The mast is what transforms Vela into a true sailing vessel, harnessing the power of the wind to carry us around the world. ? Standing tall at 18 meters above the waterline, it's more than just a sail holder-it's a hub of essential gear: ? Wind instruments tell us the direction and speed of the wind. ? VHF antenna keeps us in communication with other vessels. ? Navigation lights guide us safely in the dark. ?? Radar and reflector detect other ships, weather squalls, and make sure we're seen. And let's not forget the sails that make it all happen: ? Genoa (head sail): Easily rolled in and out from the cockpit. ?? Main sail: Adds stability and power, with reefing controlled from the safety of the cockpit. ? Asymmetrical spinnaker: A colorful, lightweight sail for catching light winds downwind. Whether it's cruising calm waters or bracing for strong winds, everything is managed safely from the cockpit. Our mast is not just a symbol of freedom-it's a feat of engineering that keeps us moving forward. Do you have a favorite sail to work with? Drop a ?? in the comments if you'd love to try handling a spinnaker! ?

This was a scouting cruise on a catamaran through the southern Dalmatian islands, designed to explore and shape a new route for an upcoming regatta. A warm spring day, the promise of summer in the air, a near-complete calm on the water, and a crew in high spirits - the perfect setting for inspiration and discovery. Video by @NesterovMikhail
