HanseYachts AG Receives Boat Builder Award 2016

Hanse Builder of The Year Award

Sept 21, 2016

HanseYachts AG has received the Boat Builder of the Year Award 2016 from the British Sailing Today Magazine.

Sailing Today editor Sam Fortescue said: “Hanse Group has had a very busy year, launching a new flagship in the form of the stunning new Hanse 675, the Hanse 588 and the award-winning Hanse 315. Meanwhile Hanse’s more performance oriented Dehler brand saw the launch of a new 42-footer, while its classic 34 has been relaunched and brought bang up to date.”

The redevelopment of the Dehler 34 was particularly exciting because the first Dehler 34, which was built in the 80’s, laid the cornerstone for a new type of boat: the performance cruiser.

The CEO of HanseYachts, Dr. Jens Gerhardt not only gives special thanks to Sailing Today for the award, but also to the employees of the shipyard. “We won this award together! Even with the best designers one cannot build successful yachts, if the production does not work. At the Hanse shipyard everybody works hand-in-hand in order to build unique yachts for the customers. I therefore thank all the staff of the shipyard for their commitment and wish everybody an enjoyable ending of the sailing season 2016.”

Paving the Way to Cleaner Boating – How a Commitment to Reducing our Environmental Impact is Inspiring Cleaner Boating in Ontario

By Dave Rozycki

Over the past seven decades, Ontario’s marina industry has developed alongside some of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes. Boaters have been able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and create lasting memories on the water, with certain marinas dating back to the 1960s. As we reflect on this rich history, we can begin to see trends in how our footprint may have had an effect on the environment, in not-so-positive ways. However, by embracing innovative solutions and adopting sustainable practices, both marinas and boaters hold the key to preserving and enhancing the quality of our lakes and marine life for generations to come.
