SAY it with intent! SAY it in carbon… by John Curnow, Global Editor, Powerboat.World 8 May 12:00 PDT You know, you might also have to SAY it in epoxy. Get all that, and you are certainly someone who needs to know about SAY Carbon Yachts. Should you be a yachtie, the 7.5 metric tonne mass (lightship for the petrol version) of their very new SAY 52 will have you thinking GenIII/IV TP52, and that squares off the intent statement, well and truly.

For the love of small, fast boats - the Cape 26 by John Curnow, Sail-World.com AUS Editor 6 Apr 15:00 PDT The proverbial chicken, an egg, and boats.

Going to publish the 'F' word – Again! by John Curnow, Sail-World.com AUS Editor 23 Mar 14:00 PDT Now we published the first 'F' word back in June last year. It did really well, thank you. Very much appreciated. Clearly, there are lots of young sailors out there looking to add a load of fun to their sailing, and are keen to get into the foiling world. Fantastic. There are your three 'F' words, and we are only in the first paragraph.
