Ocean Film Boat “Water Wizards”

Steve Shidler’s 50' powercat “Water Wizards” just completed a nonstop passage from Long Beach, California to the Panama Canal — a distance of approximately 2800 nautical miles — in just under six days. At an average speed of 20 knots he burned just over twenty gallons per hour. This passage was completed with his wife and two-year-old son onboard. They are next on their way to Valencia, Spain.

Columbia 30 “Sprint”

Columbia Yachts has introduced its new “Sprint” model. The Sprint is geared towards the bouy racer. The inboard diesel has been replaced with a small outboard motor and some of the interior components have been simplified. Nearly 700 lbs have been shed from the original Columbia 30 to make it lighter on the race course and easier on your tow vehicle. www.columbiayachts.com/yachts/c_Sprint.php
