HanseYachts AG introduces the RYCK 280

Hanse Ryck 280

Aug 24, 2021

HanseYachts AG presents RYCK, its third motorboat brand carrying the “Made in Germany” label. The new brand was developed in Greifswald in cooperation with yacht designer Bill Dixon, and is aimed specifically at sports-minded skippers and crews in the weekender segment.

The first model from the new brand is the RYCK 280, which combines superior handling characteristics with a stylish design.

Deck: A 25cm-wide walkaround deck, guard railing and high freeboard all serve to make this a very safe boat. The stepless cockpit offers a lot of space and freedom of movement and, in addition to the standard L-shaped bench seat, can also be equipped with a table, fridge and a wetbar including a grill or cooker. The backrest of the bench seat folds down to create a second lounging area that complements the sunpad on the foredeck.

With the T-top and two additional awnings, the entire deck area can be shaded, while optional fishing rod holders and a tow bar for water skiing also appeal to active crew members. The large bathing platform with its ladder and a stern shower with hot and cold water make for carefree fun in the water. A bowsprit with integrated anchor arm and an electric windlass guarantee safe and comfortable anchoring.

Hanse Ryck 280Interior: Below deck, the customer can opt for a modern furnished cabin with a large double berth; or for a large storage space for water sports equipment. A separate wet room is fitted as standard. The large windows in the coachroof allow plenty of natural light and fresh air into the interior.

Hull: The stepped hull ensures the best rough water characteristics, while the reverse bow underlines the modern and elegant design of the RYCK 280.

Helm station and engine: Well-protected by a stylish windscreen, the ergonomic driving position can be enhanced with a glass bridge control panel that includes two 12in plotters. A Mercury Verado outboard provides all the necessary power, with a choice of 250, 300 or 350hp.

The name RYCK is based on the river of the same name that flows through Greifswald and connects the main production site of HanseYachts AG to the Baltic Sea. Since the company was founded in 1990 on the northern bank of the Ryck, HanseYachts AG has developed into one of the world’s largest manufacturers of series-produced sailing and motor yachts.

World Premiere of the RYCK 280 will be at the Cannes Yachting Festival from 7-12 September, in the Vieux Port.

Serious Fun at the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta

By Allegra Smith-Herriott

As the plane started its descent, bright blue skies gave way to crystal clear turquoise waters as we skimmed over the famous Maho Beach. Exiting the airport, I was hit with a wall of warm salty air from the northeast trade winds. Nothing compares to arriving in the Caribbean.

From the airport, I headed to the Regatta Village in Port de Plaisance. Wednesday being ‘Day 0’ was registration day of the Regatta. Teams were out on the water to shake out sails, on the docks making last-minute preparations and in the Regatta Village for registration and most importantly picking up their cases of Heineken.
