PASSION. PERSEVERANCE. STAYING POWER.
Sailing is your passion? Whether you're a hobby sailor or a professional - you've come to the right place. We are professional sailors ourselves in the Class 40 and have also sailed successfully in the Class MINI 6.5.
We now apply our knowledge as professional sailors to other boats in our Hamburg shipyard, which includes both boatbuilding and sailmaking. Almost everything we build has been tested by us under professional conditions and found to be good.
We are also happy to provide support with sail training, regatta preparations or transfers.

We will be there for you quickly and uncomplicated!
ABOUT US.
Lennart Burke and Melwin Fink: 2 men – one passion
The fascination to sail grew as we were children and because of that we invested a lot of time and energy for our sailing campaigns as we were pupils. In 2021 we both took part in the Mini Transat, sailing single handed and were able to establish in professional sailing.
But we wanted more.
At the end of 2022 “Next Generation Boating GmbH” was founded and since then we are sailing together as “Next Generation Sailing Team”. With a lot of ambition, motivation and enthusiasm we face new challenges of this sailing class all time and keep on building up our skills in the international offshore sailing races.
Our results up to now in class 40 races:
2nd place
Caribbean 600
15th place
Transat Jacques Vabre
4thplace Rolex Fastnet Race
8th place Normandy Channel Race
4th place Arcore Race
CLASS 40.
With a length of 12,5 metres the class 40 is one of the most attractive class of the international offshore sailing scene. It is known as the entry between class mini and the Imoca class (Vendée Globe) and fascinates thousands of spectators all over the world to starting and finishing harbors. These boats impress with their high technical design and their high speed.
Most famous races of this class are for example the Rolex Fastnet Race or the Transat Jaques Vabre, one of the hardest doublehanded race of the world.
CLASS MINI 6.5.
The class mini 6.5 got his name because of the short length of 6.50 meters. It is the entering boat class for singlehanded sailing. Sailed are races at the coasts or transatlantic. Especially the Mini Transat Race is fascinating people worldwide as the skipper has to sail without any contact to the outside world facing the challenges of the Atlantic ocean.
