The yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is a species of stingray in the family Urotrygonidae, found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Trinidad. This bottom-dwelling species inhabits sandy, muddy, or seagrass bottoms in shallow inshore waters, commonly near coral reefs. Reaching no more than 36 cm (14 in) across, the yellow stingray has a round pectoral fin disc and a short tail with a well-developed caudal fin. It has a highly variable but distinctive dorsal color pattern consisting of either light-on-dark or dark-on-light reticulations forming spots and blotches, and can rapidly change the tonality of this coloration to improve its camouflage. Relatively sedentary during the day, the yellow stingray feeds on small invertebrates and bony fishes. When hunting it may undulate its disc to uncover buried prey, or lift the front of its disc to form a "cave" attractive to shelter-seeking organisms. This species is aplacental viviparous, meaning that the developing embryos are sustained initially by yolk and later by histotroph ("uterine milk"). Females bear two litters of up to seven young per year in seagrass, following a gestation period of 5–6 months. Though innocuous towards humans, the yellow stingray can inflict a painful injury with its venomous tail spine. This species is taken as bycatch by commercial fisheries and collected for the aquarium trade; it may also be negatively affected by habitat degradation. Nevertheless, it remains common and widespread, which has led the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to list it under Least Concern.

► Like lots of American boatbuilders, Invincible offers two ranges – monohulls and powercats – both geared towards fishing. There are now six twin-hulled models (from 33 to 46 feet) and we got to discover the brand new Invincible 36, unveiled at MIBS. Thomas Wieners, the boss of the shipyard, has drawn on his experience in the nautical, aviation and automotive industries to guarantee a very high quality of construction (12-year warranty). The hull has a raised chine, a narrow but deep tunnel, a wave-piercing system and very steep bows - all features that have proven their worth on the open sea. The deck plan adopts a center console with a particularly sophisticated helm station. The modularity of certain elements - removable rod storage, folding aft seats - allows for a certain versatility of programs. The little extra that we like: the generously topstitched upholstery (here in white and gray), a true signature of the yard based in Opa-Locka, just north of Miami. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Invincible Architects: Morelli & Melvin Length: 36’ (10.9 m) Beam: 11’8” (3.5 m) Displacement (with motors): 17,100 lbs 7,756 kg Powertrain: 4 x 300 HP outboards Fuel: 606 US gal (2,300 l) Cruising speed: 34 knots Max. speed: 60 knots Range: 600 nautical miles ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
