Issue #43

Description

Just released! Order issue #43 of The Captain Magazine.

Builders, rebuilders, fishos and craftsmen who can’t stop tinkering — this one’s for you.

• Sea Devil Boats 620 – more freeboard, a new wave breaker and a thumping Suzuki 350 on the back. This ain’t your usual 6m rig.
• The Cigarette — Formula 233 rebuild – one of the best rebuilds we’ve ever featured, paying tribute to Don Aronow’s legendary 1963 Formula 233, complete with a snarling V8.
• Ron Johnson’s timber ski boats – meet the old-school Jervis Bay craftsman still building beautiful wooden boats by hand.
• Stabicraft 1850 at Moreton Island – a mini alloy battleship heads offshore with an ex-military legend at the helm.
• Oceanworx Tempest 5.3 – we nab the keys for almost a week for an in-depth review of this pocket rocket.
• Black Watch 26 project boat – East Coast Boats cut, extend and completely rethink this Aussie classic as the rebuild continues.

Also inside:

• The complete guide to launching and retrieving your boat
• Sandy Resinwood on rebuilding a transom
• Aaron Teece’s scallop masterclass
• Adam Smith profiles Trapman Australia and the life of a working commercial fisherman
• Hadley Deegan from Deegan Marine on water, ethanol and boat fuel systems
