The Journey of the CCA
HOPPING to IT
The Lyman-Morse LM46 performance cruiser Hopgrasser is a stirring rendition of the Maine builder’s new semicustom line.
INTO THE WILD
There are obstacles to overcome as cruisers visiting the Galapagos Islands. It’s well worth the effort.
Off Watch
Along with American David White, 16 sailors from eight nations signed up for the inaugural edition of the BOC Challenge in 1982, and a wild cast of characters they were.
Rodney Atkins Country Music Star
He's written songs such as \"Farmer's Daughter,\" \"Watching You\" and \"Caught Up in the Country.\" When he's not putting out hits or touring, country music star Rodney Atkins likes to spend time on the water. Last summer, he partnered with Lowe Boats to play a live show from one of its pontoons. We caught up with Atkins to find out more. -Pete McDonald
HOW I HOOKED A BIG ONE
Sometimes luck wins out over skill.
YAMAHA FX Limited SVHO
The FX Limited SVHO, Yamaha's flagship WaveRunner, combines a deep-V hull with a supercharged, mega-displacement 1.8-liter Super Vortex High Output engine that pushes it beyond 65 mph. Now sheet moulding compound (SMC) returns to the hull rather than Yamaha's lighterweight, nano-engineered construction. This adds about 40 pounds but arguably improves the boat's feel, particularly in rough water.
That's not going to happen
Yes, our plan was remarkably ambitious, and yes, things went wrong along the way, but in the end, we made the trans-Atlantic journey work.
TACKLING THE HALO EFFECT
Shielding underwater hardware against corrosion requires a delicate balance of cathodic protection.

With the right safety precautions and a bit of practice, sailors can tackle small projects and repairs themselves.
SOUTH TO THE ISLANDS ABOARD BILLY PILGRIM
Georgia's Sea Islands and the Exuma Cays in the Bahamas highlight Billy Pilgrim's southbound season.
PASSION FOR ALL ΤΙΜΕ
For a sailor who loves SCHOONERS, few places compare to the coast of Maine in the summertime.
On Watch
Despite a lifetime of guarding against salt water getting into any of the engines that I've installed, my nemesis finally won a round.
Sailor & Galley
These spur-of-the-moment morsels were easy to put together and very tasty. They required some chilling before baking, but no worries, mon. We were on island time.
BAREBOATING With the KIDDOS
With some planning and creativity, family time on board can take vacation fun to a whole new level.
Off Watch
Before we shoved off, our core crew had a sobering conversation about what to do with our bodies if we didn't make it back to shore.
Boat Life
When cruising, remember that the choice to be present in nature or present online is all yours.
A FAMILY MATTER
WHEN 16-YEAR-OLD CAL CURRIER, WITH NO REAL SAILING EXPERIENCE, GOT THE NOTION TO SAIL ALONE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC, HE HAD THE SUPPORT NOT ONLY OF HIS TIGHTKNIT CLAN, BUT ALSO OF SOME HELPFUL MARINERS HE ENCOUNTERED ALONG THE WAY. THE FINAL OUTCOME? AN INSPIRING COMING-OF-AGE WALKABOUT AT SEA, AND LESSONS LEARNED THAT TRANSCEND YEARS AND MILES.
YAMAHA 222 FSH SPORT E
Jet to your favorite fishing spots on this family-friendly center-console packed with standard fishy features and amenities.
SOLACE 32 CS
For the techie boater, the Solace 32 CS has a long list of features that will surely appeal to the James Bond in them. Infused epoxy construction using Innegra high-modulus fabrics and carbon fiber makes a tough, light boat, letting its variabledeadrise, twin-stepped hull work through seas at every angle and offering a comfortable, safe ride.
ASPEN C120
Aspen Power Catamarans employ asymmetrical hulls similar to Polynesian proas.
SEA PRO 320 DLX OFFSHORE
Details such as finished hatch lids, the massive hinges of the side boarding door, and the way that door's folding swim ladder ($918) stores in a dedicated rack make the Sea Pro 320 DLX Offshore's quality stand out.
MOST ICONIC CITIES TO EXPERIENCE BY BOAT
Ditch the Ubers, bikes and electric scooters. A marine-centric metropolis should be seen from the water. It’s a tour of three of America’s bestknown waterfront cities—all from a boater’s point of view.
ANCHOR READINESS
An anchor at the ready and a crew trained to use it are important boating-safety protocols.
THROTTLE AND SHIFT CABLES
Cable throttle and shift controls still dominate the boating market for outboard, inboard and sterndrive engines. Cables from brands such as Dometic Marine (previously SeaStar) and Uflex provide smooth, reliable service for years, even decades, but they might eventually wear out, corrode or otherwise lose optimal functionality. Here's what to look for when deciding on replacement throttle and shift cables for your boat.-Jim Hendricks
