We had a 2009 32S5 and it was terrific. Went to a 46 foot sloop and then to the dark side. The Beneteau did everything it promised with great...
Several friends who had Sabre 48's with Zeus had a real problem with finger pointing. I think Sabre is delivering many more IPS boats than Zeus...
One key to the IPS system is proper design and setup. Response time to changes with the joystick is adjustable. I have found with the new...
To answer the question asked above, we have averaged about 150 hours a year over the 11 years. I also did not point out the significant increase...
We now have 11 years of experience with Volvo IPS drives on two Sabre boats. They have been virtually problem free for that entire time. While...
It is reality TV! Did you expect it to reflect real life? We find it good for a laugh particularly in these times. Too bad it gives such a bad...
Let me add my thanks for the opening of this forum. I find the information extremely useful and thank you all very much for keeping to the topic...

Having lived aboard for six months at a time, there are lots of things you need to consider. We lived on a 46 foot sailboat in a couple of really...
Also depends on where you cruise. In SE Florida, we are kind of sensitive to height when we cruise on the ICW. But then again, we are also real...
As a statistician, I would suggest that the variance is so great that the average or median is not meaningful. Just stop by our yacht club...
If you attach dock water, you should seriously consider a automatic shutoff on the hose which will only allow a certain amount of water before it...
If the designer is any good at all, and if the boat is designed for pods, there is a considerable increase in usable space. Not only are the...
This new system from Volvo is going to take a lot of work and investment if anyone wants to use it once it is released. The fact that you need...
