Boat Review: North Pacific 590 Skylounge

2 weeks ago | passagemaker.com | Jeff Moser

Tendrils of fog swirled above Lopez Sound like serpent tails, pushed hither and yon by the wind that, at 8 a.m., was already gusting to 20 knots. I sat transfixed by the stark contrast of colors on display in the Rosario Strait—the expanse of evergreens on the surrounding islands ran right to the steep, rocky shores that disappeared into midnight blue waters dotted with whitecaps.

Cruising By All Means

Mar 7, 2025 | passagemaker.com | Jeff Moser

A few years back, four college friends made a plan for an epic adventure following graduation. And they actually went through with it. Borrowing a family boat, a North Pacific 28, the four women—Erin Beaudoin, Emery Hansell, Uhane Johnson and Annie Means—spent over two months on a cruise up the Inside Passage of British Columbia, inspired by the century-old adventures of trailblazer Muriel Blanchet.
Riviera 6800 Sport Yacht Platinum Edition | Yacht Review

Mar 4, 2025 | powerandmotoryacht.com | Jeff Moser

Riviera Yachts won praise with its Sport Yacht series. The boats are epic poems to the Ozzie boating life, offering the ideal combination of indoor-outdoor living atop lithe, stout hulls built to take on the notoriously heavy seas off Australia. The model line, which ranges in size from 46 to 60 feet, was further enhanced several years back with the Platinum Series.

Marlow 90V Yacht Review

Dec 11, 2024 | passagemaker.com | Jeff Moser

Green is GoodFrom the dock, the Marlow 90V was simply too much boat to take in. But I had an idea. Five minutes later, from 100 yards away, I stood atop the tuna tower of a spiffy sportfisherman. From there, I could admire the 90V’s profile. It is fitting that her custom Awlgrip finish is named Donegal green, as the planked hull’s deep hue reminded me of the verdant Irish countryside. The color strikes a handsome contrast to the off-white superstructure and long rows of tinted glazing.
Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 Boat Review

Dec 10, 2024 | passagemaker.com | Jeff Moser

Numbers don’t lie. Beneteau’s Swift Trawler line, which started in 2003, has been a bell ringer for the French builder. More than 1,800 Swift Trawlers have been built in a model range that has run from 30 to 52 feet, with flybridge models taking the lion’s share of sales compared to sedans. The latest Swift Trawler to splash, the 54, is the largest-ever to wear the Swift Trawler badge.
Does Your Code Pass The Turkey Test?

Dec 6, 2024 | moserware.com | Jeff Moser

Over the past 6 years or so, I’ve failed each item on “The Turkey Test.” It’s very simple: will your code work properly on a person’s machine in or around the country of Turkey? Take this simple test. Parsing dates from a configuration file using DateTime.Parse(string): Does it pass “The Turkey Test?” Nope: Reason: Turkish people write July 4th, 2008 as “04.07.2008” Fix: Always specify what format your date is in.
Traditions in Steel

Nov 25, 2024 | tradeonlytoday.com | Jeff Moserjeff-moser |Jeff Moser

Just off the Maas River in the Netherlands is the tiny municipality of Maasbracht, sandwiched within a thin strip of Dutch land between Belgium and Germany. The manufacturing facility of Linssen Yachts and its internal harbor share space here with a large showroom, trying to tempt the owners of all the steel-hulled recreational craft and converted workboats in this region where fiberglass is as uncommon as hen’s teeth.
