Randall G. Lucchesi

In the spring of 2009, the French shipyard rather boldly launched a new line for the high-end segment of the sailing yachts.

Now there is a new boat – Jeanneau Yachts 60 – which would close the gap lengths in this range. Little is known about the new Read more

Thursday 9th October is a day for VIP visitors. This means that you will spend much more money on a ticket than, for example, on Friday or Saturday, and also means that the exhibition on this day will not be crowded and the visitors will be mostly very serious people. It is on this day that companies hold presentations of their new models, presenting them to the media and the general public. This day is my favorite, and it is Read more

Randall G. Lucchesi

Sailing yacht Beneteau Oceanis 42 CC, designed by the world renowned design bureau Groupe Finot, is an excellent family cruiser with a very reasonable price. The hull and deck lines are in many ways similar to the new Beneteau Oceanis range of yachts, such as the Beneteau Oceanis 393 and Beneteau Oceanis 473. Sailors who prefer classic hull lines will appreciate the shape of the transom. Previously not used on yachts with a central cockpit, the shape of the deckhouse Read more

Under a well tuned mainsail and 140% genoa, the wheel is Read more

Randall G. Lucchesi

The latest model of the cruising yacht Beneteau is well suited for conquering the wide open spaces of the sea, and for sailing within the bay. Admiration is probably the feeling the owners of this yacht have.

Certainly, during the test, the owners took great pleasure in the perfection of Read more
