Since September 2023, I have taken on a new challenge and now work at Pantaenius Yacht Insurance.
The underwater hull... for many boat owners it can only be worked on very laboriously and usually with moderate success. But a well-maintained underwater hull is the guarantor for the value retention of a yacht.
Rust on the keel, leaking rubber joint in the keel-hull connection, damp rudder blade, over-coating, osmosis?
What is osmosis, how can it be detected, how can it be prevented or remedied? Is there a professional answer to rust and corrosion in steel and aluminum?
These are the questions we will address in our lecture and, with the help of clear photographic material, we will provide an entertaining and to the point insight into the professional underwater ship refit with the technical possibilities of the specialist.
The experts at Peter Wrede Yacht Refits specialize in yacht painting and underwater hull refurbishment: osmosis prevention / remediation, corrosion protection, blasting and coating. For more than 30 years, everything we do has revolved around protecting the surfaces of yachts. With our team we realize the refit wishes of our customers in modern blasting and painting facilities at our locations in Hamburg, Neustadt, Kappeln and Greifswald.
Florian Brix, our man "at the front" has been part of the Wrede team for over 15 years and has seen just about every refit case. With his expert knowledge and great photographic material, he provides insights into the professional Peter Wrede underwater ship refit.
Small cause, big effect: Pantaenius handles more than 6,000 claims every year. A large proportion of these could have been prevented with the simplest of preventive measures. Dirk Hilcken explains what boat owners can do themselves to avoid unnecessary risks on the water. The insurance expert also provides an overview of insurance policies - which ones make sense and which ones are necessary?
This Atlantic Challenge is known as one of the toughest rowing races in the world. The start of this annual event is in mid-December. Like all previous sailors, the race starts from the island of La Gomera (Canary Islands), more precisely in the port of San Sebastian de la Gomera. The finish port is in the Caribbean on the beautiful island of Antigua, heading west-southwest. In between there is only the Atlantic Ocean with a distance of 3000 nautical miles or about 4800 kilometers.

With its 12.5 meter boats, the Class 40 is one of the most attractive classes in international ocean sailing. It is regarded as a stepping stone between the Class Mini and the IMOCA class (Vendée Globe) and attracts thousands of spectators to the starting and arrival ports worldwide. The boats impress with their high-tech boat design and speed. Well-known regattas in this class include the Rolex Fastnet Race and the Transat Jaques Vabre, which is considered the toughest double-handed race in the world.
