A Need for Speed

Editor-in-chief Andrew Parkinson reflects on the remarkable modern age of passage making.

Refit Reality

There comes a time in every older trawler’s life when her owner is consumed by the desire to spit on his palms, hoist the black flag and consider a major refit.

Treasures, Past and Future

Will our own cruising rituals of today at all resemble our children’s nautical endeavors of tomorrow?

Anything Goes

Pondering the modern definition of passagemaking and what the future might hold.

A side three-quarter view of a large, rugged expedition trawler named "PAUL JOHANSEN" cruising through calm open water. The vessel features a dark blue hull creating a white wake at the bow, paired with a cream-colored superstructure and a high pilothouse. A tall central mast holds multiple radar domes and communication antennas, while the upper deck carries a white tender and a bright yellow kayak. An American flag flies from the stern under a grey, overcast sky.

Straight Life

Once a rescue craft, this Norway-built steel trawler is the ticket to ride for a venturesome crew.
