Bavaria: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 4/A 35
After its Sport 35 HT, Bavaria in Giebelstadt in Franconia is presenting its Sport 44 HT (13.83 m) in the Highline Edition as its world premiere.

Galeon: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 4/A 39
With its special, striking design, the 13.5 m Galeon 445 HTS embodies what is now the third generation from its Polish boatyard. Large windows and what is almost a glass hood over the helm station make its interior bright and airy. In the forward cabin there are more skylights than usual. The master cabin has an en suite shower bathroom and at the stern a garage offers space for a jet ski. http://www.galeonyachts.us/
Beneteau: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 4/B 57
The 13.88 m MC 4 is the starter model of the luxury series of Bénéteau in France, a series noted for its timeless design and select materials rare in this segment.

Jeanneau (Powerboats) Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 4/C 38 and Hall/Stand 6/D 58 (Prestige)
Jeanneau is attending with six(!) new motor boats:
– Leader 40 High performance and contemporary design best define the personality of the new Leader 40.
– Velasco 43 (13.7 m) with a flybridge has been designed with a highly tapered hull for high-speed cruising in all sea conditions.

– Cap Camarat 4.7 CC
– Cap Camarat 5.5 CC Series 2 is a 5.48 m multi-purpose boat with a centre helm console that will appeal to anglers and water-skiing enthusiasts alike.

Minor Offshore: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 5/E 22
The flybridge version of the German premiere Minor 36 Offshore (11.8 m) from Finland has been tested in the wind tunnel. To prevent air turbulence caused by the design-related negative angle of the windscreen windows and the resultant back-up of air on the flybridge, a completely newly designed cabin roof unit has been developed in the wind tunnel. The result is low-wind motoring pleasure on the flybridge even at high speeds. http://www.minoroffshore.fi/
Sunseeker: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 6/B 61
With its 15.85 m Manhattan 55, which replaces the Manhattan 53, Sunseeker in the United Kingdom is responding to frequent customer requests to have the galley positioned either on the main deck or below deck. This affects the number of wet rooms. While both the full-beam owner’s suite and the bow guest cabin are equipped as standard with an en suite bathroom. The optional third wet room depends on the galley layout. http://www.sunseeker.com/en
Ferretti Yachts: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 6/D 28
The 21.07 m Ferretti Yachts 690, a German premiere from Italy, is following the boatyard’s current style with sportier exterior lines and a sleeker and more dynamic profile. The broader glazing makes the superstructure look lighter. It letsmakes also and lets plenty of natural light into the saloon. The space on the main deck is clearly structured, with an indoor helm station to the fore with, behind it, the galley that can be closed off from the saloon by means of a glass sliding door and another glazed sliding door separating the saloon from the roomy cockpit. The flybridge has been optimised over that of the boatyard’s earlier models. http://www.ferretti.com/yachts
Crowline: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 9/A 42
With its 9.34 m and almost 5 t (deadweight) Crownline 294 CR, the US boatyard is filling the gap between the 264 CR and 330 CR in the Cruiser series. The new vessel has space for entertaining guests. It combines the amenities of a cruiser with the power of a sports boat. As for propulsion, up to 600 hp is possible. The already established 6.84 m Crownline E 2 is now also available in an outboard version. The highlight of this model is the head, so that extended trips are no longer a problem. http://crownline.com/
Quicksilver: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 9/D 39
Quicksilver is a Brunswick brand. Its vessels, built in Poland, is attending with three new boats: the Captur 605 Pilothouse, 675 Pilothouse and Activ 855. Its good use of space in the cockpit with a large open space for several anglers andgangways that permit rapid access to all areas of the boat make the 605 Pilothouse (5.75 m)
and 675 Pilothouse (6.55 m) perfect angling companions. The Activ 855 Cruiser (8.91 m) is designed for cruising in inland and coastal (CE B) waters. With a choice between single and double outboard engines with up to 2 x 200 hp and various
inboard engines up to 300 hp, it offers all the drive options to suit customer preferences. http://www.quicksilver-boats.com/quicksilver
Dufour yachts: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand16/A 38
Dufour in France is rounding off its product line with a bottom-of-
the-range model, the 310 Grand Large, a 9.67 m German premiere. Unique in this bracket is its equipment with two helm stations and two rudder blades. These are necessary, as the 310 GL can also be supplied with a centreboard. This is an optional alternative alongside the fixed-keel variant. Its spaciousness is astonishing. The yacht designed by Umberto Felci follows the new design at Dufour. http://www.dufour-yachts.com/
Jeanneau (Sailing): Boot 2014 Hall/Stand16/B 02
In its line of cruising yachts, Jeanneau in France is showing the 10.34 m Sun Odyssey 349 for the first time in Germany.

Bénéteau is presenting its new Oceanis 38, an 11.5 m yacht with a
revolutionary concept. Its basic furnishings are in the loft style, but fully extensible. The customer can thus configure the boat of his dreams from the three versions of Daysailer, Weekender and Cruiser. http://www.beneteau.com/
Wauquiez: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand 16/B 57
Olivier Racoupeau has endowed the 17.4 m Centurion 57, which he has designed for
Wauquiez (France), with superyacht attributes. Luxury and comfort dominate the interior. Waxed teak, leather, glass and stainless steel give the 9/10-type rigged sloop its own modern character. Its roomy interior is flooded with daylight thanks to its many large deck hatches and two panoramic portholes in the hull. http://www.wauquiez.com/
Allures Yachting: Boot 2014 Hall/Stand16/D 42
Allures Yachting, a boatyard located in Normandy, France, that concentrates on the construction of aluminium sailing yachts, is showing its 12.65 m Allures 39.9 as its new vessel. It is the little sister of the already established Allures 45 and similar to her in many respects. She thus has a retracting keel and a deck coating of teak-imitation plastic and is largely the work of Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design. According to the boatyard, a small crew can circumnavigate the world on it. http://www.allures.fr/
