J 42 Finesse, Bermuda bound
I hear it’s a little foggy in Newport today, but I doubt it’s dampening the excitement about tomorrow’s 100th Bermuda Race. A couple of weeks ago I visited Alex Merrill aboard his dad’s J42 Finesse,...

Athena, and “ProBoat” good news
This is the first wheelhouse photo I’ve seen of Jim Clark’s Athena, and it sure looks like the thoroughly PC followup on Hyperion we expected. I wish I had more detail on the electronics, but...
Super Cheater, do they make ’em like they used to?
Would you be surprised to learn that Audacity’s electronics are minimal? Actually just a venerable Garmin 48 at the chart table and this fabulous Aqua Meter Super Cheater Tournament depth flasher in the aft companionway (bigger here)....
Sea Tow Boston power cat, equipped to search, sort of
This is the electronics box, bigger here, on Rescue 3, a 26’ Twin-Vee and the newest member of Sea Tow Boston’s fleet. This is the boat I got to ride around Boston Harbor on last...
Zeus 1, the most innovative electronics at Miami was a propulsion system!?!
Above is a 42’ Maxum that Brunswick, specifically the Cummins MerCruiser division, was using as a special demo boat at the Miami Boat Show. Obviously (bigger here ) it’s loaded with Northstar’s new 8000i multifunction...
Asylum, a funkilicious sanpan houseboat
Sharing my err…eclectic boat tastes is becoming an irregular Panbo weekend tradition. This one-of-a-kind wooden boat, bigger here, lives in Thomaston, Maine, and I understand the builder/owner is a crackerjack shipwright at Lyman Morse, one of whose shops...
Gunboat 62, wicked fast too
How about a 62’ sailing cat with an interior like a sleek apartment and the performance of a carbon racer? Sailing Anarchy has the story here, including a larger version of the picture above,...
Another trawler, PC centric for sure
This is the pilot house of a Nordic Tug 37 belonging to a Panbo reader in the state of Washington. It’s his very first boat! But he did spent an unusual amount of time learning navigation...
Boat dreams, sometimes don’t work out
“In the foreground is a Furuno 1731MKIII radar, then behind it is a Garmin GPS162 usually left in a large map view, then there is the primary Simrad CP32 GPS which is left in...
Cold weather sailing, with Furuno
This is the gorgeous new schooner Maggie B. out on sea trails off Nova Scotia last weekend. I believe that big mallet is for busting ice off the rigging! Now, notice to the left...
