Sailing Yacht Aaris

Pictures of the Aaris

„When the wind of change blows, some build walls and others build windmills.“

A lot had to be done and so I want to finish in 2025 so that I can then sail to the Mediterranean in August/September 2025. The Aaris should meet my expectations and also be suitable for long-distance sailing. So far I have mainly been sailing in the beautiful Bay of Lübeck and in Denmark.

Here are a few pictures:

The berth of the Aaris in Lübeck on the Teerhof Island

I was able to do a lot myself, so I got to know the Aaris very well:

The aluminum hull had to be examined and reconditioned
- The underwater hull was sandblasted by Strahltechnik Nord
- A keel shoe was welded onto the bottom from Fa. Tiedemann Maschinenbau for safety reasons
- The underwater hull was rebuilt by Strahltechnik Nord
- The surface ship was also sandblasted and painted in cobalt blue by Marco Cassels Strahltechnik Nord.
  They did a great job!

I have always received great support in word and deed from the brothers Rainer and Holger Kregehr, the owners of Trave Montage. They will now hand over to the Lübeck Yacht shipyard in 2025 and go into their well-deserved retirement.

She is easy to sail and you always feel safe, in waves and with more wind

The Aaris was also on display in Passathafen/Travemünde at the beginning of April.

At first, there was scepticism because of the long keel, but now you can see that in more wind she is much more stable and safer, the bow goes nicely into the waves. However, reversing can be exhausting.
