Fans of The Beatles and of Formula Boats love that picture. I don't know the story behind Formula Boats but this is some of the history as I...
Listen to the pump ad nauseam is subjective. Pumps run. If it is running again and again and becoming annoying I get it, that’s ad nauseam. Here...
That is very understandable, I can imagine the price delta of a newish Bene Swift at the trawler fest sitting next to a newish Fleming or KK was...
As an owner of three beneteau sail boats over the years I am pretty sure the Swift is like everything else they design and build. They are well...
Good catch, anything without the Falling Waters WV address is junk mail. I seem to get these every year. At least it is a service that will update...

Fastest boat won, although ETNZ had to get warmed up and get the match racing rust off, once they did and started better and made cleaner...
Is it down to one tiny mistake then? If so, this is not my kind of racing. The hole shot is the thing in this race and the skippers are going to...
Good point, 12 K for 4 lights, he did say that. get out the hole saw, the boat is already hauled, let’s get some goop and get ‘er done for way less!
Water ingress is a possibility as @Capt J may or may not agree with. They can be fixed. DIY is possible. Shipwrights are recommended if you want...
Price out new RIBs lately?:)
If I am you with your purchase budget, RTW goals and ten year time line... I buy the Nordy now, put her in FL, hire a captain if need be as...
I thought I read that you hang a flashlight overboard, does that point downward or float more horizontally and spin around? My tender has UW...
