Yachts

- The 76-metre mega-catamaran Tyrena, with its reefable wing sails, is expected to save up to 40 per cent in fuel consumption when operating in hybrid mode and achieve a range of 3,800–6,400 nautical miles.
- VPLP Design and Micheletti + Partners combine performance-oriented lines with courtyards, terraces and loggias inspired by Mediterranean architecture.
- Sleek hulls and a wide deck create spacious, interconnected indoor and outdoor areas featuring a swimming pool, a lowerable stern platform and passive ventilation.

- The Dehler 34 features a longer mast and increased sail area to boost performance compared to competitors such as the Xp 33 or Elan E4.  
- The tiller option has been dropped; instead, there are two 90-series steering wheels positioned wide apart; the tried-and-tested deck layout with six winches remains.  
- Below deck, the upholstery and finishes have been modernised; a spacious two-cabin version with a split wet room and practical storage space.

Dehler 34: A new edition of the compact performer

- Boreal 56: unpainted aluminium hull, adjustable centreboard system, well-protected cockpit for long voyages and high latitudes  
- Design features: retractable centreboard, protected main rudder, two lowerable auxiliary rudders for course stability and rudder protection  
- Tested on the North Sea: smooth, controlled sailing in rough seas; deck layout tailored to small crews and bad weather

- “Aquarius” is a 65-metre aluminium ketch with 45 per cent more volume and a clear focus on performance rather than Panamax compatibility.  
- A new T-keel with variable draught, a performance-oriented carbon rig, 16 captive winches and a semi-hybrid energy system all enhance efficiency.  
- A larger crew and guest area, an optimised interior and regatta successes such as the St. Barths Bucket characterise her use on long-distance voyages and in racing.

The 65-metre ketch ‘Aquarius’: the big sister with more space and sailing power

- 19 superyachts competed in three days of racing at the Ibiza JoySail 2026, after thunderstorms had prevented the event from getting underway.  
- ‘Moat’ won the Performance class for the sixth time; further class victories went to ‘Winwin’, ‘Cervo’, ‘Point Counter Point’ and ‘Nostromo’.  
- The seventh edition is planned for 2027, with the return of the Perpetual Trophy as a separate 48-nautical-mile record-breaking race between Mallorca and Ibiza.

- The ICE 80 Blue Water Sport combines a lightweight full-carbon construction, a telescopic keel and a 48-volt system for weight reduction with long-distance cruising technology.  
- The deck and interior layouts are highly customisable, featuring separate guest and working areas, a spacious owner’s suite and a dedicated crew area.  
- The design aims to deliver high light-wind performance whilst remaining easy to handle with a small crew and offering a high level of comfort across its 24-metre length.

ICE 80: A bespoke maxi-cruiser with a sporty edge

Superyachts

- LA 28: moulded mahogany, carbon rigging and membrane sails; a blend of classic timber construction and modern, eye-catching design for a daysailer.
- Rounded deck-to-hull transitions create plenty of headroom below deck with four berths, though the saloon is cramped due to the keel box and offers only minimal comfort.
- A light, stiff small cruiser with 46 per cent ballast, suitable for single-handed sailing, with excellent sailing performance, but a high price due to high-quality materials.

LA 28 review: a wooden beauty with a built-in accelerator pedal

- In 2026, the 1.2-metre sailing boat ‘C-Star PC13’ became the first autonomous vessel to cross the Atlantic and, after 127 days, won the Microtransat Challenge.  
- Strict rules: maximum boat length of 2.4 metres, wind-powered only, no radio access; the software navigated in an energy-efficient manner and automatically compensated for steering problems.  
- Oshen is developing the C-Stars as autonomous sensor platforms for climate, weather, defence and surveillance tasks in hard-to-reach marine areas.

Microtransat Challenge: ‘C-Star PC13’ became the first autonomous robotic boat to cross the Atlantic

- The 20er dinghy cruiser ‘Lumme’ is a laminated, custom-fitted wooden boat with a raised hull, reinforced underwater section and a ballast centreboard.  
- Four berths, a separate toilet compartment with a pump-flush toilet, a galley unit and ample storage space make the “Lumme” a comfortable family cruising boat.  
- The Rekowski family use the trailerable boat for flexible summer cruises in a variety of sailing areas, from Müritz to the Schären, and otherwise store it in indoor storage facilities.

