        Any #yacht featured in the superb pre-Second World War series of ‘Uffa Fox books’ is without question a special one, and DRIAC may be best known these days from her inclusion in Fox’s ‘Sailing, Seamanship and Yacht Construction’ (1934). From a time when the design of the ideal offshore #sailing #cruiser was still evolving and much discussed, Uffa waxed lyrical about this characterful Charles E. Nicholson design which had comfortably reeled off well over 5000 miles in her first two seasons, including Portsmouth to Malta and back, under the command of her redoubtable first owner, A.G.H. Macpherson. DRIAC is still taking people on sailing adventures and, as she has always done, entrances with her looks, presence, and no-nonsense sailing ability. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/608/DRIAC
 
            
        The new Volvo Penta Forward Drive is an all new drive system, which mates a forward-facing propeller (like those on IPS pod drives) with a stern drive unit. The idea is to bury the props way, way forward of the transom, so stern drive boats can be used for wake surfing - without anyone worrying about falling into the spinning propellers. Plus, the Forward Drive system helps the boats produce a cleaner, crisper wake for watersports enthusiasts. But don't take my word for it - watch the video that boats.com reviewer Charles Plueddeman filmed at the Miami boat show, and see for yourself.
