As summer comes to an end, we'll be visiting Hiswa te Water 2026 to catch up with the yacht and recreational boating community.

From innovative yacht designs to conversations on the dock, it's one of those events that celebrates everything we enjoy about being on the water.

It's also a reminder that great yacht performance isn't defined by just one number. Comfort, efficiency and the overall experience all play their part, and good hydrodynamics quietly bring them together.

The summer may be winding down, but the maritime exhibition season is just getting started. 🇩🇪

Our next stop is Hamburg, where we'll be returning to SMM – one of the world's leading events for the maritime industry.

It's a place where shipowners, designers, shipyards and technology companies come together to exchange ideas, explore innovations and shape the future of vessel design.

📍 𝐒𝐌𝐌 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔
📅 𝟏–𝟒 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔
📌 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝟕.𝟓𝟎𝟒 – 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧

If you're attending, be sure to stop by and say hello. We look forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and catching up in Hamburg!

Our Sales Managers Arjen Barendse and Lex Blok will be at the stand throughout the exhibition. In addition, the Hull Vane team will be visiting SMM on 2 September – a great opportunity to connect with us and discuss your vessel or project.

Whether you're working on a new-build or considering a retrofit, we'd love to exchange ideas.

See you in Hamburg! ⚓

It's more than the finished product you see beneath the stern.

Every Hull Vane® starts with a proven concept.

Our 𝗧-𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 and 𝗨-𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 are designed for a wide range of vessels, while our 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 are developed for applications that require a fully custom solution.

From there, every application is optimised for the vessel's operational profile.

Before manufacturing begins, we evaluate:

✓ Operating profile
✓ Displacement and trim
✓ Hydrodynamic optimisation (using CFD simulations)

The connection to the vessel is then engineered, manufactured and supported throughout the installation process.

The result?

A smoother ride.
Less pitching.
Lower fuel consumption.
Greater range.

Good hydrodynamics quietly improve every journey, allowing you to focus on what really matters: enjoying your time on the water.

As summer is in full swing, we're wishing everyone safe voyages, calm seas, and unforgettable moments on board. ☀️⚓

𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐇𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐞®!

The first 𝗔𝘇𝗶𝗺𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲 𝟰𝟰𝗠 has been launched, marking another exciting application of Hull Vane® technology in the superyacht sector.

As the largest yacht ever built by Azimut Yachts, this 43.85-metre flagship combines lightweight carbon fibre construction, hybrid propulsion and Hull Vane® technology to improve efficiency, comfort and sustainability.

By reducing wave-making resistance and optimizing stern flow, Hull Vane® helps lower fuel consumption and emissions while improving onboard comfort through reduced pitch and roll motions.

Congratulations to Azimut and everyone involved in bringing this remarkable yacht to life. We are proud that Hull Vane® is part of this flagship project and look forward to seeing the Grande 44M make her public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival.

Myth vs. Reality #4: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥

When people talk about vessel efficiency, the conversation usually starts with fuel savings.

And understandably so. Fuel savings are measurable, visible, and easy to calculate.

But that's not always the first improvement captains and crews experience.

A Hull Vane® doesn't just reduce resistance, it also influences how a vessel behaves at sea.

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀:

⚓ More stable tracking
🌊 Reduced pitching
⚓ Better behaviour in waves
😊 Greater comfort during long operations
💪 Less fatigue for crew and passengers

Why?

Because hydrodynamics affect much more than fuel consumption.

A Hull Vane® is designed to reduce resistance, but it also improves a vessel's hydrodynamic behaviour.

Sea trials and operational experience have demonstrated that reducing vessel motions delivers significant operational advantages alongside lower fuel consumption, particularly for offshore vessels, patrol vessels, ferries and workboats operating in challenging conditions.

Because performance isn't just about what happens in the engine room.

It's also about what happens on the bridge.
