C&C 99
One of a handful of production boats built today with epoxy resin in the laminate, this is a good-looking, fast racer/cruiser from Tim Jackett.

Freshwater Pumps
The Johnson Aqua Jet Uno 3.4 is impressive in a combination of ways. But it's a whopper. Check the Flojet Quad II—good price and performance.

Offshore Log: Gelcoat Maintenance
Nick Nicholson's guide to bringing back a gelcoat and keeping it glossy.

Sailing Simulator Software
