Are you a RIB enthusiast or a Sports Boat purist?
In Episode 2 of our second series, Hugo André and Alex Smith are coming to you from the sun-drenched flybridge of the Prestige M48 Catamaran to discuss the biggest shifts in the boating world. We take a close look at the Beneteau GT50, a boat that ignores the “wedding cake” trend of massive volume to prioritise sexiness, speed, and a connection to the water.
Supported by Sleipner
This episode is proudly supported by Sleipner, the Norwegian masters of marine technology. Handling a beamy powerboat in a nasty swell is a different world when you have the right gear. Hugo and Alex discuss the transformative power of Sleipner’s Vector Fin stabilisers—a system so quiet and effective that even a “soft-bottomed” sailor can stand on the flybridge in a Norwegian snowstorm without missing a beat.
In This Episode:
03:00 – Boat of the Week: The Beneteau GT50. Is this lower, leaner profile the future of sports cruisers?
17:30 – Product Focus: The Stabiliser Showdown. We break down the pros and cons of Gyros vs. Fins.
25:15 – The Vector Effect: Why curved fins create lift and eliminate that annoying “sway” at anchor.
34:00 – Marine Witchcraft: Alex tries to explain the “Magnus Effect” (using tennis balls and cannonballs).
37:10 – The Big Issue: RIBs vs. Sports Boats. Can a “Crossover” boat like the Highfield ADV-7 or Iron Boats truly offer the best of both worlds?
