- The BM31 classicK is a completely new design: a lightweight, classic-looking coastal cruiser with a round hull and the character of a retro-classic sports boat.  
- Innovative construction method featuring a core of cardboard discs and a laminate structure of carbon fibre and foam; the hull, rudder and mast are made of carbon fibre.  
- Weighs just 2 t, draught 2.40 m, sail area ratio 5.86; carbon rig by Pauger, three berths, sink, optional electric drive (8 kW) or 10 PS Nanni diesel engine.

Knierim Yachtbau: New 31-foot daysailor combining traditional and modern features

- The J/7 is a consistently minimalist daysailer designed for short, intense sailing, featuring simple standard equipment and an optional gennaker package.  
- In testing, the J/7 demonstrates agile, stable sailing characteristics; it is fully suitable for single-handed use and can be controlled well even with just the mainsail, though it can be a bit stiff at times.  
- A short keel, large cockpit and low weight make launching and transport easier; drawbacks include a lack of stowage space and the absence of a lifting or pivoting keel.

J/7: Less boat, more sailing – a review of the new model from J/Boats

- Hypersail utilises an integrated energy concept combining solar, wind, wave and human power, coupled with Ferrari’s 800-volt architecture and DC/DC converters.
- Three specially developed wind turbines, kinetic energy harvesters and sensor fusion for collision avoidance ensure energy supply and operation at speeds of up to 60 knots.
- Titanium-carbon foils, numerous patents and Ferrari vehicle technologies incorporated into the design are intended to enable stable high-speed performance and set new offshore records.

Ferrari Hypersail: 18 patents, a bold vision

- “Zero” is a 68.91-metre ketch that runs on no fossil fuels, powered by hydrogeneration, hybrid PV-thermal panels and 5.2 MWh batteries.
- All technical solutions, data and software are published as open source via the non-profit platform Foundationº.
- Energy generation, batteries, hydrogeneration, photovoltaics and energy management are being tested at sea during an intensive trial phase.

“Zero”: A promising 69-metre swim

- At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Rolls-Royce is showcasing the Phantom Regatta, a one-off, maritime-inspired model based on the Phantom Extended.
- The interior and fittings draw on yacht design: a two-tone leather cabin, yacht-deck-style picnic tables, a hand-painted maritime gallery and a starry sky inspired by tidal currents.
- Hidden coordinates in the air vents refer to Goodwood and the company’s headquarters; the price has not been disclosed, whilst the base Phantom Extended costs between 600,000 and 750,000 euros.

- Die 29-Meter-Yacht „Ouzel“ erreichte bei Tests in Maine bis zu 13 Knoten und zeigte unter 90 Grad Wendewinkel bei 15 Knoten Wind 10 Knoten Fahrt.
- Holz-Verbundbauweise, 3,7 m Festkiel mit als Zusatztank genutzter Stahlfinne und über 420 qm Segelfläche verbinden klassische Optik mit Leistungsfähigkeit.
- Einfacher Segelplan für kleine Crew, Fokus auf Langfahrt in höhere Breiten und entlegene Inseln, ohne Regatta-Optimierung, betont Sicherheit durch Geschwindigkeit.

Superyachts

- Sascha Hahnen is fitting his Bavaria 26 “Bubu 3” with a lightweight carbon-fibre swim platform, which extends the stern and increases the waterline.
- A bow sprit, optimised several times using materials on board, improves gennaker performance, though it remains a compromise; version five is already in the pipeline.
- Below deck, a reinforced structure replaces the fixed mast support, supplemented by a mobile hydraulic support; the boat remains an ongoing refit project.

“Bubu 3”: How one owner completely reimagined his Bavaria 26

- Integrated dodger creates a standing height of approx. 1.85 m, improves climate and ventilation thanks to the chimney effect and can be shaded with mesh and tinting.  
- The interior is simple ex works and can be modularly converted into a pocket cruiser with galley, flexible toilet room, storage space, lighting and technology.  
- Closed water canisters without seacocks, 12-volt connections and the option of mounting flexible solar modules on the dodger increase autonomy.

Small cruiser

- The new carbon Y7 offers increased performance, greater stiffness and makes impressive speeds possible in light winds.  
- Revised design and optimised hull shape create around 20 % more living space, flexible layouts and superyacht details for owner and crew.  
- With a length of 72 feet, up to 500 square metres of sail area and prices of 3.2-3.6 million euros, the Y7 continues YYachts' commercially successful course.

Y7: Lightweight construction at its very best

- The Oyster 515 has been unveiled as the successor to the 495, offering more volume, a larger sail area and a redesigned stern section for long-distance sailors.  
- Beach club-inspired aft deck with a larger swim platform, flexible tender solutions and more storage space, plus a bright three-cabin layout.  
- Oyster reports growth, driven by strong sales, investment in its service network, an anniversary regatta and high demand for the World Rally.

