is not based on the size of the shipyard or the number of units, but represents a cross-section of the market. We have divided the collection into cruising yachts, small cruisers, performance cruisers, daysailers, multihulls and luxury yachts. Each of the boats presented here has been sailed, inspected and assessed by us, and all photos were taken by YACHT photographers. As always, we have refrained from including shipyard statements and illustrations. With this anthology, which will be followed by others on various topics, you will be able to bundle together a wealth of knowledge, data and evaluations for a good overview.

If you want more information, plans and photos, the QR code printed with the technical data will take you quickly to the big YACHT test. Simply scan it with your mobile phone and after a few clicks you will have landed in the largest database on the subject of boat tests, the YACHT archive, which is available to subscribers free of charge.
