September 13, 2012Sanya 57The cockpit “terrace,” the topside “lounge deck,” the interior “living and dining rooms,” the solar panels integrated into the coachroof for aesthetics and practicality: All are standout features of this new cat from accomplished French builder Fountaine Pajot.

September 12, 2012Helia 44Spacious and bathed in natural light from the coachroof and cockpit skylights and the saloon’s large wraparound windows, Fountaine Pajot’s inventive 44-foot cat also includes such novel features as built-in solar panels, a three-person raised helm station, and davits that hold dinghies, surfboards, and kayaks.

September 7, 2012Cornish Shrimper 19Available in either the “Classic” two-berth version or the “Modern” four-berth model, this compact cruiser (which actually measures 22 feet 6 inches LOA) is full of surprises, including a pivoting bowsprit for solo mast stepping; numerous trailer options; and either an outboard gas engine or inboard Yanmar 1GM diesel auxiliary.

September 13, 2012Seaward 46RK“RK” stands for “retractable keel,” the signature feature in the Nick Hake-designed series of Seaward Yachts. With the verticallly retracting keel in full upright mode, the shallowest bays and coves will be yours to explore. When you’re under way, adjust the lifting keel to maximize performance on any point of sail. The Seaward 46 is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase.

September 12, 2012Hanse 575Stability and speed were two of the attributes specified by Hanse when they asked the Judel/Vrolijk design team to produce their new 57-footer, and they responded with a beamy, voluminous yacht with loads of storage and countless interesting features. Our favorite? The dinghy “garage” for a jet-powered tender. The Hanse 575 is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase.

September 7, 2012Catana 47Performance was the aim in building this new cat from the high-tech French builder, and with a radical “carbon infusion” construction process, that goal was realized. With an infused sandwich of foam, aramid fibers, carbon fiber, and other materials, Catana’s latest 47 is over 3,000 pounds lighter than before. The Catana 47 is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase.

September 13, 2012Shannon 38 HPS“High Power Sailer” is what the “HPS” stands for in this latest design from Shannon founder Walter Schulz. With a generous sail plan, the boat isn’t a true motorsailer, but with either twin 75-horsepower engines or a single 165-horsepower diesel, the boat cruises at 12 knots with a powering range beyond 500 miles. The Shannon 38 HPS is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase.
