These clips are from onboard the MOD70 Race For Water which is currently lying third in the Rolex Fastnet Race just ahead of her sistership Veolia Environement. They've just gone round the Rock and are flying! These videos showing Steve Ravussin steering the 6.5 ton rocket ship are from the last Friday of Cowes Week when editor David Glenn sailed round the Isle of Wight for a quick demo. We hit 30.7 knots between St Catherine's and Bembridge and despite stopping for half an hour to fix the main hull rudder got round in less than 4 hours. Eight of the MOD70s have been sold for a major world tour of passage racing and inshore round the cans stuff. Watch out for an upcoming feature in Yachting World.
The Schenker Zen 100 watermaker literally makes converting seawater into pure drinking water as easy as pressing some buttons. In this video, we discuss the add-on module that allows the system to automatically monitor the generated water for salt content and only start filling the fresh water tanks when the water is free from salt. Note: I believe this will increase the cost of the watermaker option slightly, but it is a small (couple hundred dollars I was told?) upgrade compared to the system cost and really takes all the guess work out of water creation. Given the importance of water, we're going with this upgrade! Want more?
