Okay. Hurricanes are awful. They’re unpredictable, terrifying, and often result in incredible suffering. I should know. I was dispatched once to an offshore oil rig in a 110-foot utility boat to rescue 30 guys in the midst of a hurricane—a knee-knocking extravaganza if ever there was one. Then a few years later I was constrained to enter Cameron, Louisiana, one
It’s 3 a.m., and you wake with a start, suddenly in the throes of a real-life nightmare. A fire has erupted in the galley of your new 150-footer and you’ve got your entire family onboard for what should’ve been a relaxing respite in the Med.What happens next? Who fights the flames and who administers any necessary first aid? Well, if your crew has studied

Do’s & Don’ts of Pet BoatingI am amazed at your responses to Gregg Chandler’s and Noreen Brendan-Rowe’s letters in [the October issue’s] Mail Drop concerning boating with dogs. You are obviously very biased and lack consideration for the folks who enjoy “peace and quiet”. Now, I’m not a dog person or a cat person. My wife and I cruise extensively with
Monaco Yacht ShowNearly half of the yachts on display at the Monaco Yacht Show are making their official debuts.Monaco may be the second-smallest country in the world, but from September 24 to 27, it’s the center of the universe—at least where megayachts are concerned. Those are the dates
As an enthusiast publication, Power & Motoryacht is committed to one topic: powerboats 24 feet and larger.

If there’d been any chance of avoiding the whole extravaganza, I most certainly would have. I was dog-tired, having been underway since daylight, wheeling the Betty Jane down an increasingly lumpy Chesapeake Bay.

When Thomas Paine wrote, “These are the times that try men’s souls,” he was referring to the colony’s treatment at the hands of nasty King George III. But were he around today, Tom’s observation could also apply to boating. It’s hard to imagine a crueler month for us nautical types than March. So it’s perhaps understandable that at a time of year when so
In an industry where every nuance of a hull form is hyped as the greatest innovation since the pointed bow, it’s a rare pleasure to witness the introduction of a concept that truly is a departure from the norm. And it’s even more so when the design concept promises to deliver the naval architect’s Holy Grail: efficiency and seakindliness with minimum noise and vibration.

Power & Motoryacht’s editor-in-chief, Capt. Richard Thiel, is a pretty modest guy. For example, he didn’t want to make a big deal out of the fact that his 20th anniversary as our Big Cheese was this month. So, being the respectful employees we are, some of whom have worked with him for more than a decade,
