While Vela is on land, we get the perfect opportunity to show you everything beneath the waterline! Let's take a closer look: ? The Rudder: A spade rudder gives us excellent steering capabilities, but its design makes it more sensitive to impacts compared to a skeg rudder. ?? The Propeller: Our Max Prop automatic feathering propeller adjusts itself when we sail, reducing drag and letting us glide faster through the water. ? The Keel: Weighing 3100 kg, it is a fin keel with a bulb at the bottom. The keel ensures we stay upright by counteracting the wind in the sails. It also minimizes sideways drift while sailing.' ? The Bow Thruster: This little helper makes docking and maneuvering in tight spots easier by pushing the bow to either side - but it's not much help in strong winds! ? Thru hulls and Drains: Did you know we have 18 holes below the waterline? 16 are thru hulls for water intakes, discharges, and transducers, while 2 are for cockpit drainage. Since the old fittings were 20 years old, we replaced them all to ensure Vela stays leak-free. Every detail below the surface has been carefully designed and maintained to keep us safe and efficient on the water. Could you imagine replacing 18 fittings under your boat? Let us know in the comments! ?

In this remote part of the world, the locals rely on their resourcefulness, cutting down sago trees with machetes to build homes that can last up to 20 years.
