Dear followers,

Despite all our enthusiasm for superyachts, I must admit that there are smaller and less glamorous vessels which play a more important role in
terms of humanitarian aspects.One of these vessels is the 23.3m rescue cruiser MINDEN which supports refugee rescue missions in the Mediterranean.

Initiator Karl Treinzen who founded LIFE BOAT and who bought the MINDEN from the German Sea Rescue Society says:
"First of all I see the person in need. And if it’s within my power to help, I will help. As a human being, as a sailor,
as a Europan citizen I can and will not look the other way when it comes to the protection of human rights just at our front door".

Susanne Salm-Hain who is in charge of communication adds: "When they passed one of the small bundles in blankets to me and I realized
there was a newborn inside, I knew without the slightest doubt we are right in what we are doing here."

All that I can add is that I am convinced that we are right in supporting LIFE BOAT "Minden" and their courageous crew.
You will find all the information about LIFE BOAT at www.lifeboatproject.eu.

Dear owners, captains, brokers, shipyards, suppliers and all the other people involved in yachting!
You all can help saving lives by providing logistical support in the Mediterranean, by donating money, life rescue material and much more.
I urge you to get in touch with Susanne at LIFE BOAT to find out more about how you can help. Your support will be highly appreciated.

Peter Seyfferth
