From helm response to sail handling, electrical systems to comfort underway, every element is rigorously tested. Precision is everything. These trials are a key moment to fine-tune, adjust, and validate the full experience before final delivery. Because when a Gunboat is delivered, it must feel perfect. #Gunboat7203 #Yasasin #SeaTrials #GunboatDNA #FastCruising

A rogue wave from a different direction to the general wave train hits my boat while hove to (not sailing) in a storm, 100 miles off the Australian coast on passage from New Caledonia to Brisbane in November 2017. This was during my single-handed sailing circumnavigation in Fathom, my Vancouver 28. The tiller is not lashed completely to leeward as I was experimenting in keeping some way on. Conditions improved enough after 3 days that I was able to start sailing again and safely make landfall. If I had tried to close on the coast in these conditions it could have been a disaster in the shallow water and even bigger breaking waves found in the South Australian Current (another solo sailor was rescued at the time).

We were walking along at the boat show in Cannes, France, minding our own business, when the aHqua2O mini-sub stopped us in our tracks. Qu'est que c'est? We've seen mini-subs intended for the recreational marine market pop up before, but never one quite like this. Naturally, we had to get it all down on film. The aHqua2O by Sea Warriors set itself apart from those other uber-expensive undersea playthings in a number of ways. But before we get to that stuff, let's make one thing clear right off the bat. Although it isn't exactly cheap, this is one of the most reasonably-priced recreational submarines we've ever encountered, with an MSRP of about $170,000. Heck, that's not much more than some of the tenders it might displace. So let's dream for a bit, shall we? The aHqua2O designed specifically to fit in the garages of most yachts that can accommodate tenders and/or other water-toys, like PWCs or small jet boats. LOA is 13'0" and beam is 10'2" Or, it can be 7'10", because one of the key features is a pair of folding stabilizer wings which swing down for storage. The sub's height is 5'7".
