Back Cove Yachts Debuts New 32’ Model

Backcove 32 Exterior

June 22, 2016

Back Cove Yachts announces the debut dates for its newest model, the Back Cove 32. Internationally, the 32 will debut September 15-18 at the Newport International Boat Show, in Newport, Rhode Island. Meanwhile, the local debut is set for August 12-14, at the 2016 Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors Show, in Rockland, Maine.

The Back Cove 32 bears an essential family resemblance to the rest of the company’s lineup, which spans 30-41 feet. Below deck, the 32 features a split water-closet and shower stall, a generous island-berth, and beautiful American cherry woodworking. On deck, the practical and elegant single-level deck flows from her walk-through transom, between a starboard galley and a convertible U-shaped settee to port, to the companionway. The 32 upholds Back Cove Yachts’ reputation for nautically sensible designs, reliable and fuel efficient performance, and easy maintenance, making it the perfect choice for the contemporary cruising couple.

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
