Yachts

- "Tilly XV" is a special class yacht built in 1912 by Prinz Heinrich and Richard Krogmann, winner of the Kieler Woche and the Samoa Cup.
- Owner Sigi Rittler had "Tilly XV" restored to her original condition in 2012 on the basis of historical photos and won the restoration prize for his efforts.
- Today, the restored yacht sails in international classic regattas and epitomises the historic special class, the first international construction class.

Special class yacht "Tilly": Rendezvous with a classic

- YYachts presents the revised Y7 with a new hull design by Judel/Vrolijk, more volume and an optimised, safer cockpit layout.  
- Hull is 30 cm longer, 40 cm wider, 4 tonnes heavier; more stability, better performance, several keel options and more flexible interior layout.  
- Enlarged owner's cabin with three layouts, new VIP or crew cabin aft; price 2.9 million euros, four units of the new Y7 already sold.

YYachts: Renewed successful model celebrates trade fair premiere

- Four P-Yachts from 1911-1913 were tracked down in the USA, extensively restored and are now sailing again in regattas in the Mediterranean.
- The main initiators of the revival are Bruno Troublé and boat builder John Anderson, supported by committed owners from France and Austria.
- The owners are aiming for their own regatta class and are looking for more P-Yachts to expand the fleet and refine the rules of compensation.

Ferrari Hypersail: New project manager for the record chaser

- Grand Soleil Plus 80 LC is Cantiere del Pardo's new flagship with a length of 23.99 metres and is aimed at comfort-oriented long-distance sailors.  
- For the first time, designer Matteo Polli is using twin rudders and a telescopic keel with a draught of 2.80-4.80 metres for better control and flexibility on the Grand Soleil.  
- Nauta Design is responsible for the layout and style with four guest cabins, a raised cabin and 365 m² of am-wind sail area in a lightweight, carbon-reinforced sandwich construction.

Grand Soleil 80: First long cruise launched

- Simena is a 62 metre cruising ketch from Ares Yachts, combining a classic steel hull with a carbon superstructure and modern hybrid propulsion for world cruising.
- The hybrid system with MAN diesel, 220 kW e-engine and six operating modes enables quiet, efficient operation, up to 14 knots and a range of up to 6,000 nm.
- Up to twelve guests and nine crew members stay in luxurious cabins; highlights include an owner's suite with marble bathroom, spacious decks, jacuzzi and tender.

Simena: Lots of sail area and infinite elegance - exclusive pictures!

Superyachts

- The J/7 is a simply designed daysailer with a large cockpit, aluminium rig and Dacron sails, with the option of a sporty upgrade.  
- Thanks to the mast hinge, trailerability, shallow draught and good handling with mainsail only, the boat is suitable for single-handed sailing and transport.  
- Lightweight sandwich construction with high ballast content ensures stable sailing characteristics; small cabin offers weather protection, base price 52,580 euros incl. VAT.

J/7: Everything you need for sailing - nothing more

- The 87-year-old microsailor Sven Yrvind is building a 5.20 metre long, capsule-like boat in sandwich construction with a double keel and three masts.
- The bright yellow new build measures 5.2 x 1.4 metres, has a sail area of around 7.5 m² and resembles earlier boats such as the Exlex.
- Following tests in the Baltic Sea, Yrvind is planning a route from Ireland via Madeira to Beaufort, South Carolina, covering more than 3,100 nautical miles.

New plans: Sven Yrvind wants to cross the Atlantic again at 87

Lago 26 Speedster: Real daysailer impresses in the test with great sailing characteristics

Small cruiser

- Kraken 58 focusses on maximum passive safety with integral keel, full-skeg rudder and three watertight bulkheads
- Very seaworthy and comfortable under sail, but with moderate temperament and weaknesses in manoeuvrability in the harbour
- High-quality, practical interior fittings and extremely extensive standard equipment, but high price and some ergonomic shortcomings

Kraken 58: Luxury tourer with passive safety as top priority

- Kevin Starnes and his father dreamed of sailing around the world and began building the yacht "Arningali" in the 1980s, which was completed in 2023.

- The yacht "Arningali" is a sailing museum with nautical collectibles and was equipped with an electric propulsion system.

- Starnes' adventure on the maiden voyage taught him humility and responsibility, while his wife Sally took the helm with composure.

"Arningali": A yacht full of nautical gems with 40 years of construction time

- Swan 51: smallest Swan, price from € 1.73 million, consistent premium construction, very high standard equipment, sometimes twice as expensive as the competition
- Very good sailing characteristics: high height upwind, agile and balanced, but somewhat sluggish twin rudder steering, several keel variants available
- Spacious, high-quality and customisable below deck, plenty of storage space; points of criticism: flat, uncomfortable coaming, narrow double berth forward

Swan 51: Elegant eye candy with remarkable build quality in the test

Cruising yachts

- Karsten Baas, who has been with Hanse since 1996, will retire on 31 March 2026 as Managing Director of Hanse (Deutschland) Vertriebs GmbH & Co. KG on 31 March 2026.
- His successor as Managing Director of HVG will be Henry Bleck, who has been with the company since 2005 and was most recently responsible for the international dealer network.
- HVG, with showrooms in Greifswald and Bernau, distributes all six HanseYachts AG brands in DACH and works with sub-dealers.

