Aquila 46 PC Yacht
CAT PERFORMANCE METRICS We put her to the test, and she didn't disappoint. These are power-designed hulls, so she tracks great, even in chop. We recorded efficient cruising speeds right around the 18-knot mark, with solid numbers from the twin diesels. Getting a cat to hit the sweet spot between speed and fuel burn takes specific engineering, and Aquila definitely found it.
GRID CHASSIS TRITOON She is a 26-foot tritoon built on the performance-tuned GRID Chassis, designed to dampen noise and vibration. With up to twin Mercury Racing 500Rs, she can handle 1,000 hp. Forward and rear cameras, plus an available Joystick Piloting System, simplify close-quarters maneuvering. Her lounge layout with adjustable seating creates a seamless social hub, perfect for sun-drenched days.
NO HULL SLAP High-performance speed meets party boat utility! This Formula nails the balance: she's wicked fast (almost 60 MPH!), but she's also roomy enough to host all afternoon and tuck four people in for the night. You'll love running her—she feels solid and won't pound in the chop. The biggest quirk is the stationary V12s when docking; it feels strange at first, but the precision control is totally addictive. Go fast, stay long, and feel completely in command.

‘Tis the Season to Upgrade to ElectroStrainer®
This season, give yourself — and your boat — the gift of more time on the water. ElectroSea’s ElectroStrainer® takes the hassle out of marine-growth management by dramatically reducing strainer cleanings and eliminating acid descaling. Say goodbye to traditional sea strainers and the constant maintenance they demand. Upgrade to ElectroStrainer and keep your lines free of marine growth, your strainer basket clean longer, and your cruising smoother than ever.
BUILDING THROUGH CONFLICT We talk a lot about market trends, but this is a story about sheer resilience. One Ukrainian shipbuilder isn't just navigating global issues; they are actively expanding, successfully launching new models, and seeing increased sales across Europe. It’s a remarkable read on how quality construction and smart business decisions can truly overcome serious geopolitical challenges.
4,000 BOTTLES AT SEA Forget the fridge—these vessels are designed around their wine collections. We look at the architectural statements made by glass-clad cellars and walk-in tasting rooms. From a crystal wine wall on an explorer vessel to a sophisticated collection hidden under the main staircase, this article shows how designers turn temperature-controlled storage into floating artwork.

D.A red light over a white light, sidelights, and a stern light
The International and Inland Rules of the Road (COLREGs) require a vessel that is fishing (other than trawling) to display the all-round fishing lights (red over white) to indicate her status. Since the vessel is also "underway but not making way" (meaning she is not anchored and could move), she is still considered a power-driven vessel and must also display her sidelights and sternlight to indicate her length and direction for passing traffic.
