The X47 carries the America’s Cup logo proudly on its hull

If you’re following the America’s Cup, you have probably seen the name Yanmar mentioned and pondered how the company is connected to extreme sail racing. They don’t make sails or foils, but they certainly do produce engines and hot looking powerboats. Apparently Yanmar sees the sail and power community (they power both) as one and the same, as do we at CYOB!

Yanmar’s brand flagship, the Yanmar X47 Express Cruiser leads the company into its second century of business. The 47-foot vessel offers an unprecedented combination of luxury and performance and will serve as the Official VIP Cruiser of the 36th America’s Cup presented by Prada, the oldest trophy in international sport and the pinnacle of yachting. Powered by a triple arrangement of Yanmar’s powerful 8LV marine diesel engines with ZT370 sterndrive, the X47 EXPRESS CRUISER is a 47-foot high performance motor yacht that exhibits serious acceleration and maneuvering performance with a compact engine bay that maximizes accommodation space.

After its debut at this week’s Genoa International Boat Show (the exception to the COVID-cancel list), the next chance to see the X47 will be in Auckland where it will be spectator to one of the most exciting events in world sport in the 36th America’s Cup presented by Prada. As Official VIP Cruiser of the America’s Cup, the X47 Express Cruiser will afford its lucky passengers a world of luxury and comfort while they enjoy everything this once-in-a-lifetime event has to offer.

Bennington 22 MSB

By Andy Adams

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
