Boat market: New Hanse dealer in southern GermanyPhoto: YACHT-Archiv

Managing Director Severin Diepold has taken over the representation of Hanseyachts for the southern German and Austrian markets. He can present up to seven boats in his showroom in Aiterbach near Rimsting.

In doing so, the dealer is following the example of Yachten Meltl in Bernau, which has been presenting a kind of small permanent boat show in modern halls next to the Munich-Salzburg motorway for years. Meltl has Bavaria, Moody and Dehler in its programme; Diepold, on the other hand, concentrates on Hanse yachts.

Interested parties can view up to seven models in the new premises. A Hanse 320, 350, 400, 470 and the new 545 are currently available for viewing. In four weeks' time, the new Hanse 375 will be added, which is now also available with a double steering position - almost the entire model range.

Together, Diepold and Meltl, whose sites are just 12 kilometres apart in the west of Lake Chiemsee, cover practically everything that German series boatbuilding currently has to offer. A visit to the picturesque region is therefore more worthwhile than ever for owners and those who want to become one.

Aufgewachsen in Süddeutschland, hat Jochen Rieker das Segeln auf Bodensee, Ammersee und Starnberger See gelernt. Zunächst war er auf Pirat, H-Jolle und Tempest unterwegs, später auf Hobie Cat, A Cat und Dart 16. Aber wie das so ist: Je weiter entfernt das Meer, desto größer die Leidenschaft danach. Inspiriert durch die Bücher von Bobby Schenk und Wilfried Erdmann, folgte in den 90ern der erste Dickschifftörn im Ionischen Meer auf einer Carter 30, damals noch ohne Segelschein. Danach war’s um ihn geschehen. Als YACHT-Kaleu und Jury-Vorsitzender des European Yacht of the Year Award hat Rieker in den vergangenen mehr als 25 Jahren gut 500 Boote getestet. Sein eigenes, ein 36-Fuß-Racer/Cruiser, lag zuletzt in der Adria. Diesen Sommer verholt er es an die Schlei, wo er inzwischen lebt.
