We asked Kevin, owner of an Ovni 370, about his impressions on sailing offshore the 1200 miles from Florida to Maryland. At a 5 to 10 degree heel, the boat just sits in the chine and flies! The wide, inverted bow and additional buoyancy also means that the boat floats on top of the waves instead of plowing through them.

Hairy conditions on Thursday of Cowes Week which was also the third day of the XOD Centenary regatta. We're aboard XOD Class Captain William Norris's Beatrix with Vernon Nock (64) in the front of the boat and International Foiling Moth sailor (!) Peter Barton on the helm. William couldn't be aboard that day because he was on the Royal Yacht Squadron Platform with the Princess Royal who fired the starting cannon for this special race. In his place was Yachting World editor David Glenn. Unfortunately Beatrix was OCS which was apparently made clear to William Norris by the Princess Royal as the sail numbers were duly called out. We hope he didn't lay the blame too firmly at YW's doorstep! Despite the hiccup it was a truly great day's racing followed by a superb Centenary dinner party for 400 back in Cowes.

While bringing our new Zuri, a Lagoon 450 Sport Top home from her birthplace in France, we set sail on a leg from Caicos on the way to Georgetown in the Bahamas. We had some escorts playing in our bow wave. The sail plan is main and genoa, going a comfortable 10.2 Knots in about 12-15 Knots of wind. It's a little rough out, but we are having a blast!

We love to stop an Sansimion any time we go either up or down the coast. It's very protected from the summer winds, and has a beautiful beach and a winery on shore with some good wines!
