In Build Two R76s For Repeat Customers
Two new R76s from manufacturer Roscioli Donzi are currently under construction for two repeat customers of the yard. They are two different stories but represent the love of the craft this manufacturer makes. In one instance one owner is not stepping up or down because he presently owns an R80 and doesn't appear to want to get rid of it so the next best option is to build another boat of similar size. The other owner is stepping up and since he is an avid fisherman his new R76 is not only going to be larger but more dedicated to fishing for his passion...

H55 By Hunton Yachts
This Hampshire, UK-based manufacturer likes to look at themselves as a staple of the small English boating scene and having been around since 1979 (as Hunton Powerboats) they at least deserve some recognition. However, with their newest model they are looking to stir attention outside of England. They are known for models like the H43, H37, RIB boats like the H1005 and H830. Their heritage is deeply rooted in the company's offshore powerboat racing past and though the years they have restructured a few times...
