February issue of Motor Boat & Yachting out now!

Our latest issue hits newsstands today and features our most extreme boat test yet, as well as a sea trial of the new Princess V58 Open

Not all boat tests are created equal and in this month’s edition we report on our most extreme boat test to date.

Just before Christmas we packed Hugo off to Cork with the express intention of finding the biggest storm he could and driving straight into it.

In a normal boat, this would be a worrying strategy, but the Safehaven Barracuda SV11 is built for exactly this purpose.

Meanwhile, Jack Haines got a rather more pleasant assignment – testing the fast, fun and fabulous new Princess V58 Open.

We also preview 12 must-see boats that a gracing this month’s London Boat Show, including the Sunseeker 131, Princess 75 and Bénéteau Swift Trawler 30.