Oyster 515: That beach club vibe on a 50-foot yacht

- Die 20,56 m lange Café Racer 60 von Oceantec ist ein carbonbasierter Performance-Cruiser für schnelle Kurz- und Wochenendtörns.  
- Walkaround-Cockpit, Doppelruder und aufgeräumtes Deck erhöhen Sicherheit, Bewegungsfreiheit und Kontrolle auch bei Schräglage.  
- Flexibles Innenraumkonzept mit klassischer Aufteilung und anpassbarem Ausbau; Oceantec erweitert damit sein Programm nach oben.

Test Falcon Racing: Keel dinghy with speed potential and plenty of safety

- Falcon Racing is a modern interpretation of the Dutch Polyvalk and combines dinghy simplicity with keelboat safety.
- A fixed keel weighing 160 kg, a bent-tension hull, hollow buoyancy and an open stern ensure high dimensional stability and unsinkability.
- The 6.56 m long, 2.07 m wide Falcon Racing is built by Neptun Yachten and offered as a training, touring and regatta boat.

- VMG, a new multihull brand from New York, is launching series production of the 16-metre performance trimaran, the VMG 53.  
- The design and structure are by VPLP Design, the interior by Christophe Chedal Anglay, and the engineering by Thorne Yacht Design.  
- Hull number 1 is being built at Evolution Marine Manufacturing in Cape Town; the launch and sea trials are scheduled for spring 2027.

VMG 53: Performance Tri from Cape Town

- With the Kairos series, Independent Catamaran brings semi-custom cruising trimarans from 52 to 66 feet for fast ocean routes.
- The Kairos 52 offers plenty of sail area, six to eight berths and a customisable deck and rig layout including a fixed or rotating carbon fibre mast.
- Lightweight construction with epoxy resin and carbon fibre, choice of electric or diesel engine; design by ZERO13 and Guadagnucci, prices from around 2.4 million euros.

- ‘Winch-by-Wire’ converts the crew’s muscle power into electrical energy, stores it centrally and deploys it on board as required.  
- A constant, optimal cranking speed reduces physical strain and increases efficiency, saving around 15–20 per cent in energy.  
- This enables a single person to handle heavier loads; the system uses electric motors similar to those found in Ferrari’s Purosangue chassis and the F80 hypercar.

Ferrari Hypersail: ‘Winch-by-Wire’ turns muscle power into electricity

- Ferrari is applying its motorsport expertise to the 30-metre Hypersail foiling project, which aims to set offshore records without using fossil fuels.  
- Hypersail utilises a self-sufficient energy management system incorporating solar and wind power as well as human power, alongside complex simulations to optimise all systems.  
- The design and engineering combine Ferrari’s DNA with new foil architecture, a canting keel and adapted 800-volt propulsion and aerodynamic solutions.

Ferrari Hypersail: The world’s most radical offshore racer?

- “Malizia 4” is a lighter, narrower, newly built IMOCA designed for versatility, intended for the Ocean Race and the Vendée Globe in 2028/2029.
- Consistent weight savings are offset by heavier foils, rudders and the new one-design mast; the cockpit and fittings are more basic.
- The blade-shaped ‘motorboat hull’ with V-rudders and a focus on light-wind performance is expected to deliver up to 10 per cent more speed than the previous generation.

Regatta yachts

- A 30-square-metre dinghy cruiser on the Rhine offers plenty of space; it is fast when sailing downstream, but is at a disadvantage when sailing upstream due to its unfavourable proportions.  
- A new design from 1926 improved the lines, freeboard, rigging and colour scheme to suit Rhineland tastes and the clipper model.  
- The interior layout focuses on good ventilation, three berths, a functional galley, storage space and a folding mast with a ‘Schrenkel’ for handling.

100 years ago: YACHT 7/1926 – 30-square-metre dinghy cruiser for the Rhine

- Die Wohnung soll Charakter, Lebensstellung und Umfeld der Bewohner widerspiegeln und in Proportion, Einfachheit und Ausstattung harmonisch sein.  
- Für Vereins- und Klubhäuser werden aus altem Schiffbauholz gestaltete Räume wie Kaminnische, Vorstands- und Vereinszimmer mit maritimen Details entworfen.  
- Eine als Kajüte inszenierte Trinkecke mit Schiffslampe, Bleiverglasung, Bibliothek und großem Sofa soll Gemütlichkeit und geselligen Charakter betonen.

Vor 100 Jahren: YACHT 13/2026 - Klubhäuser im Innern

- The 100-m² ocean-going cruiser ‘Königin’ (built in 1935) is a rare, seaworthy, one-of-a-kind composite wood-and-steel vessel built by Abeking & Rasmussen, and is still actively sailed.
- Composite construction, ongoing maintenance at the shipyard and, in some cases, faithful restoration ensure the structural integrity, rigging, interior layout and long-term preservation of this 17-metre long-keel yacht.
- Seagoing cruisers combine speed and comfort; they shaped German yacht building in the 1930s and are regarded as the final major chapter in the history of classic wooden boat classes.
