A NEW ADVENTURE VESSEL If your idea of cruising is less "dockside viewing" and more "actually going somewhere," check this out. The Italians at MARCOPOLO have designed something cool: seaworthy stepped hulls, only outboards, and smart use of every inch. She is going to feel spacious inside, thanks to a clever deck layout. She's the kind of boat that whispers, "Throw a bag on board, the destination is up to you."
DOCKED LENGTH SHRINKS This Maritimo delivers on her blue-water heritage. She features the brand's signature enclosed flybridge, accessible via an internal staircase, offering a second climate-controlled saloon perfect for long passages. The smart articulating swim platform raises to shorten her docked length by 750 mm, an owner-friendly innovation that proves thoughtful design informs function.
ONE-OFF 1960's STYLE Sanlorenzo's SHE project is a one-off nod to classic '60s Italian design, but she looks forward with Volvo Penta IPS hybrid power. This allows for silent, zero-emission electric cruising up to 9 kts, ideal for anchorages. Below, her full-beam owner's suite is a private sanctuary, and the innovative stern unfolds into an expansive sea-level beach club terrace.

75% MARKET SHARE One of the industry's biggest online listing owners is facing a US federal antitrust lawsuit. The plaintiffs allege that by controlling roughly 75% of the global market, Boats Group (owner of YachtWorld, etc.) uses restrictive contracts and serial acquisitions to stifle competition, leading to higher costs for brokers and reduced choice for consumers. This affects everyone buying or selling a boat.

D. three shapes; the highest and lowest shall be black balls and the middle shall be a black diamond
The rule defining the day signal for a vessel restricted in its ability to maneuver is found in Rule 27(b) of the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS).
However, the specific day signal for a vessel "engaged in underwater operations, when restricted in her ability to maneuver, which is making fast to or picking up a submarine cable or pipe" is defined in Rule 27(d).
Rule 27(d) states that such a vessel must exhibit three shapes in a vertical line:
Highest and lowest: A black ball. (This part of option A is incorrect)
Middle: A black diamond. (This part of option A is correct for a vessel restricted in ability to maneuver).
