The citizen science project Sailing for Oxygen is a joint (citizen) research project between Trans-Ocean e.V. and the GEOMAR Research Center in Kiel. Sailors use a probe to help collect important data on temperature, oxygen and salt content on their trips in the Baltic Sea. The role model is Boris Herrmann, who also collects data on his trips with the Malizia in order to better understand climate change. We show how it works and how sailors can actively participate.

A lot can go wrong when looking for a boat if you buy a yacht without a plan. I'll show you how to avoid mistakes by taking a structured approach to your boat search and not jumping the gun out of infatuation. We'll discuss how to find a boat that suits you, your planned trips and your budget, and how to avoid making mistakes in the purchase process during price negotiations, the technical assessment of the yacht and the handover.

What is really important? What should I not do without? What do I need to look out for and how can I check my existing contract?
What do I do in the event of a claim? And how can I change the sum insured because my boat is worth more or less? And how is a value for the sum insured determined in the first place?
These and many other questions will be answered by Andreas Medicus, Managing Partner, on the Yacht Festival stage.
It goes without saying that one or two anecdotes will be shared from the sewing box!
An entertaining and informative excursion into the world of yacht insurance!
