Dehler Yachts are world-renowned performance sailing yachts native to Germany. A part of the Dutch-Canadian Neptune group, Dehler’s factory is located in Meschede-Freienohl, Sauerland, Germany. The factory facilities include a research department. Innovations line Dehler’s history, such as the central winch system and the self-tacking jib. Hulls, made of polyester, are hand-laid up and the resins used guard against ultraviolet rays and harsh chemicals. While still in their respective molds, the hull and deck are joined together by lamination. The sailing yachts produced range from 25 feet to 47 feet in length. Among many other Dehler awards, the Dehler 36 has been given the “Boat of the Year” award in France and in Germany. Almost all of the yachts are European certified as A CE construction.

Hylas Yachts , headquartered in Marblehead, Massachusetts, builds semi-custom performance sailing yachts that are cost-effective. Hylas yachts are manufactured at a shipyard named Queen Long Marine in Taiwan. Sizes of the sailing yachts range from 46 to 66 feet long, and include raised saloon and pilothouse versions. Optionally available on the smaller yachts and a standard on the larger yachts is the usage of Twaron™, a special fiber designed to be multiply stronger than steel, and both stronger and markedly lighter than fiberglass. Twaron™ also has the benefit of perforation reduction. Vinylester resins for lamination and two layers of epoxy barrier coat are applied to Hylas yachts, to avoid osmotic blistering. Crusing World Magazine named the Hylas 54 "Boat of the Year" for Full Size Cruiser.
