Beneteau Monte Carlo 32 Open Boat Review

The afternoon we spent on Sydney Harbour was in windy but reasonable weather. The Volvos delivered enough power to push the 32 open to a speed of 35 knots with a bit of grunt left to spare.Find out more

Hampton 680 Pilothouse Cruiser Review

From the flybridge and the lower helm station the corners of the boat can’t be seen, so a third control station is positioned in the cockpit for docking, useful when just 2 of you onboard.Find out more

Stabicraft 533XR & 643HT Reviews

Walking up to a Stabicraft there's no avoiding that initial visual step back most seem to take. Yet on closer inspection I find my first reaction fades into acceptance. It will never win a beauty pageant but we should still appreciate a Stabicraft's safety and handling abilitiesFind out more

Out on the water the Sunseeker 75 Yacht lives up to the formable reputation her predecessors have earned.
