As one market cools, another hots up as this issue takes a temperature check on the respective German and Middle East boating markets.

Consolidation may be on the cards for many as the industry pins its hopes on interest rate cuts and a rebound in 2025, but this issue flags three firms determined to hold their own growth course despite the macro-economic headwinds: celebrating its 10^th anniversary we chart the rise of Axopar and ask what next for the brand that shook up boating; we report on the strategy to put heritage sailing firm Henri-Lloyd back on top; and reveal veteran boat hoist specialist Sunstream’s plan to build volume and profits.
