Denison is excited to announce the release of FRANK Magazine, an offbeat print magazine that uncovers human interest stories that give yachting its passion and breathe new life into clever ideas. Contributors highlight the humble, celebrate entrepreneurial spirit, and showcase daring adventures. It’s about capturing the raw energy and natural flair that exists within every Denison yacht owner today and echoes the sentiments held by Frank Denison, founder of Broward Marine.
From intelligent debate to cutting-edge science, and risky sports to surreal charter experiences, FRANK does not shy away from the awkward, controversial, or questionable details. Brazen at times, amusing in spirit, and always transparent in discussion, the focus is on discovering new angles and enjoying every minute. And, of course, always being ‘frank’ about the conclusions.
FRANK would like to thank its sponsors for making this dream happen. Pick up a copy at the Denison display at the 2021 Palm Beach Boat Show.
Hammer Yachts builds personalized vessels focused on boaters’ needs, ideas, and suggestions. The relatively new shipyard was founded in 2018 to create an elegant, high-performing, fuel-efficient power catamaran. Hammer Yachts builds power-catamarans that are 40% lighter compared to other vessels, which means that a HammerCat needs half the horsepower to get the same performance. There are currently two models of Hammer Yachts: HammerCat 35 and HammerCat 45, both built using 100% epoxy composite construction with a standard carbon fiber hardtop. The boutique builder uses top-of-the-line materials and the latest technology to ensure a strong and stiff hull.
