HanseYachts, RYCK, its third motorboat brand carrying the “Made in Germany” label.
The new brand was developed in cooperation with yacht designer Bill Dixon and aimed at sports-minded skippers and crews in the weekender segment.
The first model from the new brand is the RYCK 280. The RYCK can be configured in various ways to achieve the best possible layout for its intended use.
A 25cm-wide walk-around deck, guard railing and high freeboard all serve to make this a very safe boat. The step-less cockpit offers a lot of space and freedom of movement and, in addition to the standard L-shaped bench seat, can also be equipped with a table, fridge and a wet bar, including a grill or cooker.
The backrest of the bench seat folds down to create a second lounging area that complements the sunpad on the foredeck. The entire deck area can be shaded with the T-top and two additional awnings, while optional fishing rod holders and a tow bar for water skiing also appeal to active crew members. The large bathing platform with its ladder and a stern shower with hot and cold water make for carefree fun in the water. A bowsprit with an integrated anchor arm and an electric windlass guarantees safe and comfortable anchoring.
Below deck, the customer can opt for a modern furnished cabin with a large double berth; or large storage space for water sports equipment. A separate wet room is fitted as standard. The large windows in the coachroof allow plenty of natural light and fresh air into the interior.
Well protected by a stylish windscreen, the ergonomic driving position can be enhanced with a glass bridge control panel that includes two 12in plotters. A Mercury Verado outboard provides all the necessary power, with a choice of 250, 300 or 350hp.
The name RICK is based on the river of the same name that flows through Greifswald and connects the main production site of HanseYachts AG to the Baltic Sea. Since the company was founded in 1990 on the northern bank of the Ryck, HanseYachts AG has developed into one of the world’s largest manufacturers of series-produced sailing and motor yachts.
