Sabreline 36 Express Sabreline 36 Express
High on Sabreline's list of plus points is incredibly strong construction. Having examined the building drawings in some detail, we can vouch for the fact that not only are the laminates substantial, they are excellently 'engineered'.
-
Sea T46 Sealine T46
For those buying boats in the T46's size bracket, the classic dilemma is whether to go for an aft cabin, or aft cockpit and flybridge.
-
Sealine S34
In an age of stupendous marketing superlatives, categorising the boat as simply "eminently competent" might be seen as a case of damning with faint praise
-
Sealine Sealine 410
Although the 410 was launched in September 1993, it is still an exciting boat because it unusually fuses the aft cockpit and aft cabin.

Searay Sea Ray 580SSS
We thought the deck was excellent: it's rare to find this space designed with the movement of large numbers of people so much in mind.

Sea Ranger 44/8

Sabreline 36 Aft Cabin

Even in the US, where sportsfishing is enormously popular, boats like the 2610 Walkaround are commonly used as multi-purpose sportsboats.
-
Nord West 330
The 330 has a strong sense of identity: it's not going to be confused with other boats, even those related by their aft-cockpit, non-flybridge layout. So what can it offer?
-
Nelson Nelson 34
For a boat with working-class roots, the Nelson 34 attracts more than its share of admiring glances. But, as Starlet confirms, the tried and tested hull can play as well.
-
Moonraker 36
Throughout its production life, the Moonraker was in constant development. There were at least six different series and two different builders.

Fairline Squadron 62 Fairline Squadron 62
With the majority of these boats heading for the sunshine, the flybridge is often the busiest and most important area of the deck.

Fairline Targa 29 Fairline Targa 29
The handling of the smallest Targa was very impressive
-
Fairline Phantom 38 Fairline Phantom 38
Having a four-year-old Princess 360, a contemporary Princess and Sunseeker available for comparison was an enlightening experience
-
Fairey Huntsman 28
In the racy flower power years, the Huntsman 28 was clocking up fast Speeds and a sexy image of powerboating.

Cranchi Endurance 39 Cranchi Endurance 39
Worldwide building standards have improved significantly over the past few years, and the boats that MBY tests have fewer and fewer shortcomings.

Remember when people-carriers like the Renault Espace first came to the UK?
