Boat gangways: guide to proper maintenance and cleaning
With the arrival of the beautiful season, it's time to get back on board our yachts to enjoy the breeze in open waters. But along with these pleasures of life, we also need to take care of the maintenance and cleaning of the boat. Among the various tasks for boat owners with large boats and their crews, there's the maintenance and cleaning of the boat gangways: this is one of the most important parts to
Exclusive: Magazzù M16, the first photos underway

Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350: sea trial of a small great sailboat
Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350: an astonishing sea trialThere are sailboats that are born really well and that, despite their size, manage to offer a great number of features that make them ideal for sailing and for long cruising. This is certainly the case with the brand-new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350, which, worthy successor to the legendary 349, has very little to envy compared to significantly larger boats.The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350 in detailThe new Jeanneau
Destriero will be dismantled: the sad end of the symbol of excellence in the Italian boating industry.
The yacht Destriero, symbol of excellence in the Italian boating industry, will be demolished, as confirmed by sources close to the shipyard. This news is truly unbelievable considering that the ceremony celebrating its thirtieth anniversary took place just two years ago. An important ceremony held in La Spezia, right where Destriero was originally built, at the Muggiano shipyard."It was a touching ceremony - recalls Ivan Drogo Inglese, President of the Stati Generali del Patrimonio Italiano
KARNIC SMART ONE 48: SEA TRIAL
We already talked about the entrance of the Cypriot brand Karnic in the Italian market some weeks ago and we also told you the complete sea trial of Karnic 22 SR. Now, it's the turn of the smallest model of the range: Smartone 48, an extremely functional and high-performing boat, less than 5 metres long. An ideal means to fish, work or have a daily trip. Anyway, the price is really tempting: from € 9,000
BALI 4.5: COMPLETE SEA TRIAL
Some time ago, we tested the first Bali 4.0 arrived in Italy; now, it's the turn of new Bali 4.5. Bali boats are produced by Catana, a leading brand in the world of catamarans, even though, in this case, the focus is on a larger target involving customers usually interested into motor boats. A successful idea if you consider that Bali number 100 has just been delivered only 25 months later the first launch. Bali 4.5, just
LTN 34 DIAMOND: A THREE-DAY-SEA TRIAL
It's a hot fall day and I've just arrived at the port of Marsala, Sicily. I join Ezio Agazzi, owner, together with Giulio Sottocornola, of LTN Ribs: the company, in the field of techno-boating since 1995, started to build ribs in 2014. The first aluminium rib was 26 Venom in 2015. I'm in Sicily to test LTN 34 Diamond, a 10-metre aluminium rib pushed by two Suzuki 300 HP outboards. I load my equipment aboard,
KARNIC 22: COMPLETE SEA TRIAL
22 SR is one of the five different declinations Karnic proposes for its 6.48-metre boat. The base is a beautiful original and rather narrow bottom, with a high step which extends towards the bow for a greater static and dynamic stability. It's a day cruiser with a small fore cabin; a family boat, a perfect holiday machine. And rather affordable, too. Karnic was born in Cyprus in 1993 and now it produces almost 300 boats
EVO 43: COMPLETE SEA TRIAL
If there's one boat which has animated the world of boating over the last two seasons, it's Evo 43. Everyone talks about her, everyone wants to see, touch and test her. Why? First of all, because she's astonishing. Then, because she's innovative and attractive. In a word, a "sexy" boat. We have followed her story since her birth, the first model touched the water on 1 September 2015 and it immediately provoked a great interest among international boating
Sailing, motorboating and sea trials
Sailing, motorboating and sea trials The essence of the last issue of The International Yachting Media Digest Boating - the passion that unites us all - implies various possible opportunities. Sailing and motorboating are nothing more than a reflection of our taste or of the amount of time we have available. That's why I am not surprised when, interviewing modern boaters, I discover that the contamination between the two faces of boating is increasingly more

7 months in the water: Crystal Prop, the antifouling paint for propellers
Our test of Crystal Prop, the self-cleaning antifouling paint by Coverplast, continues with a propeller left soaking for more than 7 monthsOur Crystal Prop test started before summer with the application of the Coverplast antifouling paint on the propeller of our Daydreamer. The first phase of the test showed that the paint resists cavitation, remains on the propeller surface and the power of motion, even on a sailboat, is sufficient to detach the vegetation without

Zero-stress mooring, tips for successful manoeuvring
Mooring plagues captains and skippers of all kinds. Let's see how to perform the right manoeuvres, anticipate the unexpected and, above all, stay calm. Mooring manoeuvres are a crucial moment in which the crew's 'toughness' and the character of the person in charge are truly revealed. Swearing and cursing, primitive shouting at each other, all this when the boat may be pulling into port. Not to mention that tense moments on board are experienced in
Guidi, the excellence of “Made in Italy” marine equipment supply, celebrates its 50 years of activity

Flexiteek 2G, we’ve tested and (mis) treated it for you
We've mistreated Flexiteek 2G , here is what happened Natural or synthetic teak? This question has become a part of everyday life in the minds of boat owners. If, initially, with the sale of the first synthetic materials designed for boat decks, the answer leaned towards natural wood, now, with the marketing of new technologies and cutting-edge products, the trend has completely changed direction. On the one side, the ecological aspect ( deforestation has reached
On Test. Evinrude E Tec G2 150 H.O. : great power and low consumption for the lowest emissions of the market
One of the most common mistakes is to classify the new Evinrude E Tec G2 150 H.O. as conventional two-stroke engines. Fitted with the advanced E-Tec technology, they use a computerized management module to control direct fuel injection thanks to which the fuel/oil mix is delivered into the cylinder with absolute precision.
