Originally designed as a fast cruiser and capable racing boat, the 42s7 comes with a very attractive and functional interior designed by Philippe Stark. The pear wood and curved shapes, multiple opening ports and generous headroom gives the impression of a much larger boat. The oval salon table comfortably fits 6 to 8. Being a First series boat by Bruce Farr Yacht Design, the 42s7 is a pleasure to sail and will perform very well in light air as well as gale conditions. This two cabin layout features a salon perfect for entertaining, with the galley that is out of the way, yet secure on passage. A pair of electric primary winches in the cockpit make sailing and getting the dinghy up easy! Boats setup to cruise internationally come with much more gear than what you’re used to seeing in marinas in the United States. Davits, dinghy, solar panels, fuel polishing, water maker, new generation anchors and heavy duty chain and windlasses. This 42S7 has it all! Save money on taxes and refit expenses by buying a boat already in Mexico ready to go anywhere!

San Blas Reborn: New Islands Emerge Amidst Climate Change Hysteria The San Blas archipelago, known for its stunning beauty and cultural richness, is witnessing a profound transformation driven by both the forces of nature and the resilience of the Guna people. As climate change alters the geography of this paradise, new islands are emerging, while existing ones face the threat of submersion. This dynamic evolution highlights the Guna community’s adaptability and determination to preserve their way of life in the face of environmental challenges. San Blas: A timeless paradise where nature’s beauty and local culture blend seamlessly, following the natural cycles of life. A New Island Emerges in San Blas Off the coast of Maoqui in the Dutch Cays, a new island is gradually taking shape. What started as a mere speck of land, approximately 5 meters by 8 meters, has grown over the past decade to a remarkable 40 meters by 80 meters. This natural phenomenon of island formation in Guna Yala is not just a geological event; it carries significant cultural implications. The new island in San Blas in its early stages, very small, from 10 years ago. The new island in its early stages 10 years ago, gradually growing in size. Aerial view of emerging island in San Blas, Panama, forming in front of Maoqui island, which is visible in the background. In the Guna tradition, when a new island forms, the first family to plant coconut trees on it typically claims the right to inhabit it once it becomes fully habitable. This process is neither quick nor straightforward—it can take years for the island to reach a stable size, where it is no longer submerged during high tides. On this newly emerging island, Jose's family, our longtime deckhand of our Mambo Diablo Salina 48 catamaran and dear Guna friend, has already planted between 30 and 40 coconut trees in neat rows, staking their claim to the land. However, they must remain vigilant, as the death of these trees could jeopardize their ownership. Recently planted coconut trees by a family on Maoqui Island, who will eventually have the right to live there and utilize its resources. The Guna use coconuts and seafood for both sustenance and income.

The Guna use coconuts and seafood for both sustenance and income. The final decision on ownership, however, rests with the General Guna Congress. While the family continues to nurture their coconut trees, they must wait for the island to stabilize—a process that could take several more years. This careful stewardship reflects the Guna’s deep connection to their land and their ability to adapt to the slow but steady changes brought about by climate change. Relocating from Cartí Sugdupu: A Community in Transition While new islands are forming, other parts of San Blas face a more ominous reality. The island of Cartí Sugdupu, one of the 49 inhabited islands in the archipelago, is under threat from overcrowding. With its population exceeding 1,000 people, crammed into an area roughly the size of five football fields, the island’s future is uncertain. Despite media narratives, the relocation of Cartí's inhabitants to the mainland is primarily due to overpopulation and the severe shortage of space on the island. There is no longer any room for the younger generation seeking to establish their homes. This is the indisputable reality, rather than the alarmist headlines circulated by some outlets. Furthermore, while it is true that some islands may eventually submerge in the distant future, new islands are simultaneously emerging, reflecting the ongoing natural cycle of change in San Blas. Carti Sugdupu, San Blas. The Panamanian government has acknowledged the urgent need to relocate the residents of Cartí Sugdupu. However, both the government and the media focus on the islands' potential to sink as the reason for their actions, while the underlying reality is one of overpopulation and a severe lack of space. The island, which stands 50 cm to 1 meter above sea level, is supposedly predicted to be submerged in the coming decades. In response to this projection, the government has initiated a relocation plan, moving the community to a new mainland settlement called Nuevo Cartí, or Isber Yala ("Tree of Níspero").

Half hot-rod, half Sport Utility Yak, the lightweight Mirage Compass employs Hobie's time-tested MirageDrive pedal system, and new Kick-Up Fins, to conquer the water. Patented Kick-Up Fin Technology takes the worry out of kayaking in shallow, structure-filled waters by automatically retracting upon impact. Outfitted with a breathable mesh seat, the Compass offers maximum stability and an oversized cockpit and flat deck for standing. A sharp turning radius makes this fishing kayak nimble in tight quarters, yet able to speed over open water in stealthy fashion. Kayak fishing features include molded-in rod holders, H-Track accessory mounts and a transducer cavity ready for you to install a Lowrance® fishfinder. For a stealthy look, upgrade to the Compass Camo package that is outfitted with the reversing MirageDrive 180 with Kick-Up Fins, and comes in Camo color.
