018 Riviera 64 Sports Motor Yacht
The new 64 SMY takes the best from Riviera’s largest luxury cruising yacht models and incorporates them in a more compact design.
BY JOHN EICHELSHEIM
042 X-Yachts Xp38
Good things come to those who wait, and patience has paid off for Auckland yachtsman Frans de Court, in the form of his new X-Yachts Xp38. She’s a true performance-cruiser, with a raft of go-fast enhancements to boost her competitiveness.

BY KEVIN GREEN

A brief look at the short end of ocean cruising. They may have pram bows and a wide beam, but the SCAMP is a versatile little vessel.
BY LINDSAY WRIGHT
114 Expedition by Strannik
With his company Heritage Expeditions, Rodney Russ has been to places about as far from civilisation as you can go. He recently commissioned a new 24m sail-assisted expedition vessel.
