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.

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
