Marg / ACTIV

Exp

40 years ago, Hamburg architect Volkwin Marg acquired the decommissioned Danish cargo ship ACTIV. Over several years, the lover of historic shipbuilding restored the wooden ship, which was launched in 1951 at the Ring Andersen shipyard in Svendborg.

To date, the 3-masted topsail schooner ACTIV has travelled well over 400,000 nautical miles under sail.

Marg talks about the people who accompanied him on board and also about encounters with friends, artists and colleagues in search of cultural and historical destinations. The book provides numerous insights into life on board the ACTIV, proving that there is no shortage of imaginative fun and a consistently great galley.

The illustrated book is the chronicle of a great project that is unrivalled in this form.

336 pages with 54 black and white and 455 colour photos, six maps, five drawings and plans, format 28 x 30 cm, hardcover, with ribbon marker. German edition.

DER VERSCHENKTE SIEG / Bernard Moitessier

DER VERSCHENKTE SIEG / Bernard Moitessier

The classic of ocean sailing: Bernard Moitessier abandoned the first non-stop single-handed race around the world in 1969 shortly before the finish and disappeared into the South Seas for years.Moitessier was considered the likely winner of the well-paid 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe Yacht Race when, after rounding the third of the great capes (Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin and Cape Horn) in the Atlantic, he turned away to "save his soul". Renouncing fame and the cash prize, he cemented his legendary reputation as a philosopher among circumnavigators and coined statements such as: "A long ocean voyage is the shortest way to yourself."At the time, however, the whole world initially shook its head in disbelief when the Frenchman sailed to the solitude of the Tahitian Islands instead of the English harbour. His book "La longue route" (original title of the book) describes the background to his decision. In addition to vivid descriptions of the wildlife of the three great oceans, the skies over the southern hemisphere and the struggle for survival on his 39-foot yacht JOSHUA, Moitessier also provides deep insights into the world of his thoughts.With his attention to detail, depth of thought and great enthusiasm, Bernard Moitessier still captivates every sailing enthusiast today.50 years after the legendary Golden Globe Race in 1968/69, which Sir Robin Knox-Johnston won as the first non-stop single-handed circumnavigator (and only finisher), the Golden Globe Race 2018 and La Longue Route 2018 are two commemorative round-the-world races for single-handed sailors. The Golden Globe Race 2022/23 was won by South African Kirsten Neuschäfer.272 pages, 30 photos, 7 maps, 41 drawings, format 13.5 x 21.5 cm, paperback. German edition.

FOLKEBOOT PAULA / Nicolas Thon

FOLKEBOOT PAULA / Nicolas Thon

The title is being discontinued by the publisher - therefore now at a special price!A man and his boat: a great love.Daredevil manoeuvres, energy-sapping crossings, accompanied by rough gusts and violent adrenaline rushes. Leaning. Splashing water. Rocking in the swell. Breaking cloud cover or a downpour out of the blue just before docking: hardly a sailing day passes without surprises.But isn't the real adventure to drink the first sip of coffee in the morning sun to the twittering of birds and the cry of seagulls, to let your gaze wander over the shore of the anchorage and to know that you have only reached this dreamlike place through your own skill and on your own keel?Both aspects - spectacular sailing and deep enjoyment - can be experienced particularly intensively on a small, unpretentious boat. A Folkeboat, as we have known for 75 years, is perfect for this.How great moments of happiness can be, how deep the love for the boat, for the sea, for sailing, has been experienced by Nicolas Thon since the moment he laid eyes on his PAULA - which taught him everything, also took command itself sometimes, never bitched excessively and showed him: When the spare canister flies through the cockpit, there is clearly too much wind!224 pages, numerous photos. Format 23,1 x 15,4 cm. Paperback. German edition.

TOT GEGLAUBT / Ronald Holst

TOT GEGLAUBT / Ronald Holst

Storms and failing winds, fog and inhospitable coasts, illnesses and accidents. The sea voyages of the past lasted a long time and were dangerous in many ways. Sailors who returned home were by no means always unharmed, either physically or mentally.Viet, 14 years old, is now at the age when ship's boys go on their first big voyage. In 1862, the barque COMET set sail from Blankenese on Viet's first voyage. Through the English Channel and across the Atlantic to South America. Life on board is extremely hard for the boy. One sailor turns out to be a violent criminal and murderer, others are alcoholics or sexually ill, infected with yellow fever or driven by special sexual inclinations.Not all of those who set sail from Hamburg reach the South American coast on the COMET. Viet survives and sets off in search of his uncle, who has long been missing off Chile. It is not until five years later that he returns home. 192 pages. Format 14.1 x 20.8 cm, hardcover.

ALLEIN UM DIE WELT SEGELN / Joshua Slocum

ALLEIN UM DIE WELT SEGELN / Joshua Slocum

"The pioneering spirit, the firm belief in the laws of nature and the humility towards the sea characterise the greatness of Joshua Slocum and the significance of 'Sailing alone around the World'. This story full of salt and wind is a legacy to sailors who, like him, sail the oceans," writes Wilfried Erdmann in the foreword.As the first German single-handed circumnavigator, Erdmann can empathise with Joshua Slocum's merit and sailing achievements like no other.From 1895 to 1898, Joshua Slocum was the first person to sail solo around the world and thus became a role model for numerous subsequent solo sailors. In his account of this unique voyage, Slocum not only tells of the challenges that the ocean presented to captain and ship, but also of the poetry of life on the high seas. The matter-of-factness of the logbook writer is transformed in an inimitable way into raptures about the immensity of nature. The descriptions of the adversities against which his ship SPRAY has to fight are often not without a certain humour.For the first time, German-speaking readers are presented with the graphics from the original American edition from 1900. Manfred Braun, himself an enthusiastic sailor and a specialist in shipping topics, has retranslated the text from the American edition. Notes and a glossary also make it easier for modern amateur sailors to familiarise themselves with sailing at the end of the 19th century.280 pages, 68 illustrations and graphics, format 13.5 x 20 cm, hardcover, dust jacket.

THE FOLKBOAT STORY / Dieter Loibner

THE FOLKBOAT STORY / Dieter Loibner

This title is being discontinued by the publisher - make sure you get one of the last available copies.This fascinating book describes the history of the popular Nordic Folkboat.Developed in Scandinavia in the 1930s, the boat became famous for its minimalist design, robustness and seaworthiness.Dieter Loibner takes us through the history of the folkboat community right up to the present day. He tells us about those who compete in regattas around the world, as well as the long-time fans who simply want to go on tour with friends and family and those who have prevented the boat, with its characteristic wooden clinker hull, from ever being significantly altered in its construction details.Precise descriptions and the excellent selection of designs and photos make for enjoyable reading. The foreword was written by Tania Aebi. At the age of 18, she set off on a single-handed circumnavigation of the world, which she was the first American to achieve. From 1985 to 1987, she travelled on her VARUNA - a Contessa 26 and thus a kindred spirit of the Nordic Folkboat.
