1. The phrase “feeling blue” originated at sea. When a ship lost its captain during a voyage, the sailors would sail blue flags, indicating their loss. Today, when you say you feel blue, you are feeling sad. 2. Sailing has been part of the Olympics since 1896. Except for the 1904 Summer Games, sailing has been included in all modern Olympic games. That makes it one of the longest running Olympic disciplines around. 3. Sailing around the world westward is more difficult than eastward. Most world-record contenders choose to sail eastward due to the stronger and more predictable winds and currents that push eastward in the Southern Hemisphere. 4. “He’s a loose cannon” is another phrase with sailing roots. The cannons on a ship could weigh up to 3,400 pounds. Just as a loose cannon could cause damage on ship, a person referred to as such may also create unwelcome situations. 5. The world-record sailing speed is 65.45 knots (121km/h). As of November 2012, the fastest sailing speed on record is held by Australian Paul Larsen. His specially designed Sailrocket 2 has an unconventional design meant for high-speed sailing.

Discover the Granocean W-60 | Luxury Power Catamaran Yacht Learn more here: https://catamaranguru.com/gran-ocean-power-catamarans/ Working with Stimson Marine, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to study hull variations to arrive at most suitable final form. And is further used for individual load cases in customized layout designs. Howard Apollonio has drawn up outstanding semi-planing hull lines to achieve excellent sea keeping, long range efficency at low speeds and great planing characteristics at high speeds. Welcome to a behind-the-scenes tour at Granocean Shipyards, where craftsmanship and engineering meet in the construction of the W-60 — a 60-foot performance cruising yacht designed with precision, philosophy, and structural integrity. Eric, the lead builder, stays after hours to guide us through the current state of the build. With the hull and deck now jointed, the team has entered a critical phase: installing the main deck sole and lower deck sole — key structural components that unify the vessel. Structural Methodology Spotlight Eric emphasizes the importance of cohesive connectivity between all components. Four continuous bulkheads run transversely from port to starboard, forming the backbone of the boat. These aren’t just structural walls — they are integrated load pathways that connect the hull, deck, cockpit, and bilge into a single high-integrity unit. Every cut, bond, and layout choice reflects a deeply considered philosophy of durability, performance, and system harmony. The W-60 is the product of years of refinement at Granocean, known for custom high-performance catamarans that marry engineering integrity with owner-led customization. The W-series was born from a desire to break with traditional compromise-laden layouts and instead create vessels optimized from the hull up. The W-60 leverages lessons learned from the early W-52s and 62s, while integrating client feedback and performance testing across oceans. Each W-series hull carries forward a philosophy of monocoque strength, minimized vibration, and exacting weight distribution. Whether you're a seasoned sailor, aspiring builder, or simply fascinated by the inner workings of yacht construction, this video offers a detailed, unfiltered look at how expert shipwrights bring a high-performance vessel to life. 🛥️ KEY FEATURES: - 60-foot (17.9m) length with a 28.5 ft beam for unmatched interior space - Open or enclosed flybridge configurations, plus a sports-fisher version - Interior by Vripack – choose from Mediterranean, Scandinavian, Elegant Chique, or Cosmopolitan styles - Twin diesel engines with options up to 715 HP for speeds up to 26 knots - Ocean-capable with CE Certification Category A - Fully customizable layout and finish for discerning owners - Semi-planing flared hulls with high bridge deck clearance for superior seakeeping - Advanced composite construction with carbon reinforcement and structural engineering by Gurit Structural Engineer: Gurit SP Naval Architect: Howard Apollonio Designer: Eric So – Granocean Interior: VRIPACK Overall length: 58.70 feet / 17.90 meters Maximum beam: 28.50 feet / 8.70 meters Draft: 4.00 feet / 1.20 meters Maximum displacement: 30.000 Kg/ 66.140 lbs Engines: 2 x Cummins QSB6.7 380mhp Diesel Engine Fuel: 4,500 Liters/1,320 US gallons Fresh water: 1,000 Liters /264 US gallons Stay tuned for more information about GranOcean and its catamarans.

Quand vous naviguez à la voile, le vent que vous ressentez à bord n’est pas le vent réel : c’est le vent apparent Aux allures portantes (vent venant de l’arrière), la vitesse du bateau « rattrape » une partie du vent. Le vent apparent est donc plus faible : on soustrait la vitesse du bateau à celle du vent. Aux allures de près (vent venant de face), la vitesse du bateau s’ajoute au vent rencontré. Le vent apparent est alors plus fort : on additionne les deux vitesses. Comprendre cette différence est essentiel pour bien régler ses voiles et mieux comprendre le comportement du bateau. ⛵️ Vous débutez en voile ? Nous avons créé une formation en ligne qui explique simplement toutes les bases de la navigation, avec des exemples concrets et faciles à comprendre. Le lien est dans la bio ⬇️
