She is the largest yacht ever built by the traditional Swedish shipyard in Ellös and will also be the largest vessel at the boot Düsseldorf trade fair. The detailed test report on the new Hallberg-Rassy 69 will be published in YACHT 3/2024
The French have brought two important premieres to the trade fair in Düsseldorf. You can read the test report on the purely regatta-oriented Sun Fast 30 One Design in YACHT 3/2024, while the yacht builders from the French Atlantic coast are now bringing an exciting boat for the popular ten-metre class with a walkaround cockpit in the form of the highly topical Sun Odyssey 350.
The Maxus 35 was recently presented in a test. With this flagship, the Northman shipyard in Poland wants to declare war on the established competition. With its well-rounded concept, high quality and good price, this could work.
With the Swan 58, the Finnish luxury brand is presenting a sample of its exclusive and wide range of elegant and high-performance cruising yachts in Düsseldorf.
After the rather radical Sunbeam 32.1, the shipyard at Mattsee in Austria has now launched another, slightly smaller daysailer. Compared to its bigger sister, the Sunbeam 29.1 from Jakopin & Jakopin has a similar but more moderate design language. The boat comes with a swivelling keel and two rudder blades. The interior is open, and a toilet room and galley are optional.
The daysailer specialists in France are presenting another boat from designer Michele Molino in Düsseldorf. The Tofinou 7.9 is available with either a fixed or swivelling keel. And a built-in diesel or an electric motor is possible.
The small, cuddly coastal cruiser Baycruiser 21 with a canting keel has the typical brand DNA of the Welsh shipyard with its classic clinker look and the strong deck moulding. Another world premiere on the Rhine.
With the new XC-47, the Danes in Haderslev are tackling another dedicated new edition of their cruising series. The YACHT editorial team has already tested the very elegant blue water cruiser. The X 4.9 in the revised MK II version will also be on show in Düsseldorf.
The French catamaran shipyard will present a new construction project. The model is to be positioned between the Excess 11 and the Excess 14.
The Swan 51 is eagerly awaited as a new product for 2025. The dedicated project will be presented virtually in a separate room at the trade fair.
Interesting news from China. Fareast is building a new 42-foot catamaran with many special features. Plans and a model can be seen on the stand.
The yacht builder in England will unveil plans for a new Spirit 57 Cruising and a Spirit 52 Race in Düsseldorf.
