At the south of Mallorca, Porto Cristo we went at anchor. Already in March, the prices to stay at marina's here are very high. But in the marina we saw a silver large catamaran. It belongs to tennisplayer Rafael Nadal, who accomodates his motorboat here. Our boat is 42 ft, so it fits twice into this Sunreef! The ship is called 'Great White' and has costs 8 millon euro's. The interior inside is luxurious, with a table tennis table (of course!) and a garage below with jetski's and seabobs. We took our dingue and admired Rafa's boat!

Do you know your Code Sails? Swipe 10 pics with info on these light wind power units. Cruising and performance sailors on yachts—especially those sailing catamarans—are increasingly turning to Code sails to fill the power gap between traditional headsails (genoas and above all self-tacking solents) and downwind spinnakers. ▫️ These free-flying, furling sails combine versatility, relative ease of use, and performance across a range of wind angles in lighter winds. ▫️ But with names like Code 0, Code 65, 55, Code D, “screecher”, "reacher" and “gennaker” floating around, what do these terms actually mean? ▫️ Let’s break it down by sail type, wind angle suitability, and best use cases. ▫️ Term Screecher slang for flat Code sails (typically Code 65 or Code 0) Gennaker - Generic asymmetric sail between genoa and spinnaker; a.k.a a Code D SMG - Sail Mid-Girth (% of foot); defines sail depth. ▫️ What's your favourite light wind sail? #Sails #academy #learnsailing
