Yachts & boats
The Canon
Read the manifesto →Boats built around a stated purpose, selected and taken apart. For each we write a dossier: owner voices, known problems, real prices, what to check before you buy. Finished dossiers get cards; the rest are underway. Why this list and no other — that's the manifesto.

The wider market
The market is wider than the Canon. Production boats carry most of the world's sailors, and carry them well. Here are our reviews of mainstream models and industry pieces, written with the same respect for facts.
