Welcome...
Necessity is the mother of invention, so they say, and I have to admit that being stuck at home with no option to test or photograph boats has forced us to be even more creative than usual with our content this month. We did manage to find one pre-lockdown sea trial of a SIRENA 88 – we all need something to dream about – but every other article was researched, written, edited and designed from our respective homes. At the risk of appearing boastful, I think it has resulted in one of the best issues ever. There really is something for everyone, from real-life cruising adventures on a 25ft pocket cruiser to an electric FOILING SPORTSBOAT via SUNSEEKER’S greatest ever boats and a new type of ZERO-CARBON DIESEL. We’ve even managed to piece together a fascinating head-to-head between a motor cat and a monohull. And let’s not forget the practical advice about MARINE INSURANCE and how to berth a SINGLE-ENGINE BOAT. Obviously, you will be the ultimate judge of whether we’ve succeeded but if you do enjoy the issue please consider taking out a subscription at www.magazinesdirect.com/54ab.
It’s cheaper and a lot easier than going to the shops!
MBY THANKS YOU!
A massive shout out to all of you who sent in suggestions for stories of your own memorable cruises, projects and boat purchases in response to last month’s request (MBY Needs You!) We’ve already got some fantastic new features pencilled in for the months ahead but please don’t let that stop more of you sending in your ideas to mby@ti-media.com. And if you haven’t already got one in the bag, make sure you take your camera and notebook with you on your first post-lockdown cruise this summer so you can share it with us later.
