Dear readers, what is the perfect size for a yacht? We address this question on several pages in this issue. With Baglietto's new bestseller T52, CRN's "Ciao", "Piacere" from Rossinavi Halls and the latest Mangusta displacement model Oceano 44, we focus on four new yachts that fit into a popular category with interior volumes of just under 500 gross tonnes.

Stefan Zucker from Hamburg explains why the Gross Ton is so important and what it means for owners if they exceed the "magic 500". The former captain founded the company Zucker + Partner, which advises owners on the construction of large yachts.

The Roman yacht designers Bernardo and Martina Zuccon, who are successfully continuing their parents' legacy and have managed to establish their very own style in just a few years, are also all about "space on board". We find out why the young and creative siblings don't stick to conventional patterns, what a Viennese architect has to do with their refreshing designs and what Bernardo's dream yacht looks like.

We are celebrating two anniversaries on the following pages: The Italian shipyard Costruzioni e Riparazioni Navali, better known in the industry under the abbreviation CRN, was founded in 1963 and has been one of the top players in the construction of large formats for 60 years; the Finns from Baltic Yachts, on the other hand, are toasting 50 turbulent years in which the experts from Jakobstad succeeded in becoming the first address for the construction of technically highly sophisticated carbon sailing yachts. A small side note on our own behalf: BOOTE EXCLUSIV was launched 35 years ago - time flies and we look forward to celebrating our golden anniversary with you!

What prompts a successful yacht dealer to build boats himself and set up his own boatyard? A visit by my colleague Uske Berndt to Lengers Yachts on the Ijsselmeer provided the answer and a foretaste of an exciting weekender.

We hope you enjoy reading it!

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.
