Ode To A Special Marina
Nestled inside a 111-acre park on the edge of a suburban town on the South Shore of Long Island, Wantagh Park Marina is but a small piece of a large, town-run operation. There’s a huge pool with a splash pad and water slides, miles of bike trails, te

Shanty Men
Before the world irrevocably changed, I was going into the office every day. Monotony was an issue. To avoid feeling stymied, and itching for a brew, on the odd Monday night, myself and a few of the editors could be found congregating at the Griswold

The Great Debate
There’s been an explosion in the popularity of hullside windows in modern production boats over the past decade or so. As a result, they have infiltrated every segment of the yachting industry but one: American sportfishing convertibles. Let’s pick t

Line In The Sand
Men have gone to sea for thousands of years. During that span of time, indigenous tribes, naval architects, boatbuilders and stylists have experimented with everything imaginable regarding the outward appearance of boats. The idea that some person or

Captivating Captiva
The Florida Gulf Coast island of Captiva looks innocent enough on the map, a simple barrier island west of Fort Myers, but oh how the map deceives you. No map can show you how the sand, sea and sky mysteriously blend into the perfect concord capable

Pardo Endurance 60
There might not be anything conventional about its looks, but the thoroughly modern Pardo Endurance 60 is firmly rooted in the old cruising traditions of comfort, reliability and practicality. The drop-down bulwarks of the expanding cockpit will grab

Birth Of A Superhawk
Hawks are a common sight where I now live in rural-ish Connecticut. But I’m not originally from here, so it’s still kind of exciting to see them when out for a run or cruising the river. “Look, a hawk,” I’m known to say as I jab a finger towards the

Reader’s Choice Awards
This boat isn’t the product of a high-capacity production builder. Actually, that’s probably why this boat has engendered such intrigue. A collaboration of Lyman-Morse, C.W. Hood Yachts and Stephen Waring Yacht Design, the 57 LM debuted not under the

Race Against Time
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: a Welshman walks into a marina with a tarp. A tropical storm is brewing something fierce, and his antique wooden charter boat is like a cat to water, so he lashes the tarp down with bungee cords. It certainly looks l

Why 200
The venerable studio of Laurent Giles has designed some of the most beautiful motoryachts of the 20th century. Woodpecker of Poole was a particular favorite of mine, a gracefully understated 70-footer from 1948, with perfect proportions and an endles

The Rumrunners
The Roaring Twenties was a time of great social, cultural and economic change. A new society had emerged, one no longer bound by the restrictive morals that once dominated the Victorian era, or by the hardships endured during World War I. People want

Are You Ready for a Restoration?
You know you’re getting old when things you owned as a young man are now considered “classic.” The 289 Mustang I abused back in the early ‘70s today might be—after the application of thousands of dollars and as many hours of skilled labor—the pride o

Humility At The Helm
Some years ago, when Power & Motoryacht’s offices were berthed in New York City, I spent many an hour in a giant Manhattan high-rise composed of chrome, steel and glass. But every now and then, this seriously urbanized, decidedly un-boaty setting wou
