In the latest issue of MBM we head to Scotland to bring you 15 pages of the best Caledonian cruising, we test the Monterey 415, Aquador 33HT and Bavaria 28 Sport, and show you which mini satellite dish offers the best on-board TV picture in areas of poor reception
Latest news
The UK's helicopter search and rescue capability is to be privatised; two men escape a boat fire in the Solent; and inland boaters face fuelling up with diesel that could cause problems for their fuel systems
Making waves
We take a look at a new new prop that could spell the end of snagging worries and preview new models from Bavaria, Haines and Antaris
Monterey 415 SY
The biggest boat yet from this American builder - but has it missed a trick by only offering one form of propulsion?
Aquador 33HT
This Finnish boat caught our eye at the London Boat Show with its super-inviting layout, so we couldn't wait to get out on the water and give it a proper going over
Bavaria 28 Sport
This German builder has been quiet of late, but it explodes back onto the scene with a sportscruiser that is a delight to drive
Celtic cruising
It's all about the Highlands and islands in this 15-page Scottish special. We discover the delights of Mull, bring you an insiders' guide to Shetland and discover that the east coast of Scotland isn't a cruising wasteland after all
A labour of love
One man's obsession to bring an old Freeman 22 Mk 1 back to life - and, more importantly, what it cost
The boat that rocked
We test five of the leading mini satellite dishes on the market to find out which offers the best picture in areas of poor reception
Ask the experts
Is my boat suitable for the French canals? Which knot is best for tying a line to an anchor? These are just two of the questions answered this month by our panel of experts
New gear
Some snazzy new stainless steel deck seals and a 3D forward-looking sonar are featured in this month's roundup of all the latest marine kit
Tried & tested
The free online Wiley Nautical Almanac is thoroughly tested and we see how a 2.5hp Yamaha outboard performs over the course of a season
Will it work?
Lifejackets and liferafts are essential bits of kit - but how can you make sure they won't let you down when you need them most?
MBM Skipper
In the second part of our radar tutorial, we explain how to interpret the radar picture and show how to use it for navigation and collision avoidance
Owner's report
The Moores are smitten with their five-year-old Jeanneau Presige 34
Used boat - Aqua-Star 38/118
If you're looking for a fast passagemaker that won't be fazed by the rough stuff, this tough-looking 38-footer will be hard to beat
Plus: all the usuals, including your letters to the editor, opinion in Pontoon Talk, MBM's Secret Salesman, our new page of fun and trivia, Cruising Club information and the ever-amusing back-page confession
