Premier chavirage sur les Griffes du Lion !! Mardi 26 mai à Port Camargue, Yvan et Mathis Bourgnon ont tenté d'établir un temps de référence sur le parcours de la Tartine Cup entre la pointe de l'Espiguette et la pointe de Beauduc. Après une première tentative qui s’est soldée par le premier chavirage des Griffes du Lion - comme quoi le parcours de la Tartine Cup réserve de belles surprises même aux plus aguerris - le duo champion d’Europe de Nacra F20, s’est ensuite lancé pour une deuxième tentative. 1h 02min et 10sec plus tard, l’équipage passait la ligne d’arrivée entre la cardinale Ouest et la marque Sud Est du parc marin de Beauduc, soit un parcours de 19,54 milles (36km) exactement, réalisé à la vitesse moyenne de 18,86 nœuds (35km/h).

The Fishermans Knot is a simple but effective way to join two lengths of rope together. The knot is more secure than a sheet bend under light load as you can tighten the overhand knots around the main lines which prevent the knot from coming undone before load is put on the lines. The Fishermans knot is preferred to tying a sheet bend when the rope diameters are the same. If you are going to have constant high levels of load on the joined lines the Fishermans Knot will become hard to untie, if you are join ropes which will stay under constant load are Sheet Bend will work better. Learning how to tie a fisherman knot is easy, most people already know how to tie a overhand knot, the Fishermans knot is tied by combining two overhand knots. Click the link below to learn how to tie a overhand knot. https://youtu.be/5z3BR2vCTcc Some sailing use cases for the Fishermans Knot include :- * Joining Jib sheets together to make them continuous * Joining Spinnaker sheets together to make them continuous. * Joining rope that have broken together in an emergency * Making a short rope longer Thanks for visiting the Bottom Up Boats channel, we hope you enjoyed this short video and you learnt a new skill that will help you with your cruising or racing.

And it was another one of those bad news days. After pulling up the deck on the outside we realised that the wood rot got into the samson post right on deck level. After poking a knife into the samson post to determine how far along the wood rot has gone (hoping we could safe the samson post) we quickly realised that it's rotten almost halfway through and it was a hard decision, I do have to admit it took a bit of convincing, I really wanted to save the old post, I really didn't want another project, it's all getting a bit overwhelming lately, like what the hell was I thinking, buying a timber boat... But yeah the boat builder and a few other friends did talk some sense into me, it is probably not the safest idea to moor your boat on a half rotten post. So here we go, winching the old post out to use it as a template to make a new one :) IG: @ yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStormy

Stromboli Night Boat Tour Volcano Firework Unique Experience. Aeolian islands, Eruption of volcano. Sciara del fuoco, Panarea Happy Hour. Embark on the Stromboli Night Boat Tour, an extraordinary adventure that promises an unparalleled experience. Imagine witnessing one of the most spectacular natural events in the world, the eruption of the Stromboli volcano. Boat excursion Panarea & Stromboli By Night with boarding from Marina di Portorosa (ME) The day begins by sailing towards Panarea, the smallest of the Aeolian Islands but unique in its charm and beauty. It is characterized by diving and snorkeling sites, crystal clear waters, especially in Zimmari Beach and in the Calajunco Reserve, our first stops. On Panarea you will see incredible rock formations, coral reefs and a rugged and seductive silhouette sculpted by volcanic activity. At the end of the morning, we will disembark on the island for lunch; and this too will be an absolute experience, like the taste of the fish and our wines. We return to the sea heading placidly towards Stromboli meeting the small islands of “Basiluzzo” and “Strombolicchio”, where you will go around by boat to look at a fortress and the lion face. Relax, dive and swim are the prelude before mooring in Stromboli. A stroll before stopping at one of the meeting places frequented by the International Jet Set for an aperitif or, why not? A pizza waiting for the beginning of sunset to get back on board and head in front of the “Sciare del Fuoco”. We are waiting for you to tell us about this opportunity that the whole world talks about but few can see. With eyes and soul full of amazement you will return quietly to port, ready to want to tell everyone what you have experienced. This is not just any boat trip; it is an astonishing journey that goes beyond wonder, providing a unique opportunity to be up close to the magnificent display of nature’s power.
