What's it like to drive one of the coolest, rarest Rivas ever built? MBY editor Hugo tells you all about it in our eight-page special on the 1960 Riva Tritone Special Cadillac. Our big tests this month feature the new Princess 52, Outer Reef 700 and Cerri 102 FlyingSport. We give you 25 great reasons to cruise the Bristol Channel and follow Tony Fleming as he continues his epic Alaskan voyage. We take a look at a new hull vane technology said to slash fuel costs and look at the Sunseeker Manhattan 62 and Trader 585 as used-boat buys.
