This week Cécile caught up with experienced broker, enthusiastic sailor, and industry insider Toby McLaurin. He started his career as a shipwright but soon found out he was better suited to sales than carpentry. He tells us how he got started, shares his best sailing story – it involves a Dutchman who fell overboard during an Atlantic crossing – and discusses recent trends, including the sailing market, the rise of catamarans, conversions, and the lasting impact of the war in Ukraine and the sanctions. Ahead of the Monaco Yacht Show where Ocean Independence will display the Abeking & Rasmussen Soaring, he also raises the question, is it time for the yachting industry to rethink what a yacht show really is.

While building a very successful car dealership business in Louisiana, Bob Giles never lost his innate sense of adventure. After a lifetime of boating, in 2018, he took delivery of the 30 metre Nordhavn 96 VivieRae and logged 20,000 miles in just 10 months.

In this week's Big BOAT Interview, we sit down with novelist Emma Bamford ahead of the release of debut thriller Deep Water. BOAT’s former production editor Emma has harnessed all of her sailing experience for this dark tale, which is based around a honeymoon couple that sail to the paradise island of Amarante. Emma talks about how her global travels – including a dramatic decision in her thirties to quit her job in journalism to fly to Borneo to work on yacht with a man she had never met before and his cat – influenced the storyline and why yachties are always drawn to adventure.

When four young women of colour who worked in shark science met online, they had no idea where their casual conversation would lead. Two years later and their charity, Minorities in Shark Science (MISS), has gathered over 400 members worldwide, as well as a 2022 Ocean Award.

Carlee Jackson, MISS’s Director of Communications, talks to BOAT International about their journey so far, and why she hopes that MISS will ensure that young gender minorities of colour who are interested in science will never feel as isolated as she once did.

Could this be the future of yachting design? A trimaran nearly as wide as it is long with virtually unlimited range, as long as there is wind, water and sun. Designer Pieter Van Geest and naval architect Rob Doyle conceived Domus as a flexible platform, ideally suited for a circumnavigation (“Panamax ready” both in terms of its width and height), or a party platform. The design team says that despite its radical looks (please go to boatinternational.com for the incredible visuals), this trimaran would be easier and less expensive to build than a comparable catamaran. All systems are concentrated in the central hull, and the boat could be built in sections. Roy and Pieter, who both have a particular affinity to sailing have worked with Ron Holland in years past and now both head their own studios, in Ireland and The Netherlands respectively. They say the pendulum is swinging back to sailing, and one of the challenges is the lack of build slots. However, with everyone looking for space, a trimaran is a plausible and attractive solution, which offers plenty of space to stretch out and incorporate solar panels, batteries, and fuel cells.

As well as refitting this 1967 beauty, Sykes has also been involved with the multi-million pound restoration of Grantley Hall, a 1600s countryside mansion that’s now one of Britain’s leading luxury hotels, which he bought together with his mother Valeria. Sykes talks about the small changes that have made a big difference his yacht, which became a project that the whole family was involved in; how he was forced to change careers after the financial crisis of 2008; what he still has to learn in the world of hospitality; and why for him, success is so much more than the bottom line of a balance sheet.
