It was two years ago in May. I was teaching an instructional passage, and we were in Bermuda waiting for weather to allow us to continue north to Newport. Of course, we knew that the America’s Cup was happening. Still, the absolute mind-boggling spectacle of seeing those boats…..doing that! As we entered the outer bay near Hamilton, there, right in front of us, was Oracle, sitting in the water, getting coached up by her chase boats. Now not more than 40-50 yards away, the crew trimmed in the wing sail. The boat lurched a little, started moving….then bam! Like the Starship Enterprise in the Star Trek movies, it popped up, onto its’ foils, and was off at nearly 40 knots. Warp speed Scotty!

A three stateroom, two head layout and one of the most spacious layouts of any boat in its class. An open concept main deck layout provided by fully opening glass doors that blend the cockpit into the galley and further into the main salon giving the perception of a space found on a much larger yacht. Some of the most unique features of this Carver C50 is the separate entrance to the full beam master at the aft end opposite the galley. Forward of the main deck salon will be stairs down to the VIP and guest stateroom, which will share a head and separate shower. Another one of the many unique features that will set the C50 apart form any other yacht in this size range is the optional day head on the main deck. She will also feature a spacious flybridge layout and a truly usable foredeck seating area. This Carver C50 will have a standard engine package with twin Cummins 6.7L 480HP diesels providing a top end of 28 knots. Optional Cummins 6.7L 600HP will have a top speed of 33 knots and that largest engine package, the Cummins QSM11 715HP will have a top speed of 36-37 knots.

The X-Minis in the video are all built with rechargeable batteries inside (with up to 12 hrs of playback) and because they all incorporate USB you can charge of any device with a USB electric current. It's very cool but unusual feature called 'buddy jack' which by it's design allows you to connect a row of X-Minis for an amazing amount of sound.