Small cruiser

- Breehorn 55: a 16.7-metre cruising yacht with an aluminium hull, GRP deck, high ballast ratio, pilothouse and designed for round-the-world sailing.  
- Sleek, course-stable hull, conventional twin-jib rig with cutter stay; good sailing performance, but rather sedate manoeuvring.  
- Comfortable, partly customisable handling, limited cockpit stowage space, no redundant steering mechanisms apart from the autopilot.

Breehorn 55 review: Quiet, robust and ready for a round-the-world trip

- The Luffe 45+ features a new hull shape with a vertical bow and a modified stern for improved sailing performance and a larger cockpit  
- The hull, deck, floor structure and bulkheads are now constructed entirely from carbon fibre sandwich; weight has been reduced from 9.5 to 8.2 tonnes  
- Below deck, there are customisable fit-out options with high-quality finishes; the 45+ prioritises sailing performance and ease of handling over maximum space

Luffe 45+: Luxurious sailing fun in full carbon – first pictures from the test

- Neel Trimarans is launching the newly designed Neel 48 cruising trimaran under new ownership as the successor to the Neel 47.
- The Neel 48 features an open ‘Cockloon’ layout, modified cabin access points, technical systems in the central hull and optional skipper’s cabins aft.
- Rigging plan featuring a square-top mainsail, genoa, jib, new traveller and centreboards; prices starting from €898,000 net, with its debut scheduled for autumn 2027 in La Rochelle.

Neel 48: Setting sail on three hulls

Cruising yachts

- The First 36 Spirit is the third variant in the First 36 range, featuring a simplified fit-out and a focus on simple, fast sailing with a small crew.  
- Lightweight hull (4.6 t), generous sail area (80 m² upwind), twin rudders and a simple interior layout comprising three cabins, a saloon and a wet room.  
- The starting price is 200,000 euros excluding VAT, making it around 50,000 euros cheaper than the base model; world premiere at boot 2027 in Düsseldorf.

First 36 Spirit: Sail fast, live more comfortably and save money

- Redesigned interior: relocated galley, more layout options, light-coloured interior, plenty of light and ventilation throughout  
- Flexible cabin layouts ranging from a large owner’s cabin to ten berths; high levels of comfort, but storage space is sometimes limited and the basic specification is somewhat sparse  
- Base price, ready to sail: approx. €406,761; realistic price for a comfortable specification: €458,864; test boat with numerous options: around €725,000

Hanse 461 below deck: Just how much comfort would you like?

- The Falcon 22 Race sails steadily and is easy to control, reaching over 5.5 knots close-hauled and just under 9 knots when planing with a gennaker.
- A large, versatile cockpit and numerous options (Easy-Tek decking, traveller, storage compartments, engines) enhance comfort and increase the price.
- Base price €28,500 including rig and sails; a fixed keel improves safety but requires a crane rather than a slipway and restricts handling on land.

Falcon Racing put to the test: dinghy fun with a safety margin

- Falcon 22 Racing: a 6.56-metre keel dinghy with a fixed ballast keel, buoyancy chambers and a large cockpit, built by Neptun Yachten in Germany.

- Multi-sport board with 400 l buoyancy for sailing, windsurfing, SUP and stand-up sailing, designed for 1–2 people weighing up to 155 kg.  
- Comfortable EVA deck, three-layer PE hull, various conversion kits; suitable for inland and coastal waters, but only to a limited extent as a dinghy.  
- Prices: Board from approx. €4,625, optional windsurfing and SUP packages, extensive range of accessories and spare parts ex-works Leeuwarden.

- The deck layout, twin rudders and deep keels ensure high stability, control and autopilot suitability despite the large sail area.  
- The interior is spartan and weight-optimised, with comfort options available; high price, but proven to be very successful in regatta racing.

JPK 1050 put to the test: 20 knots, complete control

- Clipper Ventures is having twelve new 22-metre one-design boats (Clipper RX) built in China for future round-the-world sailing races.
