Hello Boater
Aquila 46 Yacht Power Catamaran
Stability Is King
SKIP THE ROCKING The 2026 Aquila 46 Yacht just dropped, and she’s a serious ocean runner with CE Category A certification. Her expansive beam is what makes life aboard effortless—check out the household-sized galley and the seamless indoor-outdoor connection. She carries Aquila’s heritage of purpose-built design, offering rock-solid stability and a ton of room for weekend adventures.
DAY TRIP READY This Formula 387 CCF, built on a race-influenced deep-V, delivers serious offshore performance and verified 60+ mph potential. Yet she’s equally designed for on-water enjoyment, featuring a full finished head and bow sun lounges alongside twin livewells. Instead of raw numbers, Capt Boomies and Capt Trip highlight her true purpose: effortless weekend escape and entertainment.
BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND Which requirement must be met in order for a stand-on vessel to take action to avoid collision?

New Sharrow Prop Test
Same Engines, More Speed
61% BETTER Imagine efficiency gains that could add up to 79 miles of range to your next tank just by swapping out a single component. This deep dive into the Sharrow design shows major efficiency boosts across the board, including a 61% gain at idle (which is huge for fishing guys). It also addresses the bow-rise issue for quicker planning. The overall difference in cruise speed and fuel consumption is kind of wild.
PLAN YOUR ISLAND HOP The Pacific Northwest’s archipelago has a surprisingly mellow vibe. The article goes deep on the three main islands—San Juan, Orcas, and flat-as-a-pancake Lopez—to prove that this cruise is about more than just whale sightings. She offers easy dockage, sheltered fishing grounds where seasickness is reportedly rare, and an entire island where everyone waves hello as we bike by.
TROLLING INSTALL HOW TO If you spend time fishing the bow, you know the frustration of reaching too far for controls. One boater finally said "enough" and tackled a DIY project to put essential gear right at the nose. But installing anything custom means high risks, especially with a complex hull. This video shows the painful geometry calculations and the ultimate high-stakes moment of drilling the fiberglass.

The rules of the road (specifically Rule 17: Action by Stand-on Vessel) state that the stand-on vessel shall maintain its course and speed, but it may take action to avoid collision as soon as it becomes apparent that the give-way vessel is not taking appropriate action. However, the foundational requirement for any action, by either vessel, is that a risk of collision (Rule 7) must first exist. Without a risk of collision, no avoiding action is required or permitted under the rules.
