Hello from the North,

Midsummer is behind us, and summer is showing all its facets – sometimes sunny and calm, sometimes cool and windy.
The trip to Estonia was full of variety, although the weather around Midsummer was unfortunately rather poor – windy, rainy, and cold.

Now, as we continue our journey northward with the Saare 47, summer has returned.
The crossing from Dirhami in Estonia to Hanko in Finland was fantastic: sailing at 60 degrees to the wind, under blue skies, with 14 to 18 knots of wind, minimal waves, and a beautiful, fast passage brought us to Finland at speeds between 7.9 and 8.5 knots.

There’s a lot to report and – finally – a pre-owned Saare 38 is available again.

It was a wonderful celebration in Estonia. Saare sailors from Finland, Germany, and the Netherlands gathered in Koiguste on the island of Saaremaa. Although three participants had to cancel for various reasons, it was still an international gathering, with the two oldest Saare 38 yachts from Finland also in attendance.

The day before, the weather was fantastic, and the sunset was spectacular.
Midsummer, which is celebrated in Estonia on June 23rd, turned out to be cool, changeable, and very windy. For safety reasons, the large bonfire unfortunately had to be cancelled, and a small symbolic fire was lit instead.

By chance, we discovered a new harbor on our journey north. On the island of Vormsi, in the northern Muhu Sound, about 4 nautical miles west of Haapsalu, we stopped at the newly developed harbor of Sviby.

A dredged channel leads to the harbor; from time to time, the small island ferry arrives, and the harbormaster is quick to help you find a good berth and answer any questions.

Surrounded by beautiful nature, this small harbor offers well-protected berths on floating pontoons with fingers, and for larger yachts, there are also good alongside mooring options.

Our team in Estonia is now heading off for their well-deserved three-week summer break.

Not long ago, we handed over a Saare 38.2 to a Dutch owner, and then in early July, another 38.2 went to a sailor from Berlin.
This particular Saare 38.2 was built to very specific requirements and extensively customized. Many details were modified, and at first glance, it’s not immediately recognizable as a Saare. With its blue stripes and no hull windows, the yacht has quite a different look.

YACHTING WORLD – Issue 8 / 2025
The latest issue features an in-depth review of the new Saare 47. A detailed description, stunning photos, and plenty of praise make this yacht all the more intriguing.

Starting in September, we warmly invite you to visit us in Eckernförde to see the yacht in person.
Now is the right time to start making concrete plans for a delivery in time for the 2027 sailing season.

In July and August, we’re offering all customers a 10% discount on the purchase of new sails from Elvström.

Our Saare yachts have always been equipped with high-quality Elvström sails – ensuring performance, durability, and elegant sailing.

We’re happy to assist you in choosing the right sails for your yacht – whether it’s a genoa, mainsail, or gennaker.
Feel free to get in touch – we’ll be glad to advise you personally.

Finally, we can offer a used Saare 38 again. Many sailors have been waiting for such an opportunity, and we are now pleased to present this well-equipped and barely used yacht.
