Read the full review: http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/12/horizon-yachts-pc52-mini-megayacht/?utm_campaign=2015HorPC52flv The Horizon PC52 isn't just large for its LOA, this boat seems like a megayacht twice its size. The reason why? Powercats have beam - lots of beam - as compared to monohulls. And in this case, the boat is a whopping 22' across. Reviewer Gary Reich found one of these yachts at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, and jumped aboard to shoot this short First Look Video.

In this video we show a clever technique for hanging a line on itself for a tidy and organized boat. No fancy gadgets required, just this simple technique. And it works for all kinds of lines that are attached to the boat, in the cockpit, on the mast, on the boom, anywhere!
