In the new issue of YACHT, we look at rarely visited cruising destinations in Greece and Finland, the causes of seasickness, the increased danger from orcas and the latest trends in the catamaran segment. We also report on the upcoming start of the Ocean Race Europe in Kiel. And we accompany the "toughest" water police officer in northern Germany on patrol on the Flensburg Fjord.

A highlight of the new issue is the report on lesser-known Greek islands that are not yet overrun by tourists. Some of them are off the beaten track and some are still real insider tips for sailors. We also present the now truly remote Finnish island of Hailuoto. Why is this island in the far north of the Baltic Sea definitely worth a visit and what can sailors expect there? Read for yourself!

Overcome seasickness and avoid orcas

Seasickness is literally an annoying topic for many sailors. In a new series, we explain how to overcome this ailment and become sea fit. The first part promises practical tips and instructive background information.

In addition, a current report is dedicated to the increased danger of orca attacks. YACHT provides information on the latest developments and gives advice on how sailors can deal with this situation.

Ocean Race Europe and catamarans in focus

Readers with an interest in sport can find out all about the start of the Ocean Race Europe in Kiel. The article introduces the participating teams and explains how you can follow the start on site. And in a multihull special, we test the New 41 from Fountaine Pajot. Particularly interesting: the entry-level model is equipped with a hybrid drive. We also show a range of other exciting two- and three-hulls.

For some skippers, the report on a patrol trip with the water police is likely to be informative. The view of the sailors from the perspective of the law enforcement officers reveals many a surprise.

Also in the new issue:

  • A report on alternative dinghies such as kayaks, folding boats and paddleboards
  • The highlights and a sporting summary of Kiel Week
  • A portrait of the GRP classic "Hanseat", which was developed 60 years ago
  • A personal review from a long-time fellow sailor
  • Book recommendations for new guidebooks, travel guides and maritime novels
  • A visit on board the Jager 37 by shipyard boss Emile Ruys
