- The schooner brig "Wilhelm Pieck", built in 1951 and the only ocean-going sailing ship in the GDR, was primarily used for the maritime training of the FDJ.
- Acquired by the city of Greifswald in 1990 and renamed the "Greif" in 1991, the ship became a maritime ambassador and movable cultural monument.
- Completely renovated at the end of 2022 at a cost of around 7.7 million euros, the "Greif" is back in the water and will sail again as a sailing training ship once the interior has been refitted.

75 years of the "Greif": Greifswald's traditional sailing ship with an eventful history

- The Puffin 42 is the first model of a new generation of Puffins, designed by Olivier van Meer and built by VMG Yachtbuilders in Enkhuizen.
- It is characterised by its tumblehome hull, heart-shaped stern, angular cabin superstructure with wheelhouse and cutter rig with high rig, stay jib and furling jib.
- Owners can choose between a fixed keel or ballast centreboard, individual interior fittings are possible; further models 50, 58 and an Explorer version are planned.

Puffin 42: Stylish platform for a carefree sea voyage

- The Run starts on 12 June as a night race from four starting points to Ærøskøbing, with different courses and distances of up to around 62 nm.  
- Breakfast, jazz, barbecue dinner and a party will follow in Ærøskøbing; this will also mark the start of the relaxed Summer Sail.  
- The Summer Sail is an informal, non-official, non-competitive flotilla race leading up to the Rendezvous of the Classics from 18 to 21 June in Kappeln and Kiel.

Summer Sail the classic: Together on a night regatta, squadron cruise and Kiel Week

- Southern Wind has launched the sixth SW96 yacht "Fortissimo" (31.41 metres, 98 GT, forest green hull) in Cape Town for a regatta-oriented owner.
- A full carbon hull and deck, twin rudders, lifting keel (3.4-5.5 metres), high-modulus rig and additional winches make "Fortissimo" ready for offshore racing.
- The yacht offers space for six guests in three cabins, starts in the western Mediterranean and is to be used for regattas in the Mediterranean and America.

"Fortissimo": Regatta Maxi in forest green

- Baltic Yachts launches the 37.08 metre long carbon slup Baltic 121 Custom with telescopic keel for an experienced blue water owner.

Ferrari Hypersail: Record hunter with a radical hull

Superyachts

- Chianti 24: trailerable 7.75 m wooden epoxy keel centreboard with double rudders, lifting keel (0.20-2.00 m) and unsinkable hull construction.  
- Concept as a "floating camping bus": sporty rig, 34.6 m² upwind sails, modular storage space in the cockpit, outboard motor for manoeuvring only.  
- Simple equipment below deck with four berths, chemical toilet and 1.45 m height; first boat under construction, price not yet fixed.

Chianti 24: Small camping cruiser for great freedom

- Bente Yachts is developing the trailerable Bente 25 in three versions: cruising, open and inclusion-oriented open.i with various keel options.  
- The cruising version offers five berths, optional WC, single-handed rig without backstay and a choice of electric inboard engine or outboard motor.  
- The open.i enables direct wheelchair access, variable cockpit seating via airline rails and is optimised via a mock-up roadshow with user feedback.

Bente Yachts: small cruiser, daysailer, inclusion boat

- The Saffier SE 28 Leopard is a versatile daysailer, club racer, weekender and family boat with many customisation options.  
- Compared to the SE 27 Leisure, it offers more width, higher freeboard, deeper keel, larger rig and very good sailing performance with easy single-handed operation.  
- Below deck there are berths for up to four people and a surprising amount of space; the high price is offset by the equipment, build quality and breadth of use.

Small cruiser

- Dick Carter's single-tonne "Optimist" design marked a radical, IOR-influenced turn towards lightweight offshore racing machines at the end of the 1960s.  
- Sister ship "Anaïs" (ex "Apecist") from 1969 is probably the only all-wood construction of the type, today owned by the Specht family from Hamburg.  
- After an extensive refit, "Anaïs" is once again sailing successfully in regattas organised by the Freundeskreis Klassische Yachten and also serves as a family cruiser.

IOR one-tonner "Anaïs": Racer with cruising mode

More Yachts: Comeback under new management

- Ovni 490: sturdy aluminium long-cruising yacht with canting keel, pilothouse, variable interior layouts and deck saloon with all-round visibility

Classics

- At the YachtingGate shipyard, customised furniture such as desks, beach chairs and seating furniture is made from old sailing boats.

Martimes Upcycling: Wie aus alten Booten Möbelstücke werden

- Old GRP boats are becoming a problem in Europe; disposal is time-consuming, expensive and often the responsibility of harbour authorities or the general public.
- France has APER, a system financed by an environmental levy, which has recycled over 13,000 boats and 74% of the materials are reused.
- Denmark and the UK compulsorily clear scrap boats, the costs are primarily borne by harbour authorities there, recovery claims are often uncertain.

Scrap boats: How other countries deal with dead boats

- Abandoned scrap boats are on the increase and are becoming a growing problem for shipyards, harbours and local authorities.  
- First the harbour operator tries to reach the owner, then the harbour authority intervenes with fines or substitute performance.  
- If the owner is unable to bear the costs and is below the seizure limit, the local authority is left with the expenses despite enforcement proceedings.
