Ship Happens… and when it does, Bob Perry is usually the one stirring it.
This issue’s Perry’s Picks takes on a matchup only Bob could make entertaining: the iconic Cal 40 vs. the sleek, rule-bending Ranger 37.

Two production boats.
Two totally different handicap rules.
Two designs that never dominated the racing world — yet somehow became unforgettable anyway.

Bob breaks down why the Cal 40 helped reshape what “light displacement” meant, why the Ranger 37 leaned hard into IOR-era quirks (yes, including the bustle), and how both boats carved out their own kind of legacy on and off the racecourse.

If you’re here for design geekery, salty history, or Bob explaining Victorian fashion terms in the context of yacht design… settle in.

MEET THE FLEET | MONOHULLS EDITION: Vol. 2 - Cruisers, Day Sailers & Coastal Comfort

Ready for another round of single-hulled stunners? Vol. 2 of our Monohulls Edition brings four very different boats with one shared goal: make you seriously question every responsible financial decision you’ve ever made.

This week’s lineup:

✨ Catalina 48
Catalina steps into the 48-foot class with a fresh partnership with Tripp Design — and wow, did they show up. Clean lines, generous living spaces, and that classic Catalina functionality wrapped in a new-generation look. - Catalina Yachts

✨ Auster Yachts Z28
A sleek, sporty day-sailer built for pure sailing joy. Minimalist interior, lifting keel option, and the kind of versatility that lets you explore skinny waters or stretch out into deeper cruising. Plus — that price/quality ratio? Wild. - Auster Yachts

✨ Sirius 35 DS
If you like a panoramic saloon view with your morning coffee, this German-built deck-saloon beauty is speaking your language. Twin keels for shallow cruising, craftsmanship for days, and the kind of comfort that makes you forget land exists. - Sirius Yachts

✨ Dufour 48
A 48-foot floating escape pod built for outdoor living. Twin cockpits, loads of lounging space, redesigned aft platform, and a layout that screams “Let’s stay out one more night.” It’s a cruiser with serious lifestyle energy. - Dufour Yachts

Whether you’re dreaming of day sails, big passages, or something in between, this fleet has a “future boat” for every flavor of sailor!

Some sailors take the leap. Others are the leap!

Today we’re throwing the T-A-C spotlight on Spencer — captain of New Horizons and the kind of endlessly-powered adventurer who makes the rest of us question whether we’ve been under-dosing our coffee.

Born in NYC but built for the big blue, Spencer ditched the mapped-out life for one written in logbooks and salt spray. Aboard his Tayana 55, he’s chased down more horizons than most of us have excuses: California, the Sea of Cortez, the long slide down Mexico and Central America, a Panama Canal rite-of-passage, Colombia’s upwind punch, the DR, and a whole lot of Lesser Antilles magic!

Three hurricane seasons in Grenada later, he’s still out there doing the thing — charting, fixing, refitting, sailing, repeating — while running worldwide charters and documenting the beautifully unfiltered side of cruising on his YouTube channel, Sailing New Horizons.

If you love sailors who live deliberately, dream loudly, and keep choosing the sea even on the days she throws elbows… Spencer’s your guy. Because New Horizons is out there chasing whatever’s waiting past that line where the sky kisses the sea — and you might as well ride along.

Go show Spencer that Lats & Atts love with a like & follow here Sailing New Horizons and over on IG and YouTube:

If you’re crossing the Med and dreaming of a stop that blends Baroque beauty, crystal-clear anchorages, and just enough shipping traffic to keep your AIS sweating — Malta delivers!

In our Nov–Dec NEW 2026 Boat Model Issue, author Ben Lowings takes you from Valletta’s UNESCO-lit streets to the vodka-clear coves of St Paul’s Bay and the Blue Lagoon. Think stunning views, sheltered marinas, party boats you may or may not want to anchor next to, and history so thick you’ll swear you hear Queen Elizabeth’s footsteps in the cobblestones.

If Malta isn’t already on your passage plan… it might be after this.

‘Tis the season for giving… and, let’s be real, cruisers are absolutely impossible to shop for!

So we’re rolling out the Salty Santa Series — our hand-picked, boat-tested, cruiser-approved gift roundup straight from the pages of our Nov–Dec issue. Four posts. Zero fluff. Maximum salty cheer!

These are the upgrades we’d happily find under the tree… or in the lazarette… or tied to the lifelines. We’re not picky.

Let’s kick things off with the tech, tools, and gear every boater secretly wants but won’t buy for themselves:

🔧 SENSAR MARINE MONITORING SYSTEM:
Because peace of mind shouldn’t hinge on whether you remembered to jiggle the bilge pump before heading to shore for tacos. Sensar Marine

🔌 SCANSTRUT ULTRA QI2 MAGNETIZED WIRELESS CHARGER:
The charger that finally doesn’t yeet your phone across the cabin in 4-foot chop. Scanstrut

🦺 MUSTANG SURVIVAL ELITE INFLATABLE PFD (Elite 190):
The Cadillac of PFDs for sailors who want safety… but also refuse to look like a walking pool float. Mustang Survival

🎈 AERE INFLATABLE FENDERS:
The fenders that proudly say, “We may not nail our docking, but the boat will absolutely survive it.” AERE Docking Solutions

MEET THE FLEET | MONOHULLS EDITION
VOL. 1 - Performance & Passage-Makers

When your heart says “sunset sail” but your boat says “let’s cross an ocean,” you’re probably aboard one of these!

Meet four monohulls built for sailors who crave balance — boats that deliver modern comfort without losing the soul of performance cruising. Sleek lines, smart deck layouts, shorthanded capability… this lineup proves you don’t have to choose between style and seaworthiness.

✨ Beneteau Oceanis 47 - Beneteau America
A fresh evolution of the world’s most iconic cruising line. Her modular cockpit transforms from lounging space to dining room, while her taut lines and refined hull shape deliver sporty, confident performance. Below deck, the saloon glows with natural light and customizable interior moods for a life afloat that feels distinctly your own.

✨ Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 415 - Jeanneau America
Marc Lombard lines meet Jeanneau innovation. With twin rudders for precise control, a wide beam for stability, and a walk-around deck that keeps life underway safe and simple, the 415 blends performance and family cruising like few can. Inside, she’s bright, spacious, and tailored for comfort on long passages.

✨ Contest 50CS - Contest Yachts
A bluewater cruiser with superyacht DNA. This Dutch-built beauty is all about strength, stability, and effortless motion through the sea. Deep topsides, beamy deck plans, and impeccable craftsmanship make her a favorite for sailors planning serious miles — without sacrificing the luxury touches.

✨ Pegasus 50 - Pegasus Yachts
Shorthanded sailing meets long-distance ambition. Lightweight, beautifully balanced, and brilliantly designed for one-level living (cockpit → saloon → galley), the Pegasus 50 brings catamaran convenience into a monohull package. Modern lines, carbon mast design, and comfort systems make her as relaxing as she is responsive.
