7 May 2009 - Hanse Yachts buy Dehler

"HanseYachts AG has announced today that the preliminary board of creditors at the insolvent Dehler shipyard has agreed to its bid to acquire the traditional Dehler brand.

More than 45 years ago, the yacht-builder Willi Dehler not only developed Germany's largest yacht yard of the time - he also realised innovations in the construction and fitting of sailboats which were so revolutionary that they still prevail today. He was also responsible for the fact that the Dehler brand made sailing as a sport affordable and therefore available to a broader public.

Nowadays however, it is very difficult for niche producers to maintain production with maximum demands on quality and fittings. Under HanseYachts Group management, the Dehler brand has the opportunity to benefit from the purchasing and manufacturing advantages offered by a large-scale producer. At the plant in Meschede-Freienohl in Sauerland, there are plans to produce mid-size Dehler yachts. Bigger Yachts will be manufactured in a separate production facility in Greifswald.

One other aim of the restructuring measures is to develop the Freienohl site as an exhibition and service centre. Its convenient geographic location is ideal for creating Germany's first water sports centre featuring a permanent exhibition of various sail and motor boats, yacht insurance and financing, manufacturers of water sports accessories, sail-makers and other businesses specialising in the area of water sports.

This combined concept is expected to create several new jobs."

4 April 2009 - Over for another year!

The annual Fremantle Boat Show held on the weekend of the 27th, 28th, and 29th of March 2009 gave one of the largest showings of Hanse Yachts in WA so far. The Hanse 350, first into WA, and the Hanse 430e, with its lovely teak decks, were on show and placed in the heart of the Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour in front of some of the best cafes and restaurants in Fremantle.

Market Crisis? You wouldn't know with over 300 people through the two yachts over three days; not only were the numbers fantastic and well up on the 2008 showing, but there are a number of serious clients interested in the 350 as well as other models. Many of the comments surrounded the openness of the yachts with an array of windows and hatches to let the fresh sea breeze in on the hot summer afternoons. Other comments were directed towards the sleek lines, race inspired hull, ease of sailing evident from the rig setup and the well thought through interior that was not only functional but also practical.

It is no secret that when selling a Hanse or any boat it is the dream that sells; with a Hanse Yacht the dream comes itself. One dream that seemed to be common among so many of those that looked through was the ability to head off on an adventure. At a time when the news surrounds all the things going wrong in the world a dream based on creating good memories is so important - more important than the dream is that it can be reality!

On behalf of the Ben Lexcen Marine Team thank you for coming on board and we hope you have many safe sails.
