Spirit 30, from 352,300 euros
This visual treat with its ravishingly classic lines comes from the exclusive yacht builder Spirit Yachts in England. The boat is made from mahogany in moulding construction. The shipyard now uses flax fibres and bio-resins to reinforce the structures. The beauty is powered by a built-in electric motor. Hull length 9.15 m; width 1.90 m; weight 1.7 tonnes; sail area 35.1 square metres.
J/9, from 111,560 euros
Reduced to the essentials: J/Boats in the USA has launched an uncomplicated weekender with tiller steering. The large cockpit and short cabin superstructure make it clear where the boat's focus lies. Unfortunately, the attractive J/9 will initially only be built at the shipyard overseas. Hull length 8.54 m; width 2.63 m; weight 1.9 t; sail area 41.7 square metres.
Domani S32 lounge, from 148,750 euros
The still young brand in Belgium wants to further expand its range with a very attractive daysailer. The Domani S32 Lounge is now under construction and should be ready in spring 2022. The large seating and lounging areas in the cockpit are striking. All lines are led back to the two helm stations. Hull length 9.00 m; width 2.50 m; weight 1.95 t; sail area 42.3 square metres.
A-Yachts a-39, from 630,700 euros
The daysailing specialists from Austria are working on a new flagship, designed by Lorenzo Argento. The hull and deck are made entirely of carbon fibre with epoxy, and the rig is also made of carbon. Below deck is a very modern but simple interior with four berths. Hull length 11.99 m; width 3.65 m; weight 4.6 tonnes; sail area 95.0 square metres.
