Dear readers, the topic of "sustainability" is occupying the large yacht industry to an astonishing degree, which is why we are going into detail about fuel cell drives and presenting the "Silent 60", an impressive catamaran that leaves a minimal ecological footprint.

Our cover is adorned with the 70 metre long "Polaris" a true travelling heavyweight with Arctic ambitions. The flagship of the Italian shipyard Rossinavi was created based on a design by Enrico Gobbi for an experienced Russian owner who wanted military details and ice class. In addition to St. Petersburg in winter, the voluminous four-decker with its Art Deco interior will probably also sail to the Pole.

Rarely has a yacht designer captivated us as much as the Roman, who is always in a good mood and bursting with energy Marco Casali. Don't know him? Then it's high time you learnt more about the superyacht influencer, CrossFit fanatic, catamaran enthusiast and passionate Itama designer.

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.
