In detail
Outboard News
New outboards for 2023 focus on power, technology and optimization. The mid-range is the one with the most novelties, both in the case of endothermics and electrics, but there is something interesting among the small ones as well. From page 62
Gianni Agnelli’s motorboats
How the Lawyer, as a passionate owner, influenced today’s powerboat world from the 10-meter open to the superyacht. From page 70
The Nordic School
In an increasingly “experience-centric” world, the boat takes on the function of a multipurpose vehicle for bathing, sleeping out, water sports, going fast, and dealing with even difficult sea conditions. The Nordic school enhances its background of challenging seas and adverse weather through “military,” boxy, gritty lines that on the deck plan also meet the needs of those who want to spend sweet, more Mediterranean summers. The result is boats that are liked in every known sea so much so that Scandinavian Design is now used by shipyards all over the world. In this dossier we have made an overview of the most interesting specimens. From page 80
