Weatherly was designed specifically for single-handed sailing and achieved the highest speed possible from a 65-foot boat. To meet these ambitious targets, this deep-draught boat has a displacement of just eighteen tonnes – equivalent to that of a Volvo 60! No option was left unexplored in the effort to keep the boat as lightweight as possible, and she was built in West epoxy with carbon spars, 3DL sails and a carbon rudder.
Underwater area of sailing boat on video is covered with so called blanket. Last time bottom was cleaned about year ago. The idea is that on the so-called blanket, marine growth will be less caught, and what gets caught will be easy to remove. The result of the test is that a lot of marine growth was collected, which even the high-pressure washing could not remove. It had to be removed with scraper.
Lock your dinghy with the biggest chain you can get. Also, lock your outboard to your dinghy chassis. Overall, make your dinghy look harder to steel than all the other boats around you. Also, there is a such thing as dinghy etiquette! Use a long painter so not to hog the dockside real estate. This enables more boats to get on the dock. And put your outboard down. When leaving it up, the propeller and lower shaft can cut into and damage another dinghy. :) #sailingexperience #sailinglife #boatlife
