BoatsEverything Old Is New Again: The New Chris CraftJanuary 7, 2007 - 8:00am — George Sass Jr.
BIGGER BY DESIGN: The Carver 33January 7, 2007 - 8:00am — George Sass Jr.
It wasn't until about five years ago or so that I really started to pay attention to Carver Yachts. I had looked at a few used models to purchase for my own enjoyment, but that is where the familiarity ended. However, as a senior editor, of a national boating magazine, I was assigned Carver as part of my beat list. Hey some journalists are assigned the police beat, I was assigned one of the leading boatbuilders in the country.Yes, it's a tough gig I know.
Gone Fishing! The Regulator 29January 7, 2007 - 8:00am — Karl AndersonLITTLE BIG BOAT: The Holby 24January 7, 2007 - 8:00am — Dennis Caprio![]() Every financial wizard, from the household budget-keeper to the CFO of a major corporation, knows how important the bottom line is to the fiscal health of a family or a business. If you're a naval architect or a boatbuilder, though, the bottom line assumes a value far beyond the last entry of a profit-and-loss statement. Home Run! Sea Ray 48 SundancerJanuary 7, 2007 - 8:00am — George Sass Jr.
The new 48 Sundancer is proof that Sea Ray is not afraid to take big swings. Sea Ray fans will first sense change in the air when they note that she is the 48 not a 480. In fact, the 48 Sundancer is the first boat in Sea Ray?Ĵs fleet to display this new badge. She is also the first Sundancer to feature a semi-enclosed helm deck. Her shapely fiberglass hardtop is integrated with a dramatic, forward sweeping arch, a curved glass windshield and glass side-windows. Legacy: The History of The Grand Banks 42January 7, 2007 - 8:00am — George Sass Jr.
It seems hard to believe today that two brothers working out of a shanty waterside shop in Hong Kong would create one of the most successful cruising boats in yachting history. You can apply a variety of qualifiers to assign such a pie in the sky statement to a boat. Maybe it's the number of units built, or a technological breakthrough of some sort. In the case of the Grand Banks 42, the fact that the model endured for more than four decades certainly earns it a place in boating's history books.
