UPDATE 9/11/18 - just in from Boris Best from the upwind bouncing bam bam bam. All good here so far.Liebe grüße Tech talk: I had broken a lashing between the mast and the block for the mast rotation purchase. I left the mast rotation loose as upwind it aligns itself usually pretty nicely. This morning around 4 the boat was suddenly starting to act weirdly. I checked the wind angle display but i was upwind, although the boat was jumping over the waves and reaching at 2 knots. Heeled over a lot. I felt quickly that it was wrong with the wind instruments. I switched on the B system and find out that was broken. No surprise that the wind vane on the top of the mast was damaged after all the slamming. My heart beat rises imagining sailing the rest of the race with no instruments like in the TJV. It means a big penalty in performance. To figure out what was going on i swapped over some elements and could find that on my main system only the mast angle sensor had broken, possibly as a consequence of leaving the mast rotation open. I repaired the lashing, adjusted the mast to this upwind angle and gave the instruments a manuel input for mast angle instead of the sensor. That way my A system is now fully up and giving nice wind data again. A small issue but in the darkness and upwind - slamming is quite annoying. So happy now that i still have one functional wind vane at the top of the mast and can sail with autopilot following the wind angle… that helps a lot!

… and, actually, every other day too 😅🐶 Throughout the summer, we noticed that Anker just wants to curl up in bed while we work on the boat. No matter how much noise we make, he’s happy lying in his ‘big dog bed.’ Do you have a safe space too?

The Lagoon 570 is a large catamaran with plenty of space on board and can accommodate up to 10 guests in 5 double en-suite cabins with separate crew quarters for a Skipper or extra guests. This is one of the nicest presented Lagoon catamarans that we have had on our listings and is always kept in absolutely immaculate condition inside and out in fact I do not feel that you would find better without a long hard search, this catamaran is a real beauty! One of the older style Lagoons, which in many peoples opinion was a much better sailing yacht, better built with a generous degree of performance compared to the newer options..... This catamaran is based in Portugal and is ready to go now and expected to sell quickly, due to her lovely condition and current demand for the larger older style catamarans. With this catamarans spacious layout it would be an ideal crewed charter option or a superb private family world cruiser. Maintained to perfection by her carefully owners and fully loaded with options, the yacht is extremely well equipped. If your looking in the 60ft foot range for a catamaran you owe yourself a trip to see this one as it is rather special with huge cockpit and luxurious saloon there is plenty of space on board for family friends or charter guests and rarely available this side of the pond.
