Boatyard School
One of the things I thought I would miss most as a result of keeping our boat in the driveway was interacting with fellow boaters—the small talk about future boating plans, projects we’re working on and grousing about fuel prices. I needn’t worry for

18 Years to a Cleaner Sea
On a train from Vancouver to Montreal are 60 tons of empty drinking bottles, laundry detergent containers, plastic bags, nettings and other abandoned vessels and tools that now presume the role of discards. To the naked eye, it merely looks like a bu

Portland, Maine
Our first visit to Portland, Maine, was a one-night stop while traveling south from Nova Scotia. The next time we were cruising the Maine coast we stopped in Portland for four days. On our most recent New England adventure, we booked a stay at DiMill

Grand Banks 85
Twenty-five feet is the size of your average garden hose or extension cord, or five park benches lined up side by side. Those 300 inches made a world of difference when I took in the view of the 85 resting beside its 60-foot sistership at the show. E

Leopard 46 Powercat
The Leopard 46 Powercat looked a little out of place when I met her just after the 2022 Miami boat show. For one thing, owing to Leopard’s sailing roots, she was docked among the blowboats despite being very much a powerboat, with twin 370-horsepower

Tiara EX 60
Tiara Yachts, which has primarily focused on boats that fall within the 34-to 53-foot range, has announced a whopper: the debut of an inboard-powered EX 60. (EX stands for express, expedition, excursion and maybe even excitement.) This flagship heral

Lessons From The Sinking Of The Bounty
Capt. Robin Walbridge assembled his crew of 15 sailors on the deck of the Bounty—a 180-foot tall ship built for the 1962 movie Mutiny on the Bounty starring Marlon Brando. It was Thursday, October 25, 2012, and Walbridge knew the crew was hearing rep

Miami Heat
Miami is prefab. The experience of the metropolis from end to end is entirely constructed for your pleasure and not much else. The apartment buildings stand on lush stretches of beachfront a block away from cheap tchotchke shops, the humans are beaut

Water Spots Be Gone!
Here’s another seemingly simple chore that’s actually a pain—washing down your boat. To get the proper look that modern skippers want, it’s necessary to dry the boat with a chamois or microfiber towel after a full washdown. If you let the water dry n

Sea Dog
You’d expect, I suppose, that just about any adolescent golden retriever would literally jump at the chance to get aboard a sweet little trawler like the Betty Jane II. He’d spot her from afar—let’s say, from the backseat of a car in a marina parking
