Message From The Editor
Technically speaking, I didn’t even glaze over
What a nice surprise. When we talk boat tech lately, it has typically meant foiling or electric motors and batteries. This week’s issue made me realize there’s a LOT more than that going on.
Yes, Plugboats does an electric engine update, but Ask Andrew took me behind the panels for a look at NMEA 2000 backbone, which you might be a topic that would cure insomnia, but no, it is not only very interesting and, yes, understandable (thanks, Andrew.)
And take a good look at the Yamaha Drive X video. Whether or not this is your kind of boat, the capability of the system is mind blowing. The controls and paddles let you easily do things that only a super skilled boat handler could manage.

HI Andrew - It's apparent that you've never had a boat moored in the salt, because there, mussels and barnacles can also be a major issue in why one's trim tabs no longer seem to work. One of the reasons 'Canadian Yachting' is often considered to be 'Toronto as the centre of the universe' yachting.

More than one owner of a sailboat in the past few years has thought, when trying to fire up a diesel or gas motor, that maybe the time is right to convert to electric for the times when they are not sailing under wind power. Here is the story of a century old boat...

Our Photo of the Week this time comes from our CY Team at FLIBS. Perhaps it’s the camera angle or maybe it’s that our publisher, Jill Snider, is quite petite, but these are mighty big outboards. Jill and some of our team were at the Fort Lauderdale show last month...
