The latest issue of MBY is out now!

In the May 2017 issue of MBY we have reviews of the Greenline 36 Hybrid and Sea Ray L550 plus Custom Yachting returns with a test of the Glider SS18

In the May 2017 issue of MBY our Custom Yachting supplement returns with an exclusive test of the Glider SS18. Editor Hugo Andreae is the first journalist to (literally) climb aboard this 1,200hp, 50-knot, £1m wave-piercing catamaran. It is a must read.

Elsewhere in this section we round up some of the coolest new yacht launches on the horizon and Alan Harper tests two Italian heavyweights in the Ferretti 850 and Sanlorenzo SL78.

At the other end of the scale Jack Haines has been on board the new Greenline 36 Hybrid to see if the diesel/electric propulsion system is anything more than a marketing gimmick and Nick Burnham flew out to Florida to test a Sea Ray that has the Europeans in its sights, the L550.

In the New Tech section we take a look at the physics behind the increasingly popular Fast Displacement Hull Form and there is a step-by-step guide of things to look out for when it comes to relaunching your boat after a winter in storage.

Finally, in the cruising section we have a cruise report from Peter Cumberlidge on Sweden’s blue ribbon, the lesser-known inland route through the south of the country. We have a story from long term MBY contributor Ray Bulman as we look back at his 50 years in the magazine plus we have the final instalment from Howard Walker’s Med on a budget series and our Prestige 680 owners round off their Italian adventure with a trip to the Aeolian islands.
