Hello Boater
Schaefer V33 SF
Dual-Purpose Design
FAMILY DAY BOAT OR FISHING MACHINE Born from a yard known for nearly full in-house production—right down to milling their own teak—the V33 Sport Fish is where angling meets entertaining. She is equipped for the 45-knot offshore sprint, yet hides a stand-up head and convertible berth below for overnighting. Her wide-open deck plan, complete with dual livewells and an accessible on-deck galley makes it easy to switch between the fish bite and the family bite.
JUST RELEASED Hailing from a quiet New Zealand yard known for repeat customers, the Superior 1200 is built on a philosophy of adaptation. While she's production GRP, the ability to tune features—like a clever helm bench bar or a raised saloon roof—sets her apart. Powered by a single 440hp Yanmar diesel, she cruises easily at 21.8mph with a 230 nm range. She presents as a comfortable, easily handled coastal launch.

FULL BEAM MASTER This vessel features a three-stateroom, three-head layout, including a full-beam king master suite amidships and a forward queen VIP stateroom.

Key systems include a SeaKeeper 18 Gyro stabilizer, a DockMate remote system, Garmin electronics with FLIR, and an electric sunroof over the salon.
GRAB YOUR CAMERA The most powerful solar flare of the year delivered as promised: a Severe (G4) geomagnetic storm that lit up the skies last night for millions far south. If you missed the peak, NOAA forecasts indicate that auroral activity will persist tonight (Thursday, Nov 13th). The celestial display will likely be more subtle than the vivid colors seen last night, but the solar storm's tail end means the curtains could still dance. Find a dark spot and check the northern sky after midnight. Remember, even a small, milky glow on the dark water's edge means you're watching a massive coronal mass ejection colliding with Earth's atmosphere. Send us your PHOTOS!
10GS AT THE HELM The days of toughing out a rough sea are ending. We dive into the latest seating revolution, where marine furniture is merging extreme shock mitigation—some systems rated to absorb 10Gs of force—with the kind of climate control you expect in a high-end car. Discover the low-profile electric slides and corrosion-resistant 316 stainless bases that are making the cockpit safer and far more comfortable.
DEDUCT MORE Did federal tax law just make buying a boat much more interesting? A recent bill restored a significant financial advantage for certain owners, potentially allowing them to deduct the entire purchase price of an eligible vessel in the first year. We break down the deduction rules, the "recapture" risk, and the specific business obligations required to make this surprising strategy work when operating the vessel in a charter program.
D. A vessel overtaking another in a narrow channel
Rule 34(c) of the International Regulations (COLREGS) requires a vessel intending to overtake in a narrow channel or fairway to sound a specific signal of intent (e.g., two prolonged, one short) before commencing the maneuver. This is one of the few situations in International Waters where a signal is truly a request of intent, rather than a signal that an action has already been taken.
