Dear readers, we are pleased and proud to be the first magazine to give you an insight into the development of the gigantic sails of the "Sailing Yacht A" in this issue.

Robbie and Tyler Doyle, the masterminds behind Doyle Sails, explain how they managed the calculation and production of a total of 4500 square metres for the world's largest sailing yacht. The aerodynamic analyses alone were a science in themselves.

With "Joy" we present the second premiere. Having previously limited themselves to designing interiors, Dickie Bannenberg and Simon Rowell have now ventured "outwards". The 70 metre long Feadship "Joy" is the exterior premiere of the British design duo, who are responsible for a huge legacy.
Dickie's late father Jon is regarded as a design legend and was a trainer for many of today's very successful yacht designers. How do you deal with that? "Sporty," says Bannenberg, radically intervening in traditional structures. With "Joy", as with the "Sailing Yacht A", tastes therefore differ - you either like it or you don't. But this was also true of some of Bannenberg senior's deliveries.

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.
