Sabreline 36 Aft Cabin
Three things about the 36 immediately stand out. Firstly, there's the significant extra privacy provided by having the two sleeping cabins at opposite ends of the boat.
-
Proline 2610
Even in the US, where sportsfishing is enormously popular, boats like the 2610 Walkaround are commonly used as multi-purpose sportsboats.
-
Nord West 330
The 330 has a strong sense of identity: it's not going to be confused with other boats, even those related by their aft-cockpit, non-flybridge layout. So what can it offer?
-
Nelson Nelson 34
For a boat with working-class roots, the Nelson 34 attracts more than its share of admiring glances. But, as Starlet confirms, the tried and tested hull can play as well.
-
Moonraker 36
Throughout its production life, the Moonraker was in constant development. There were at least six different series and two different builders.
-
Linssen Linssen Grand Sturdy 460
Linssen's Grand Sturdy provides us with a good excuse to examine the pros and cons of more leisurely cruising.
-
Fairline Squadron 62 Fairline Squadron 62
With the majority of these boats heading for the sunshine, the flybridge is often the busiest and most important area of the deck.
-
Fairline Targa 29 Fairline Targa 29
The handling of the smallest Targa was very impressive
-
Fairline Phantom 38 Fairline Phantom 38
Having a four-year-old Princess 360, a contemporary Princess and Sunseeker available for comparison was an enlightening experience
-
Fairey Huntsman 28
In the racy flower power years, the Huntsman 28 was clocking up fast Speeds and a sexy image of powerboating.
-
Cranchi Endurance 39 Cranchi Endurance 39
Worldwide building standards have improved significantly over the past few years, and the boats that MBY tests have fewer and fewer shortcomings.
-
Carver 450 Voyager
Remember when people-carriers like the Renault Espace first came to the UK?
-
Botnia Targa 30 Botnia Targa 30
The Botnia Targa 30 has a touch of the eccentric inventor about it. It's quirky, full of interesting and unusual ideas, and is slightly strange to look at.
-
Birchwood 310
Birchwood are actually offering two types of boat in a single shell.
-
Azimut Quarantasei 46 Azimut Quarantasei 46
Azimut's engineering installation is exceptional for a production powerboat.
-
Aqua-Star OceanRanger 38 Aqua-Star OceanRanger 38
You don't expect to find a boat called an OceanRanger tied up at the end of a garden 60 miles from the sea.
-
Atlantic 444 Atlantic 444
For many people "North European" boating is a euphemism for cold and wet boating. So it's a pity that that's what aft-cabin powerboats such as the 444 are primarily associated with.
-
Apreamare Emerald 40 Apreamare Emerald 40
All the Apreamare boats are noisy, and it's easy to see why. Their enginerooms draw in air - and with no baffles, salt water too - through large grills in the superstructure.
-
Apreamare Emerald 30 Apreamare Emerald 30
We tested the Emerald 30 in a gentle swell and a Force 2 wind. In these moderate conditions, it displayed the same admirable handling characteristics as its bigger sister.
