Dear readers, an exciting magazine production lies behind me and I can't tell you exactly which topic I was most enthusiastic about.

The final sailing of "Sailing Yacht A" is definitely on the shortlist. After all, the construction of this mysterious and certainly unusual giant has been with us for the last five years.

The meeting with Martin Francis on "Enigma" was touching. The grand seigneur of yacht design was almost in tears when he was finally allowed to show us the yacht that has been inextricably linked with his name for more than two decades.

And then I have very fond memories of my trip to Norway. The almost unbelievably beautiful nature and the friendly people left a strong impression. If you want to take your yacht off the beaten track, you should set a course northwards. The infrastructure may seem a little more rudimentary in some places than on the Côte d'Azur, but the seafood tastes at least as good.

Enjoy this issue!

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.
