On the cover of YACHT 3/2024, which goes on sale today, the new Hallberg-Rassy 69 sails in the Swedish archipelago. We were given the chance to thoroughly test the luxury liner, which costs just over six million euros, before its premiere at boot Düsseldorf. The detailed report can be found in the magazine! At -6 degrees, the 46-tonner had to break the ice in the dockyard harbour in the morning. No problem! Only our tester, YACHT editor Jochen Rieker, needed some time to thaw out.
In addition to the HR 69, there are plenty of other sailing innovations to be seen at boot, including exciting formats such as the Moody DS48 and the Dufour 44, which are celebrating their world premieres in Halls 15 and 16. We present all the premieres in this issue. The YACHT team will also be back in the Rhine metropolis from 20 to 28 January, albeit in a new hall. You will find us at the Delius Klasing stand in Hall 10/G18, where we will be presenting - as usual - an exciting programme of lectures.
