Dear investors, dear interested parties, dear water sports friends,

The sailing summer was almost perfect in most areas, with fair winds and lots of sunshine. And there is much positive news to report from HanseYachts as well:

Sale of Privilège completed

Our share in the French catamaran manufacturer Privilège Marine SAS was taken over by a consortium around its long-time CEO Gilles Wagner. The capacity this frees up at HanseYachts now allows us to fully focus on our core brands. In addition, the company will also benefit economically from this strategic portfolio restructuring.

With the Privilège models 510, 580 and 650, we had brought successful boats to the market. Practically all divisions had contributed a lot of commitment, essential resources and great know-how. This tied up many forces in all our functions at HanseYachts - from development to carpentry, production and purchasing to marketing. 

Even though we will continue to support Privilège as a supplier for a limited period of time, we have already gained a lot of new leeway. We will use this to become even better at realising our customers' dreams and to secure the future of HanseYachts. We have an excellent basis for this with our historically strong order book, many measures to improve margins, our significant price increases and many new orders.

Production level significantly raised

Even though we are still dealing with supply chain issues, in September and early October we produced two or even three boats per working day for the first time again. This means we are back to pre-Corona levels - also thanks to the many employees on the production lines who made this possible. We are now working on stabilising this on a monthly and quarterly level.

Excellent vocational training

We take responsibility. A total of ten trainers look after 39 apprentices. We still want to fill another twelve apprenticeship positions. And we are developing our future managers through dual study programmes in business administration and in industrial engineering.

We are exporting our yachts to up to 90 countries and thus compete on a global scale. Our training is as global as our markets. Many of our apprentices come from other European countries, and we offer our dual students practical phases at our location in Poland or at one of our globally active dealers.

With high-quality training, we not only create a solid foundation for a successful start into professional life. This way, we also cover an important part of our need for skilled professionals. HanseYachts AG apprentices are regularly among the best in their respective years. And we have just been awarded the title of "Top Training Company" for the high quality of our training. 

The seal is awarded by the Neubrandenburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce to companies that have consistently provided high-quality training for at least five years. An independent jury decides on the awarding of the title. HanseYachts currently offers seven different apprenticeships. These not only include the classic boat builders and carpenters typical of any yacht manufacturer, but also industrial clerks, IT specialists, media designers, technical product designers and warehouse logistics specialists.

FJORD 53 XL nominated for European Powerboat of the Year 2023

It was announced during her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival: The FJORD 53 XL has been nominated for the "European Powerboat of the Year" Awards 2023 in the boats up to 20 metres category. The industry's most important powerboat prize is awarded each year by an expert jury consisting of representatives from eight leading European powerboat magazines. 

The sophisticated scoring system not only includes features such as quality, finish or handling of the power yacht. Other criteria include the space available, safety, value for money and the realisation of innovations on board.

The winners of the "Oscars of the boatbuilding industry" will be announced in January 2023. We keep our fingers crossed and eagerly await the announcement of the winners. 

RYCK 280 nominated for Best of Boats Award

After our RYCK 280 had already been awarded the Prix de l'Élégance among the Les Moteurs Boats de l'Année last year, she is now among the finalists of the Best of Boats Award in the Best for Beginners category.

In contrast to other awards, the categories here are based on the usage and the different target groups, and not on the boat lengths. We will know at the end of November whether the RYCK 280 wins the prize.

Hanse 460 – an absolute bestseller

With around 200 boats sold by now, the Hanse 460 is not only European Yacht of the Year 2022. Never before has the demand for a new Hanse in its first year after its premiere been as high as for this yacht.

The stunning design by Berret Racoupeau and the concept of Easy Sailing and Fast Cruising, typical for all Hanses, convince customers all over the world. So it was only logical to realise the new line in a larger yacht - the Hanse 510. 

Grand. Great. The new Hanse 510 

Her new, breathtaking looks, easy sailing and fast cruising: the renowned design studio Berret Racoupeau has elaborated everything possible on a 50-foot sailing yacht: generous space on and below deck, high hull speed and exceptional accommodation comfort. She celebrated her world premiere at the Salon Náutico Internacional in Barcelona.

Pure sailing pleasure in a new dimension: with its innovative, ultra-modern hull design, the Hanse 510 is a real eye-catcher. Many clever ideas and practical details make the 15-metre yacht a first-class family cruiser. Her distinctive negative bow, the slim waterline and the perfectly placed chines make a sailing trip a real pleasure, even with more waves. The cockpit with its dual steering system is optimised for single-handed sailing. An intelligently placed step gives crew members easy access to the rope-free running deck. The optional T-top can be fitted with solar panels if desired. In addition, the sailing yacht has the largest and most practical dinghy garage in its class. In just a few easy steps, the dinghy can be easily launched from the cockpit with the newly developed Hanse Smart Tender System.

Style meets luxury: Below deck, the sophisticated design exudes luxury and creates ample space. The spacious master cabin, which is unusual in this class, the loft-like saloon with multifunctional furniture or even the optional crew cabin: every section on the Hanse 510 is a real feel-good place. With over 100 layout options, the personal dream yacht can be designed according to individual desires. With our award-winning 3D configurator.

This year's sailing season is coming to an end in many waters and the boats are being sent to winter storage. In other regions, the summer is just beginning and the season is starting. And we tirelessly continue to build our yachts all year round to make our customers' dreams come true.

We wish you and your families a hand's breadth of water under your keel at all times.
