BOAT Briefing: Stars of the Antigua Charter Show, sportfishers by numbers and a spotlight on the BDA finalists 


In this week's BOAT Briefing, Caroline and Katia talk about their shared disappointment about missing out on this year's Antigua Charter Show and highlight a few of the yachts that would be high on their must-see list. They also take a deep dive into the data surrounding sportfishers and note an impressive 40% uptick in the number of sportfishers in build or on order between the 1990s and 2000s. Elsewhere, the announcement of BOAT's Design & Innovation Awards finalists prompts some favourites - Caroline is a fan of Pershings's sporty GTX116, while Katia likes the 'Barbie dreamhouse' style of Amels' 60m Entourage. In the news, there's a major refit of an Italian icon, the outfitting of Amels' first 80-metre model and a yacht auction that gets Katia's attention.

In this week’s Big BOAT Interview, Lucy Dunn sits down with Richard Wiese, president emeritus of The Explorers Club, who has made travelling the world his life and career. Exploration is less about testosterone-fuelled expeditions, he says, and more about experiencing different cultures (and food). Taking risk is par for the course, and he pays respects to fellow explorer and good friend Hamish Harding, who died in the Titan tragedy. His one regret is that he will never have time to see the whole world, “It’s like an addiction, once you’ve seen one place you want to see more,” he says.
