New Boat Showcase

2018 October 1

It’s boat show season, and this year there is a range of new boats hitting the shows from Newport to Miami. From a fun inflatable dinghy and a foiling racer to comfy cruisers, our editors share some of the exciting new designs.

Hanse 508

Sailing the latest bluewater cruiser from the German-based Hanse Yachts can all be accomplished from the helm, thanks to its self-tacking jib, and all lines led aft to the twin winches at the twin helms, including sheets and reefing lines. The 508, designed by Judel/Vrolijk, has a powerful sailplan, and the optional second forestay allows you to fly larger headsails for more light air speed. And belowdecks, the cruiser features lots of storage for longer passages, and a large owner’s cabin with a king-size island berth.
