Hello Boater
Yamaha JetBlaster PRO 3-Up:
Most Powerful in Class
BROKE THE STREAK The new Yamaha WaveRunner JetBlaster PRO is a big deal. She didn't just win an award at the Miami International Boat Show; she beat out the competition to break a winning streak that's been going for ten years! With her lightweight design and agile handling, it's easy to see why. Just watch Captain Trip's face—that's a look of pure, unadulterated fun.
AXE BOW EFFICIENCY The Sirena 48 offers a creative use of volume with a full-beam owner's suite and expansive deck spaces. Designed by naval architect German Frers, her semi-displacement hull with a unique axe bow provides efficiency, while her carbon fiber superstructure ensures stability. She is a true long-range cruiser with a surprise for her class.
THE VIRTUAL ANCHOR Tired of fumbling with your anchor? BlueNav's latest innovation is a game-changing "virtual anchor" that uses a retractable electric motor to keep a vessel perfectly in place, even in wind and current. This technology allows for seamless, silent navigation and an unmatched ability to hold position, protecting marine life while simplifying your day on the water.
BRITAIN'S WATER SQUATTERS Living on a narrowboat sounds like an idyllic, carefree existence. But for thousands in Britain, it's a way of life under threat. As waterways become more crowded, a unique community of "continuous cruisers" is fighting to protect their way of life from new regulations and a rising tide of conflict.
TAKE THE HELM Tired of being a passenger? The Skipper Large Powerboat Course is a comprehensive online program that gives you the knowledge to command a vessel up to 27 feet and larger. From docking and close-quarters maneuvering to navigation and handling emergencies, this course prepares you to operate on the water with confidence.
VINTAGE FOR LIFE This isn't a story about a boat; it's a love story about an 85-year-old's lifelong passion for vintage vessels and classic cars. From a $90 wooden runabout to a fleet of rehabbed beauties, this boater explains why older designs, like his 64-year-old sportfisher, get more attention than anything new.

Rule 2 of the navigation rules, or the "Rules of the Road," outlines that a "special circumstance" is any situation that requires a departure from standard procedures to avoid a collision. While all the options could be a factor in an emergency, "More than two vessels crossing" is the only one that is explicitly defined as a special circumstance, as it creates a complex situation that requires extra caution.
