MBY May 2018 is out now!

In the May 2018 issue we test the Galeon 460 Fly, Azimut 60 and SEAir's foiling RIB. We also have the Custom Yachting supplement and John Boyle returns

There are some fascinating tests in the May 2018 issue of Motor Boat & Yachting.

The Galeon 460 Fly may look like a regular 46ft flybridge cruiser but it has a cunning party trick in the shape of a pair of hydraulic balconies that fold down either side of the cockpit. They transform the way this boat’s main deck works and give it something that rivals simply can’t compete with. You can watch our video review of the boat here.

Nearly as radical is the interior of the all-new Azimut 60, styled by Achille Salvagni its a feast of soft curves and pastel tones. See what you make of it Jack Haines’s report.

Maybe most revolutionary of all is the SEAir foiling RIB. French company SEAir has fitted carbon fibre foils to a 5.5m Zodiac and has plans to make foiling motorboats mainstream. We take the RIB for a spin to see if it works.
