🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [26/52] 🪢 Are you team upwind or team downwind? Linnea was our first boat with a furling headsail and the natural way for us was to head upwind. It was always a hard job, and Marcus was the only one with enough strength to be able to furl it in even though we only had a small self-tacking jib. But then we got this advice and it was a game changer! The idea seems pretty obvious now, but we had just never considered it! Now handling the furler is an easy job, that we both can manage. Hope this will be of use for your boatlife too 🫶🏼 Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friend who needs to see this to get inspired to create their own adventure 🫶🏼

Stamattina ci siamo svegliati alle 5 con un forte strattone dato dal gavitello. Le raffiche di vento sono in aumento e si prevede aumentino ancora. Mentre con gli occhi ancora chiusi cerchiamo di capire il da farsi penso che a migliaia di km da noi, dove si trovano tutti i nostri affetti, sono le 10 del mattino. Immagino un sabato indaffarato, fatto di sciarpe e scarpe chiuse, magari un caffè, oppure ancora nel letto a poltrire. Qui ogni cosa risposa, laggiù la vita è già sveglia da un po’, anche per i più pigri. È sempre affascinante mettere in pausa la propria realtà e fare un passo indietro per avere una visione d’insieme e rendersi conto che ognuno ha intorno la propria realtà. Una realtà relativa, non assoluta! È facile vivere nel tunnel della propria vita, ma intorno ci sono altre storie, altre vite, altre stagioni. E così, mentre noi siamo qui. Ognuno è nel proprio qui. Freddo o caldo che sia. Giorno o notte che sia. Esiste attraverso gli occhi di chi lo vive. Ed è così che in ogni istante è rinchiuso tutto il mondo.

Ein Gefühl von grenzenloser Freiheit, während saphirblaues Wasser unter dem Bug tanzt. Oder das Gefühl von Sicherheit, wenn du das Steuer zum ersten Mal eigenständig in der Hand hältst. Und natürlich von völliger Unbeschwertheit, wenn du dich einfach zurücklehnst und nichts außer das Geräusch der sanft wogenden Wellen deine Ruhe stört. Was wir tun, ist weit mehr als Yachturlaub. Wir bilden Skipper aus. Wir führen dich durch deine erste Regatta. Wir gestalten deine Yacht neu – innen wie außen. Wir verwirklichen Träume, unterstützen beim Bootskauf und beim Bootsverkauf und betreuen Yachten mit größter Sorgfalt. Jeder Kurs, jeder Törn, jede Beratung ist für uns ein Versprechen: Exzellenz mit Herz. Persönlichkeit mit Weitblick. Und unvergessliche Momente, auf See und an Land. Für Entdecker, Genießer, Visionäre – und für alle, die die See nicht nur sehen, sondern erleben wollen. Liebe Grüße Jürgen Dobner Yachtexperte & Traumerfüller #dobneryachting #nauticliving #mehralseinname #emotionaufsee #luxusmitseele

-- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 135 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
