- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- The wooden yacht “Argo”, built in 1932, has been extensively restored following decades of use in regattas and 30 years in storage.  
- The family and regatta yacht has been transformed into a safe, minimalist training boat with a shortened mast, electric propulsion and a spartan interior.  
- Today, the “Argo” serves as an experiential learning project for 14- to 25-year-olds on Lake Constance; clubs can book sailing trips with young people who have sailing experience.

- Profilsegel sind formstabile, stromlinienförmige Segelprofile, nutzen den Wind effizienter als Leinwandsegel und ermöglichen höheres Am-Wind-Segeln.
- Technische und seemännische Bedenken betreffen Gewicht, drehbare Lagerung und Kontrollverlust starrer Profilsegel im Sturm auf großen Schiffen.
- Flettner ließ Profilsegel erproben, erzielte 50–60 % Leistungssteigerung, setzte sie mit Germaniawerft testweise auf einem Arbeitsboot ein.

Steiner Nautic: a 30-foot archipelago cruiser from the Pre-Alps

- Criticism of monotonous, mass-produced silver and glass bowls, which offer little personal satisfaction to winners.
- A call for regatta prizes of artistic merit, produced locally and made from a variety of materials, with a connection to water, wind and waves.
- A proposal to use works of art or vouchers for bespoke boat paintings by young artists as original, personalised honorary prizes.
