J/133
Built on a heritage of performance, this 43-foot sprit-boat offers a classic interior, stellar speed, and smooth handling.

Flashlight Death-Match
For good old fashioned reliability and brightness, we like Rayovac's Roughneck. Pelican's Super Sabrelite is a good choice for portability, and either of two LED models would make sense for your ditch bag.

Headings: The Bare Essentials
Noted seamanship authority John Rousmaniere offers a problem-focused approach to determining and selecting basic but essential safety equipment for the coastal cruising vessel.

Inflatable PFDs Put to the Test
The UK-made Crewsaver's Crewfit takes first prize in our test of nine vests. The hitch—it's not USCG approved. Mustang is our runner-up.
