The yachting circle was buzzing in February 2026 with new builds impressing sea enthusiasts around the world. One which particularly commandeered attention was a stunning new creation by Lürssen - the mesmerizing 102-metre Superyacht Jassj. This was launched in Germany, marking its debut since its technical launch in 2023. The yacht, shrouded in secrecy, is a splendid assembly of steel and aluminium design by British studio RWD, providing lavish accommodation for 22 guests in 11 cabins, along with a crew of 37.\
Among other noteworthy stories was the unveiling of the heart-stopping Leapher Yacht’s first vessel from The Netherlands. Yet another craft of luxury that drew eyes was the new counterpart to Gabe Newell’s 111-metre Leviathan.\

Inland sailing is a passion that comes its share of challenges. Rivers and canals each presenting a unique set of circumstances requiring extra attention whilst afloat. Man-made canals often have little or no water flow, and rely on locks to change water levels. Rivers, on the other hand, always witness a downstream flow which concludes at another river or perhaps a tidal location. They too rely on locks to accommodate boats when the water level change is too monumental. These structures are often accompanied by a weir and sluices to manage the level and flow of the navigable river.
