“…One of the coolest boats I have had the pleasure to spend time on. It is a radical design to some, but its features really expand and address alternatives to traditional boat design. It has inherent stability, but also has fin stabilizers and flopper-stoppers. It is a terrific sea boat, but is also a nice home for living aboard. In many ways it is a return to boat designs of the early part of the last century, with a long and lean hull. But it is also a pinnacle of technology within the caveat of maintaining self-sufficiency…” (Click here<\/a> for full text and photos – 12.5mb.)

Barry Thompson spent an afternoon aboard Wind Horse<\/em>, a few days prior to its delivery trip from Auckland to Los Angeles and discovered a vessel that could well become the benchmark for future ocean capable passagemakers.” (Full text and photos will be available for download soon.)

“If ‘location, location, location’ is the motto of the real estate business, then ‘purpose, purpose, purpose’ is the marine industry counterpart-a mantra no one believes as strongly as Steve Dashew. We saw how Dashew applied function to form in the conception of his legendary Deerfoot and Sundeer sailing yachts. He’s at it again, but this time he’s designed a motoryacht that he affectionately calls the Unsailboat.” (Click here<\/a> for full text and photos – 100k.)
