Alerion Yachts has extended their reach from the ‘Express’ and ‘Sport’ line of daysailers to the new ‘Alerion’ series of cruising boats. The Alerion 41 captures all of the daysailer spirit of its predecessors while boasting a finely finished interior for those that want to broaden their ‘Alerion Sailing’ experience.
Nothing stimulates the senses and stirs the soul quite like the new M-Series M46 from Morris Yachts. Whether you are charging to windward like a thoroughbred, or stargazing from the large cockpit in a still anchorage, the M46 is more than just a boat.
It’s not often that we here at SAIL get to test-sail production sailboats from Japan. Personally, this is the first one I’ve ever sailed, in a test or otherwise. It is a remarkable little vessel.
With the introduction two years ago of its revamped Oceanis line, Beneteau brought a whole new aesthetic to production boatbuilding.
This debutante from the world’s largest cruising cat producer succeeds the popular Lagoon 500 and is an evolutionary leap ahead of its predecessor.
Like the Lagoon 52, the SIG60 is a VPLP-designed catamaran, but that’s where the similarity ends. Lightweight carbon-fiber construction and a powerful sailplan guarantee outstanding performance from this cruiser-racer.
If you want an honest, unpretentious yet upscale bluewater cruiser with a solid design and build pedigree, this Chuck Paine/Ed Joy creation could be the boat for you.

Simplicity, ruggedness and reliability were key criteria in specing the masthead rig and high-quality mechanical systems; a crew of two should easily be able to handle this 45,000lb-displacement yacht.
Although multihull innovation at the racing end of the spectrum gets the lion’s share of the press, no less of a revolution in design has been taking place among cruising multihulls: case in point, French multihull builder Fountaine Pajot’s new Hélia 44, a boat that in its own way is as cutting-edge as a carbon fiber racer.
The last year has been kind to cruising-cat aficionados; most established builders have introduced new models, and some yards are showing their wares in the United States for the first time.
After a few rare weeks stateside, 28 IMOCA 60s are setting off on the NY-Vendée. The transatlantic race to Les Sables-d’Olonne, France, is the final
