Little could the Victorian and Edwardian owners of six beautiful 52 feet identical gaff cutter cruiser-racers, and their young designer Alfred Mylne, imagine that more than 125 years later one of them would still be doing exactly what they'd conceived. Believed the last remaining ‘Clyde 20-Ton One Design', TIGRIS has been lucky to be almost constantly and extensively raced and cruised throughout her long life. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/752/TIGRIS And many of her owners gave back, and continue to do so to ensure that this beautiful, still very practical, fast, and superbly authentic, high provenance yacht continues to give pleasure and gain admirers. A relatively recent open heart surgery refit in current ownership by Chantier du Guip concentrated on the vitally important structural elements down below, where she is effectively only a decade old.

The yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is a species of stingray in the family Urotrygonidae, found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Trinidad. This bottom-dwelling species inhabits sandy, muddy, or seagrass bottoms in shallow inshore waters, commonly near coral reefs. Reaching no more than 36 cm (14 in) across, the yellow stingray has a round pectoral fin disc and a short tail with a well-developed caudal fin. It has a highly variable but distinctive dorsal color pattern consisting of either light-on-dark or dark-on-light reticulations forming spots and blotches, and can rapidly change the tonality of this coloration to improve its camouflage. Relatively sedentary during the day, the yellow stingray feeds on small invertebrates and bony fishes. When hunting it may undulate its disc to uncover buried prey, or lift the front of its disc to form a "cave" attractive to shelter-seeking organisms. This species is aplacental viviparous, meaning that the developing embryos are sustained initially by yolk and later by histotroph ("uterine milk"). Females bear two litters of up to seven young per year in seagrass, following a gestation period of 5–6 months. Though innocuous towards humans, the yellow stingray can inflict a painful injury with its venomous tail spine. This species is taken as bycatch by commercial fisheries and collected for the aquarium trade; it may also be negatively affected by habitat degradation. Nevertheless, it remains common and widespread, which has led the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to list it under Least Concern.

Hi we are @StellaOverboard also known as Jesse and Camille — a couple in our twenties who just made the biggest leap of our lives: we sold everything and bought our very first sailboat... in a foreign country. 🌍⛵She's a 2007 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i, complete with dual helms and three berths. This is our very first video documenting the wild adventure we've just begun — a journey of learning to sail, living off-grid, and building a new life on the ocean. We're not seasoned sailors. We're not influencers. We're two ordinary people who wanted something more: freedom, connection, and challenge. 📍 We bought our boat in: Langkawi, Malaysia 🎥 Filmed: Our first week living aboard!
