The Blue Jacket 40 is the result of a collaboration between Tim Jackett, designer for many years at Tartan Yachts, and Bob Johnson, chief designer at Island Packet Yachts. This new performance cruising boat, billed as the first in a series, is being built by Island Packet at its yard in Florida. It made its world debut at the Strictly Sail Chicago boat show, which ran from January 23 through 27, 2013.
The Vesper Marine WatchMate Vision is arguably the most advanced Class B AIS transponder ever built, and was honored with an Innovation Award in Miami.
