Welcome to SportsBoat.co.uk
If you think the boat on the cover of the latest issue of Sports Boat and RIB looks amazing just wait until you see what's inside this feature packed issue of the best powerboating magazine around.
With the Southampton Boat Show just around the corner, and hundreds of boats for sale from the very small speed boats to the incredibly large powerboats, we've included a guide to the must-see stands. One boat making its UK launch at the Southampton show will be the stunning Sunseeker 40m. With the launch of this superyacht we've been looking into the state of the UK's superyacht industry.
Many of you are buying a boat or simply love reading about new boats and so head straight to the latest boat tests, and you're going to love this issue's trio, which includes the stunning cover boat seen opposite. The Vector V-40 is fantastically fast... need we say more?A very different boat is the Humber Sports Pro 1000 RIB, tested by the Ed. Check out his report to find out if this leisure RIB ticks all the right boxes. The final boat test for this month is the Hysucat Extreme 800 - is this the best hydrofoil leisure boat you can buy?
As well as these boats on test we go powerboat training with the Navy, search for a second home in Malta and investigate the re-birth of the all-important Yamaha 70 outboard engine. For all this and much more check out the October issue of Sports Boat and RIB today!
