| Hello from the North,
we are in the middle of the two most labor-intensive months of the year.
All yachts have to be taken out of winter storage, lifted by crane, and made ready to sail. Repair work and many other tasks are taking place in the harbor. A large amount of merchandise is arriving at the big retail store, which needs to be sorted and stocked. Video recordings for YACHT TV with the Saare 38.2 and the 41.2 have been carried out; in Eckernförde and in Estonia, we are handing over sailing yachts to their new, happy owners.
These are all things that bring us great joy, but at the moment they are also pushing us to our limits in terms of time and physically, with a lot of overtime. |

Times are difficult, the economy is not gaining momentum, and the global political situation is a catastrophe. Unfortunately, it is very hard to predict how prices will develop.
We are trying to keep prices for Saare yachts as stable as possible for as long as we can. Since we heat our 3,000 sqm shipyard hall in Estonia sustainably with regional wood, we are at least largely decoupled from oil and gas prices when it comes to heating costs. Nevertheless, our costs are also rising. Paints and resins, fiberglass materials, electricity, freight costs, and many supplier parts are now becoming significantly more expensive again than in the past two years. We will probably have to create new price lists soon.
With all these challenges, it is all the more important that each of us creates our own space to relax and recover. Where could that be better than on the water?
Once again, it holds true: after the fair is before the fair.
At the YACHTFESTIVAL, the largest in-water boat show in Northern Europe, we will present two Saare yachts and one VIKNES motor yacht.
We will showcase the beautiful Saare 38.2 and the outstanding Saare 47 in the harbor in Neustadt at Ancora Marina on pier V. You will find us, as in previous years, right at the front left of the sailing yacht pier at berths V 43 and V 41. Niels and Ronja Nielsen will be there to welcome you on board.
For our new representation of Norwegian VIKNES motor yachts, we are bringing a brand-new VIKNES S 35 to Neustadt. Our master boatbuilder Anton Albrecht will be on board; the yacht is located at pier U 18, almost at the very end on the right-hand side. Based on our own experience, we believe that VIKNES motor yachts are also a perfect alternative for sailors when sailing gradually becomes too demanding. We will be happy to advise you. |

Saare 38 sails in the Caribbean
|
|
After the Saare 38 HAVANNA successfully took part in the ARC regatta across the Atlantic, the Conrad couple have been sailing in the Caribbean since Christmas.
There, they also met the German Saare 41cc Tuuliki.
You can find a short report and some beautiful photos at this LINK. |

During the tests and video recordings with the YACHT team, we sailed the wireless Code sails from Elvström for the first time. These sails were on board both the Saare 41.2 and the brand-new Saare 38.2. Both the YACHT tester and we were absolutely impressed. With this innovative sail, you can sail significantly deeper than with a conventional Code 0, and the sails perform very well.
Thanks to their positive luff curve, they cover a wider range of wind angles and therefore partly belong to the family of asymmetric sails. With these sails, the luff must be tight when furling and slightly eased while sailing.
Give us a call or send us an email. We will let you know the delivery date, and you can enjoy the special conditions offered to Saare owners. |

New Saare dealer in Australia and New Zealand
|
|
A few weeks ago, a colleague from Australia contacted us to ask whether he could offer and sell Saare yachts. He represents several premium brands from Northern Europe and wanted to expand his portfolio to include high-quality cruising yachts.
He first shared information about this at the beginning of March at the boat show in Auckland, New Zealand. |

YSE Harbour in Eckernförde
|
|
Over the past weeks and months, a great deal of work has been carried out in various areas of our harbor. Welding work had to be done on the large fixed pier and the guest pier, as the winter once again took a heavy toll on our harbor facilities.
In the area of the historic wooden sheet piling, the top layer of oak planks was renewed, roof waterproofing was redone, and some roofs were partially re-covered.
We have completely rebuilt the sanitary facilities for harbor users. The old toilets and showers for men and women were completely stripped out and everything was redone. From the screed to the ceiling insulation, everything was renewed. We wanted to design everything in a modern way and—just as has long been common in Scandinavian countries—no longer separate areas for men and women, but instead create unisex spaces. There are now two smaller areas with WC and washbasin, as well as two large family bathrooms with shower, WC, and washbasin, where couples or even entire families can use the facilities together.
In addition, we have installed a large sink in the entrance area, where dishes can be washed, and a washing machine and dryer will also be put into operation shortly.
What still remains is to replace a new glass skylight on the historic store building, and finally, a powerful photovoltaic system is to be installed on the large hall roof.
So there is still quite a bit to do, and we ask all harbor tenants, guests, and shop customers for their understanding if disruptions occur from time to time. Unfortunately, some permits were only obtained very slowly and with considerable effort. In the area of the listed round warehouse and the wooden bridge, these processes are extremely complicated. |

Boat 2027 – 38.2 or 41.2
Are you interested in ordering next year’s show yacht with an attractive price advantage? You can still choose between the 38.2 or perhaps once again a 41.2.
The equipment can also still be freely specified at this stage. However, you should not wait any longer—we are now beginning with the planning and construction of this yacht. |

Saare 47
After two exceptionally beautiful sailing summers, we unfortunately have to sell our elegant Saare 47 for personal reasons. We would be happy to discuss the advantages of this yacht and our reasons for selling in a personal conversation. |
|
We have already launched about half of our winter-stored boats. Due to the long and cold winter, we are a few days behind schedule.
It is still quite chilly on the Baltic Sea, but on a well-insulated Saare yacht, you can already start into the summer now and enjoy the still-empty harbors.
Will we see you at the show in Neustadt or in our harbor in Eckernförde?
The Nielsen family |
