Take a look inside North Sails’ brand new UK sail loft, which opened its doors today. The loft is based in Gosport, on the southern coast of the UK, and will house a number of global departments under one roof. These include Superyacht finishing andsail production for One Design and North Sails 3Di. Set to be North Sails’ European flagship facility, the loft will enable North Sails to remain at the forefront of sail technology, innovation and manufacturing. Gosport is the first loft in the world to specialize in superyacht sails, and it’s gigantic raised floor – measuring 1,950m2 – is the largest ever built. A team of 9 designers and 82 staff members are aided by state-of-the-art technology and equipment, ensuring sails are delivered quickly, and safely – with no compromises in quality. The space is split into two manufacturing bays, and the main floor is designed to cater to superyacht sail finishing. Measuring 101x30m, the space can accommodate two J-Class headsails and a mainsail laid out simultaneously. The secondary bay is dedicated to One Design sailmaking and Certified Service sail care. North Sails’ Gosport loft will be opened by North Sails Group President, Ken Read, as well as European COO John Welch, and Peter Dubens – Managing Partner of Oakley Capital and Chairman of North Technology Group.

Instead of antifouling, we polish our prop to keep it clean and efficient. The process? Scrape off barnacles Dissolve calcium buildup with acid Polish with progressively finer compounds for a smooth finish ✨ Finally, we grease the prop, add a fresh zinc anode, and apply a final coat of Brasso before launch! Note, that this depends on the condition of your propeller. If it’s really fouled or previously painted, you might need a more thorough process - like we did last year. Drop us a comment, and we’ll send you the full how-to list! 🪩 Have you tried this method or want to try it out? Then safe it for later 📨 or do you swear by antifouling? Drop your thoughts below! 💭

We didn't expect to cook breakfast in a hot spring. San Kamphaeng hot springs, just outside Chiang Mai. Locals come every weekend with their families, picnics and everyone waiting for their number at the egg station. Here's how it works: you buy a basket of raw eggs, a woven holder, and soy sauce. Find a free hook, every hook has a number so no one steals your eggs 😄, hang your basket in the bubbling water, check the chart for soft or hard, and wait. The water shoots 3 metres out of the ground. Natural. Powerful. Completely free to watch. We added salt instead of soy sauce. Old habits. Best eggs we've ever had. No kitchen required. This is one afternoon outside Chiang Mai. We found 40+ spots like this, the kind that don't appear on any list. Chiang Mai Like a Local · Live Full. Eat Slow. More at @sailingkanoa 🔖
