On page 69 of the May 2019 issue, we published the wrong photograph of the

cockpit prep center aboard the Boston Whaler 380 Realm. This large functional

space is shown here. We also incorrectly named the cabin galley counter a

“cooktop.” We regret these errors and any confusion they may have caused.
