Furuno didn't have any new marine electronics to show us this year, but when we spent a moment talking with the Furuno guys, we learned something very interesting. So interesting, in fact, we just had to get it down on film - check it out. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/12/furuno-first-look-video/ For more electronics videos, visit www.boats.com.

Its a beautiful day and we are having a bit of lunch on our way to Sydney Australia. This is our first major cruise shortly after launching. The boat has a temporary mast just over 6m long that we made up ourselves from 2 pieces of mast section, sleeved in the middle and erected on the beach at Southwest Rocks. We used 6 hand swagged wires.
