The big star of our December issue isn't a boatyard, but a place - Scandinavia. Our northern neighbours are producing some truly exceptional craft, from the carbon-hulled Delta 54 IPS and Nord West 430 Sport to the 45-knot, 800hp Botnia Targa 32, all of which are on test this month. That's not forgetting the scenery - Tony Fleming reports back after nosing his boat into a few fjords. Elsewhere, we get to grips with the Ferretti 870, bring you all the stars from the Cannes Boat Show and meet a reader who's restored his ageing Sunseeker with a vinyl hull wrap. We also tackle winterising and say farewell to the Adriatic as our cruising couple heads home BOAT REPORTS NEW BOATS FROM CANNES Azimut Magellano 43; Ferretti 690; Cranchi 54 Fly; Sunreef Power 60; Absolute 55; Art of Kinetik Antagonist; Grand Banks 54 EU; Riva 63 Virtus; Galeon 550 Fly; Princess 40M; Outer Reef 70; Monte Carlo Yachts 70 TEST DELTA 54 IPS This all-carbon coupe is a lesson in Scandinavian style and substance SEA TRIAL BOTNIA TARGA 32 It's the fastest Botnia Targa ever built but can such a short hull cope with 800hp?
