- Around 14,800 visitors and 170 exhibitors at the Ancora Yacht Festival 2026, the target of 18,000 guests was missed and the downward trend continues.
- The in-water format focussing on cruising yachts is considered unique in Germany; numerous innovations such as the Linjett 36 and Bavaria Voyager 45 made their debut.
- Around 100 exhibitors showcased technology and over 90 presentations dealt with practical and safety topics; the next event is scheduled for 28 to 30 May 2027.

Ancora Yacht Festival: Fewer guests in Neustadt, but a good atmosphere

- According to Sven M. Rutter, marine radio remains essential, not only for emergencies, but above all to clarify uncertainties and avoid risky situations.
- Many skippers shy away from radioing for fear of making mistakes and strict radio discipline, but prepared radio messages and the use of channel 16 according to the standard can help.
- A radio certificate is mandatory as soon as a marine radio system is on board; in an emergency, however, anyone can use the radio, even without a corresponding certificate.

- Timm Kruse obtains the internationally recognised RYA Yachtmaster Offshore in Malta, although this is not valid in France.
- The demanding training programme includes rigorous theory, intensive practical days, an English-language exam and a high level of experience.
- It costs around 5,000 euros and takes about two weeks; Kruse also wants to use the licence commercially as a skipper in the future.

Yachtmaster Offshore: "They want to get you through, but you have to perform"

- SRC is required for VHF marine radio on pleasure craft with radio equipment, UBI for inland radio on rivers, canals and lakes.  
- Examinations include translations, multiple choice and practical radio messages; pure memorisation is not enough for safe radio communication.  
- Routine and safety come from regular practice: listen in, speak, know the equipment, have emergency call schemes ready and use every radio opportunity.