Hanseyachts: Change of leadership at the top-selling dealer

- "Keena" is a privately developed flax monohull by Matthias Bröker, derived from the Dehler 30od, but built to measure and without market constraints.  
- The main design differences: single rudder instead of double rudder, turned saildrive, larger, reduced interior, many Dyneema lines and cork surfaces.  
- Built by Greenboats from flax fibre sandwich with bio-based resin; similar strength to GRP, significantly better eco-balance, focus on low-energy construction rather than recycling.

"Keena": The undaunted sister of the Dehler 30od

- The Milan 22 becomes the Neptun 220 DC with a new keel concept, lighter deck, e-pod drive and revised rig and fittings.
- Two keel variants (1.10 m/185 kg and 0.65 m/350 kg) make the boat flexible for deep and shallow waters; keels are theoretically interchangeable.
- Hulls have been manufactured entirely in Germany since build number five; a touring version with overnight accommodation is planned, details are still open.

Daysailer: Neptun 220 DC - everything is new

Dinghies

- Inflatable sailing catamaran made of rubber hulls and carbon fibre frame, fits in the boot, weighs 74 kg and can be set up in 20 minutes with practice.
- Very high speed potential well over 10 knots with easy handling, especially single-handed, but with some rudder flex at high pressure.
- The high price of around €17,000 is offset by the compact pack size, versatile use as a dinghy for up to four people and optional additional equipment.

Happy Cat Star Carbon test: On the water in 20 minutes with an inflatable cat

- Hallberg-Rassy surprisingly announces a 39-foot catamaran "Hallberg-Rassy 39Cat", breaking with the monohull tradition.
- The shipyard itself emphasises the disadvantages of the catamaran: worse in the wind, more port space required, more difficult to manoeuvre, no space for sprayhood.
- Orders and deliveries are only scheduled for 1 April, price figure SEK 20,260,401 refers tongue-in-cheek to the date 2026-04-01.

Multihull: Hallberg-Rassy announces a catamaran

- Focus on various cruises: Atlantic passage, single-handed sailing in Finnmark, Cyclades and innovations on the German North Sea coast
- Tests and yacht portraits: new Lagoon 38 and multihull trends, comeback of the P-Class, CNB 68, Esse 890 and Hundertwasser's ship "Rainy Day"
- Practical tips for everyday life on board: sailing in old age, renewing the soles of sailing shoes, maintaining dirty structural decks and other reports and glossaries

Catamarans | Trimarans

- IY 9.98 Nextgen is a comprehensively redesigned, lighter and 35% stiffer further development of the successful ORC racing yacht.
- New infusion construction process, modified structure with composites and carbon fibre as well as optimised T-keel and carbon rudder increase performance.
- According to Polar data, a higher carbon mast, longer bowsprit and more sail area should deliver a 17% increase in performance while maintaining a cosy interior.

IY 9.98 Nextgen: Radical overhaul for a bestseller

- Banque Populaire is having the Ultim trimaran "Banque Populaire 15" built by 2029, skippered by Armel Le Cléac'h, construction time 28 months at CDK.
- The aim is to win the Route du Rhum 2030, Arkea Ultim Challenge 2032 and record attempts such as the Trophée Jules Verne, focussing on early flight and downwind.
- The project involves around 150 mostly Breton companies, strengthens the "Sailing Valley" and emphasises the bank's rare model of boat ownership.

"Gorch Fock": Navy training ship sets course for America

- Hundertwasser's ship "Regentag", once a freighter built in 1910, became a floating work of art, a retreat and a symbol of his ideal of freedom.  
- After sinking in 1995, being encased in ferrocement and returning to Tulln in 2004, the "Regentag" was extensively restored in 2018 at a cost of 520,000 euros.  
- Boat builder Tobias van Kooij renovated dilapidated wooden and hull parts and added a GRP hull; today, the "Regentag" is once again watertight and ready to sail.

Hundertwasser ship: is it art, or can it go?

- In Nizza fand erstmals die Messe „Nice Boating Tomorrow“ zum nachhaltigen Wassersport mit Fokus auf Dekarbonisierung und neuen Nutzungskonzepten statt.  
- 81 Aussteller, etwa 30 Boote und ein Forum mit 48 Rednern und 189 Teilnehmern machten die Fachmesse zu einem gut angenommenen Branchentreff.  
- Schwacher Publikumsandrang und fehlende Besucherzahlen zeigen Ausbaupotenzial, dennoch gilt die Premiere als ermutigender Auftakt für den Standort Nizza.

Nice Boating Tomorrow: Sustainability fair celebrates successful premiere in Nice

- „Aurelia WINO“ ist ein Wellenkraftwerks-Prototyp der HAW Kiel zur autarken Stromerzeugung auf See, u.a. für Forschungsplattformen.  
- Ab Herbst 2026 soll das System bei FINO 3 in der Nordsee mindestens sechs Monate unter realen Offshore-Bedingungen erprobt werden.
