Dear readers, the feedback was pretty clear. 94 per cent of you ticked the box in our survey a few months ago that we should have at least as many, but preferably even more new yachts in the magazine.

Almost all of you will therefore be even more satisfied with this issue than usual. With the 69-metre "Suerte", the 80-metre "RoMEA" and the explorer concepts from Hawk and Damen, we not only present several large formats on the following almost 200 pages; we have also sailed six yachts that are aimed more at beginners and intermediates. For sailors, we recommend our 24-page comparison of the current 80-foot models from Michael Schmidt Yachtbau, Advanced Yachts and Vismara Marine. Those who prefer to just turn the ignition key, on the other hand, should not only read about our experiences on the Azimut 72, Custom Line 108 and Princess 35M, but should also plan a visit to boot Düsseldorf. There are some extraordinarily exciting new products on show this year.

Have fun reading!

Martin Hager

Editor in Chief YACHT

Martin Hager is editor-in-chief of the titles YACHT and BOOTE EXCLUSIV and has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag for 20 years. He was born in Heidelberg in 1978 and started sailing at the age of six, in an Opti of course. This was soon followed by 420s, Sprinta Sport and 470s, which he also sailed on the regatta course with his brother. His parents regularly took him on charter trips through the Greek and Balearic Islands. Even at a young age, it was clear to him that he wanted to turn his passion for water sports into a career. After graduating from high school and completing an internship at the Rathje boatbuilding company in Kiel, it was clear that he did not want to become a classic boatbuilder. Instead, he successfully studied shipbuilding and marine engineering in the Schleswig-Holstein state capital and focused on yacht design wherever he could. His diploma thesis dealt with the “Testing of a new speed prediction method for sailing yachts”. In 2004, the superyacht magazine BOOTE EXCLUSIV was looking for an editor with technical and nautical background knowledge, a position that was perfect for Martin Hager. The application was successful and a two-year traineeship was arranged. After twelve years as an editor, the editorial team changed and he took over responsibility for BOOTE EXCLUSIV as editor-in-chief in 2017. After long-time YACHT editor-in-chief Jochen Rieker moved to the role of publisher, Martin Hager also took over the position of editor-in-chief of Europe's largest sailing magazine YACHT, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year, at the beginning of 2023. When he's not working on topics for the two water sports titles, Martin Hager likes to go out on the water himself - preferably with kite and wingfoil equipment or on a little after-work trip across the Alster.
