At 138 feet (42 meters), the recently launched Sofia is Moonen’s largest build to date. Ordered by a repeat client, Sofia is also notable because she was designed to accommodate a three-passenger C-Quester 3 submersible from U-Boat Worx.
The National Coast Guard Museum Association has launched a website to assist in the fundraising and development of the new National Coast Guard Museum planned for downtown New London, Connecticut.
Conceived by an all-Austrian team of designers, naval architects and engineers, Frauscher’s new 858 Fantom brings yacht and automotive features together in a single project.
When the FAA approved the creation of a Light Sport Aircraft category, as well as the Sport Pilot License, it opened up a world of consumer-available aircraft. Icon Aircraft, a Southern California-based company, offers an attractive option.
More than a dozen yachts have announced plans to charter this season in Fiji, Tahiti, Tonga, Vanuatu and more—and the options for clients are expected to keep growing.
The 32M from Princess Yachts heralds the builder’s move into the superyacht fraternity.
Brand-centric gatherings typically offer owners the chance to interact with their peers in social settings, on cruises or on the racecourse. The subtext usually involves builders exposing owners to their latest models to set the stage for future upgrades. If that were the case at the fifth Perini Navi Cup, held in Porto Cervo on the Italian island of Sardinia in late August, no one was saying—or they could not have cared less.
Sporting a preppy pink button-down shirt and khakis, Charlie Dana zips into Newport Shipyard on his signature scooter. His distinguished silver hair blows back revealing a high patrician forehead, a devilish twinkle in his eyes and a bemused smile. He gives a friendly wave to various and sundry and stops to chat with a few individuals vying for his attention.
If I had to pick an office from which to work, the one on board the new Outer Reef Deluxbridge 720, Creative Edge, would be an easy choice. Most of us need an office aboard because even if we aren’t running a day-to-day business, there are personal affairs to keep in order. But on-board offices are too often cobbled together from a shared dressing table in a dark corner.
If there is one word that could describe why we take to the water in boats, perhaps it is “escape.” We use our boats to escape from the rigors of the workaday world; we use them to escape the bounds of familiar surroundings; we use them to escape from the ordinary patterns of our lives. They transport us away from things and to things.
