We, the staff of the Piracy Prevention Center (PPZ), advise German sailors on voyages through areas at risk of piracy and provide up-to-date threat alerts regarding pirate attacks worldwide. Our core competencies include conducting risk assessments and analyzing the current situation regarding crimes specific to sailing yachts, as well as developing concrete recommendations for action. Its work is complemented by workshops, monitoring, and ongoing support for long-distance and round-the-world sailors active worldwide.

Marco Haase is the second-generation owner of HAASE SEGEL, a sail-making business founded in 1960, which he successfully runs.

His passion for sailing began at a young age. He started out on an Optimist and can now be found sailing cruising and racing yachts on the Baltic Sea and in the Mediterranean. Thanks to his extensive sailing experience on various yachts with different sailing designs, he has comprehensive expertise in the various types of sails and their applications.

More than a decade ago, Haase Segel joined the innovative sail-making group OneSails to expand its product portfolio.

OneSalls is an association of more than 50 independent sailmakers with their own production facilities.

OneSails’ goals are:
1. To develop innovative products that benefit a broad target audience.
2. To manufacture high-quality, well-designed, and durable sails.
3. Utilizing short supply chains to keep our environmental footprint as small as possible. Most of the materials we use come from Germany or Europe.
4. Continuous professional development in all technologies through active exchange with colleagues, suppliers, and you, our customers.
5. A comprehensive range of services so you can focus on enjoying your sailing.

HAASE SEGEL serves customers in Germany, the Netherlands, and the Mediterranean.

To that end, we work with shipyards, service providers, riggers, and sailmakers. In addition to German, we also speak English, Italian, and a little rusty French.
