Florida builder Piero Rivolta commissioned Maine’s Stephens Waring Yacht Design to draw a high-performance boat with classic lines and such modern elements as a retractable keel, a carbon-fiber mast, twin rudders, electric winches, air-conditioning, and a 75-horsepower diesel engine. The Vintage 43 is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase.
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.
