Born to Fish

Regulator announced recently that it's working on a new 34-foot center console sportfisherman (to date the builder's largest center console came in at 32 feet). According to the builder, this Lou-Codega-designed bluewater speedster came out of response from dealers and owners for a larger version of the builder's successful line of sportfisherman. The 34 should launch in October, just in time for the fall boat-show season.

Baby Boat Seats—The Newest Thing?

Without knowing it, this boating daddy may have created the newest hit in safety at sea. I came across this image on a fishing-based Web site, and if you look closely at the helm, this little crewmember is secured in a what looks like a car seat at the helm of a Regulator center console. (How'd he get the safety straps over the PFD?) What some people won't do to get out on their boats. Let's hear it for ingenuity.
