Black and Tan 400 SS
TOUR ENDS IN PURCHASE — They’ve owned boats their entire lives, but never a new one. After a factory tour where they met the builders and saw a black and tan Formula 400 SS just back from Miami, the decision was immediate. Read their exciting story of impulse, performance, and the dedication of the team at Formula and Sun Sport Marine that turned a factory visit into a high-speed purchase.
TWIN GYRO STABILITY Bluegame, a yard linked to Sanlorenzo, just launched their first multihull, the BGM75. She uses a narrow catamaran design with IPS to operate like a 60-footer on fuel, but offers the space of a 90-foot vessel inside. Naval architect Philippe Briand made room for a full-beam master right between the hulls, solving a tough catamaran layout issue. That’s smart space and smooth long-range running.
CRUISERS DAYBOAT She reflects the NX design philosophy: performance and smart layout above all else. Built by the established Brazilian yard, she features a robust laminated monohull structure for sure-footedness offshore. The NX 370 HT Sport shines in her thoughtful use of space, pairing a well-appointed cabin capable of sleeping four with a breezy, entertaining cockpit, centered around the stern amenities.

446 FEET OF SAIL We’re keeping an eye on the Neoliner Origin, a 446-foot vessel with two towering, foldable carbon fiber masts. She’s the world's largest sailing cargo ship, designed to slash emissions by 80%. On her maiden voyage to Baltimore, she proved the concept works, even if she had to finish the transatlantic trip in "hybrid mode" after some early sail damage. This is how shipping actually gets green
100 MPH AT LAKE X Mercury Racing is known for building high-output four-strokes that perform far above their rating. To prove her muscle, they enlisted extreme athlete Travis Pastrana to run the new 300R and 300 ROS outboards at the legendary Lake X facility. Pastrana’s mission: push the new 4.6L V8 platforms well past the 100 mph mark. This is a rare, laid-back look at how professional race teams—and the rest of us performance enthusiasts—get more speed and durability.
RAMPS ARE HARD Ever feel better about your own skills after watching a fail video? Join the Boneheaded Boaters of the Week as they push the limits of maritime common sense. We’re talking about captains who mistake the ramp for a submarine launch and others who redefine the phrase "put her on the trailer backward." Just when you think the madness is over, one poor vessel makes an exit for the ages. It's the kind of mayhem we can't look away from.
