YACHT editor Michael Good (l.) and YACHT editor-in-chief Martin Hager (r.) report from the Cannes Yachting Festival: How has the trade fair developed? What are the trends? Which premieres should visitors not miss?
The 48th podcast episode of YACHT - the sailing podcast takes you straight to the sunny Côte d'Azur for the Cannes Yachting Festival, one of the most important in-water boat shows for the editorial team. Host Timm Kruse talks to YACHT editor-in-chief Martin Hager and test editor Michael Good about working at the boat show, world premieres and changes in the industry.

YACHT editor-in-chief Martin Hager, who is attending the trade fair for the 21st time, gives an insight into his day-to-day work in Cannes. He also reports on Trends in the water sports scene. What makes the boat show so special is that many of the 700 or so boats on display are moored directly in the water, meaning that test drives are also possible. Martin Hager also talks about the variety of world premieres on display, as the number is significantly higher this year.

Cannes Yachting Festival focusses on sustainability

Another topic of the episode is the role of sustainability in yacht building. Host Timm Kruse talks to Martin Hager and Michael Good about showcase projects from various shipyards that rely on recycled materials. A look at YACHT's used yacht tests shows that many boats are sailed and reused for decades, as Michael Good explains.

In this episode, the test editor presents the most exciting new sailing boats, including the Oceanis 52 and the Dufour 54, and highlights the efforts of the shipyards to optimise both design and production costs and introduce new price models. Michael Good also sheds light on the advantages and disadvantages of catamarans and trimarans compared to monohulls.
