ICE 60
The concept behind the ICE 60 is stylish cruising at speed. This
new Felci design defi nitely errs toward the racier end of the
cruiser spectrum and as an example of her performance cre-
dentials, hull and deck lamination is a hybrid carbon-glass fi bre.
The upshot is a yacht that her manufacturers claim will cruise
without fuss at 10 knots. Her rig is simple and easy to control,
featuring no runners and a self-tacking jib. Down below, she is
stylish and exceptionally roomy with the option of either three
or four cabins.

Hanse 588
The Hanse 588 features the trademark plumb bow and stern combined with a soft turn of the bilges and
high freeboard with lots of internal volume. In common with the rest of the Hanse range, she features a
powerful sail area with the standard self-tacking jib and the option of a second forestay for a reaching
sail. She comes with three di erent basic layout options. One of the standout features is what Hanse
terms the ‘silent master cabin concept’ with lots of extra sound insulation to keep things quiet.

Lake Constance Pilot Cutter
A pilot cutter on Lake Constance (which has no history of pilot
cutters), a boat with traditional looks and gaΠrig, but with a
hydraulic lifting bulb keel – this new creation by Swiss boat
builder Stefan Züst in Altnau is bound to have the purists and
the traditionalists up in arms, but those who enjoy a handsome
day sailer, fast enough to overtake many modern yachts, should
look no further. With modern blocks and lines, she is an unusual
mix of up-to-date and vintage, but she has been designed to
be sailed single-handed on inland waters or as a family at sea,
where her mini-sprayhood will come in handy.
