FEATURES VIDEO. In the Galeon 470 Sky, the "flying bridge" is really more of a sun lounge with a helm installed on the coach roof and it can be covered at the touch of a button with a second sliding roof. The fold-out balcony and bar will be popular at anchor.
PRE-OWNED YACHT. This rare Hinckley 55 is built of Kevlar, E-Glass and carbon fiber, with balsa coring in the superstructure. The hull was painted in 2021. A hard Bimini protects the flying bridge and power is twin MAN 1360 diesels.
FIRST LOOK. With standard dive doors on both sides of the cockpit, the Tidewater 282 CC is as much a dive boat as a fishing boat. Her upswept sheer and Carolina flare mark her as a boat that should be able to handle offshore runs with aplomb.
PERFORMANCE VIDEO. It’s rare that a yacht under 100’ has a helipad, but Valder’s all-carbon fiber yacht does. This foiling catamaran has a beam of 22' (6.71 m) and carries an impressive 2,499 gal (9,460 L) of fuel, giving her a range over 700 NM at WOT.
PRODUCT REVIEW. Instead of being hinged and using surface area to lift the boat’s stern, Zipwake’s interceptor tabs drop straight down from the transom, creating lifting pressure beneath the boat to adjust the fore and aft running angle. Zipwake’s Dynamic Trim Control System has a gyroscopic sensor that balances the boat across the beam automatically by extending or retracting the port or starboard interceptor as needed.
Sailboats are more likely to have a man overboard, particularly when they are racing. Nevertheless, all boat owners need to instincitvely know what to do when the unexpected happens. You should also have MOB drills.
