Designed by Fife of Fairlie, Scotland, and built by Nevins of City Island, New York -- yacht design and build pedigree doesn’t get much better. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/780/FIFI When Larchmont Yacht Club member Harry L. Maxwell decided to join the burgeoning mid-1920s Long Island Sound Universal Rule R-Class fleet, his Ulster-Scots ancestry took him to William Fife III for the design of FIFI and he had her built relatively locally by the perfectionist, Henry B. Nevins. During seven summers of hard class racing, and many more as a performance cruiser-racer that’s a lot of fun to sail, FIFI’s pedigree stood her in good stead. The inevitable later life deep restoration in current ownership means that FIFI enters her second century as strong if not stronger than her first, and as beautiful as ever.

While we already liked the Elite 7 with DownScan thanks to its large seven-inch screen and robust construction (see Sonar Smack-Down), Lowrance has improved the unit by adding limited CHIRP abilities. This seems to be Lowrance's answer to Raymarine's Dragonfly, which is another form of "CHIRP light." (Read Raymarine Dragonfly: A Whole New Breed of Fishfinder, for more info, and note that Raymarine has announced a new, larger, seven-inch version is in the works and will be on the market soon with pricing expected to be in the neighborhood of $1,000.).
