BOOTE EXCLUSIV 4/16 July-August | st
Dear readers, sailing without emissions and engine noise and travelling for several hours is currently one of the most important developments in yachting for me.

With the SL 106, we drove a recently launched Sanlorenzo model that can do just that. You can read our experience report in this issue.

The fact that Wider (with "Genesi"), Solarwave Yachts, Rossinavi, Fincantieri and Amels (with the Limited Editions 188) are also driving the "hybrid drive" trend forward confirms its relevance. Nevertheless, some automotive experts say that battery technology, for example, will only be fully developed in terms of energy density in a few years' time. So there are still exciting times ahead of us here...

Speaking of cars: for a few years now, well-known premium manufacturers have been rediscovering the yacht business. Aston Martin and Bugatti recently presented their concepts, but the first brand on the water is now Mercedes-Benz. With the Arrow460-Granturismo, the design department of the Stuttgart-based company and the developer Silver Arrows Marine, which was founded for the project, presented a day cruiser that clearly transports the Mercedes genes to the oceans.

Have fun with 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.
