In fact, three of the five Reviews are for yachts only making their international debuts in September, readyviewed led by the astonishing 111m Lurssen Tis , which was expected to be the Monaco Yacht Show’s largest-ever yacht by length, according to the show line-up at time of going to print.The 111m Tis built by Lurssen will be the largest-ever yacht displayed at the Monaco Yacht Show - and is reviewed in Yacht Style Issue 49; Photo: Klaus JordanThe 111m Tis built by Lurssen will be the largest-ever yacht displayed at the Monaco Yacht Show – and is reviewed in Yacht Style Issue 49; Photo: Klaus Jordan

At the other end of the size scale, readyviewed there’s a Review of Sunseeker’s new Hawk 38 , a blisteringly quick boat that tops 62 knots and looks unlike anything else currently produced by the Poole builder.Sunseeker's new Hawk 38 has her world premiere at Cannes - and is already reviewed in Yacht StyleSunseeker’s new Hawk 38 has her world premiere at Cannes – and is already reviewed in Yacht Style

The Hawk is another example of the recent push for powerful dayboats, with several leading luxury yacht builders bucking the market trend
for greater length and volume by providing a smaller, faster alternative.

The event is previewed in the Shows section, which also features a new addition to the yachting calendar: the Thailand Charter Week from November 16-21.

Yacht Style’s second annual Multihulls Issue throws the spotlight on power and sailing catamarans, as the boating industry pushes on.

Considering how sustainability has pushed to the fore again during this difficult period, Yacht Style’s annual ‘Multihulls Issue’ seems to have come at a good time and we’re delighted to profile the latest updates on these twin-hulled cruisers, whose appeal goes far beyond impressive economy.

With many of these catamaran builders developing increasingly large motor yachts, powercats have been making headlines since our last multihull issue, so we’ve split our cover story between power and sail.

Yacht Style has released Issue 52, our second bimonthly magazine of 2020 for March/April. Considering the effects of the coronavirus, this is a good time to get out of the city and enjoy yachting, and why we chose a cover photo of a Fairline F//Line 33 that captures the peace and serenity the sea can offer.

The coronavirus has affected different areas in different ways, but in much of Asia, most large-scale events have been pushed back or cancelled, including the boat shows in Japan, Dubai, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong originally scheduled for March and April. Korea has rescheduled for June, Singapore for October and Dubai for November, but check updates on these and other events to know what’s coming up in your area.
