In Our Wake: Off to the Lake

Evinrude’s Sweet-16 sported three hulls and an inboard stern drive—what a concept for the Swingin’ Sixties!

A vintage-style illustration split into two contrasting scenes. On the left, a teenage boy looks down into a tiny, open 13-foot wooden motorboat filled with supplies. On the right, a massive steel-hulled naval warship cruises past under a dramatic sky.

A Boy and a Boat

In 1957, teenager Tom Ireland set out on a 1,500-mile journey from Long Island to Miami aboard a 13-foot Speedliner with a 25-hp outboard. What happened next even Mark Twain couldn’t make up.

A close-up, side-profile shot of a woman cleaning the white vinyl upholstery of a boat seat. She is wearing a teal t-shirt featuring a ship's wheel logo with the word "NAUTICAL" printed beneath it, as well as dangling silver hoop earrings. With a focused expression, she uses a yellow microfiber cloth in one hand and a small white cleaning pad or cotton ball in the other to wipe down the armrest of a white captain's chair. The background shows the bright, sunlit interior structures and windshield frames of the boat.

Secrets to a Clean Boat

Margarita Xistris has spent over 30 years making yachts sparkle. Here’s some of what she’s learned along the way.

A vintage, low-angle historical photograph of a military Patrol Boat River (PBR) cruising through choppy river water. The dark, camouflage-painted combat vessel features a rounded black hull with a red bottom, kicking up a white water spray from its hull. Soldiers wearing military helmets and gear are visible on board, with a crewman stationed at the helm beneath a black canvas canopy structure equipped with antennas and a radar unit. An American flag flies prominently from the stern, and a machine gun mount is positioned at the back of the vessel under an overcast sky.

Still in Service

A boat once used to train soldiers for combat in Vietnam is ready for her next—and arguably more important—mission.

He focuses intently while holding a compact white optical housing unit equipped with dual lenses and a central camera sensor. A bright, illuminated desktop ring magnifying lamp sits on an adjustable arm in the center. In the background, hand tools hang neatly on a wooden pegboard wall beneath a bright LED under-cabinet light bar, with wire spools coiled overhead.

The AI’s Have It

An extra pair of eyes is always handy, especially when they don’t blink.

A profile shot of a classic dark blue and white Downeast-style yacht floating on calm, glass-like blue water under a clear sky. The vessel features an enclosed pilothouse with tinted glass windows, traditional teak wood accents along the deck line, a radar mast on the hardtop roof, and an American flag flying at the stern. A distant sailboat is subtly visible anchored on the horizon to the right.

Finding “The One”

After years of separate boat ownership, matrimony brought this couple to the proverbial One.
