Offshore Log: IMX 45 Boat ReviewNick Nicholson recently returned from the Marblehead-Halifax Race, in which he was aboard the winning boat as navigator. He decided to devote his column this month to a review of that boat. Just the Numbers, Please: A Stand-Alone Sounder Sampling The Raymarine ST40 and ST60 shine in our test of nine sounders.

Freedom 30 A collaboration between Garry Hoyt on the marketing side and Gary Mull on the design, and built tough by Tillotson-Pearson, this boat, while not quick in light air, is a total cinch to sail. Wet-Cell 12-Volt Battery Test Two batteries from Deka and one from Interstate lead the pack in our test of eight deep-cycle batteries. Coastal Cruising Guides A capable cruising guide can make the difference between anxiety and confidence while sailing. It can make shoreside chores efficient, and even provide good bunk reading by lamplight while the winds whistle.
