Velejando de vento em POPA no Delta 17 - Lagoa da conceição - Florianópolis SC Velejar de vento em popa é uma modalidade emocionante e desafiadora da vela em que o vento sopra diretamente por trás do barco, impulsionando-o de forma rápida e eficiente. Essa forma de velejar permite alcançar altas velocidades e experimentar uma sensação de liberdade única. Durante uma velejada de vento em popa, as velas são ajustadas de forma específica para capturar a força do vento. A vela principal é içada completamente, enquanto a genoa, vela da proa, é posicionada do lado oposto ao vento. Essa configuração permite que o barco seja impulsionado pelo vento de maneira poderosa. Uma das principais vantagens de velejar de vento em popa é a emoção de alcançar velocidades impressionantes. Com o vento impulsionando o barco por trás, é possível sentir a pressão nas velas e cortar as ondas rapidamente, experimentando uma sensação de velocidade e adrenalina.

🚤 The State of the Yacht Industry: Inflation, Rising Costs, and Changing Demographics 🌊 The yacht industry is facing tough times, and in this video, we break down exactly why. With over 30 years in the industry, we've witnessed both the highs and lows, but the current "perfect storm" of economic factors—rising inflation, higher interest rates, increased insurance costs due to storms, and the rapid spike in boat prices—has made this downturn particularly challenging. 🔹 Why are yacht prices so high? Learn about how the fallout from COVID-19 has caused the price of new catamarans to soar by 25-30%, making boat ownership unreachable for many who once could afford it. 🔹 Shifting Demographics & Boating Experiences The next generation of boaters is looking for the experience of yachting without the burden of private ownership. We explore the growing demand for yacht charters, managed boat programs, and crewed experiences that offer adventure without the responsibility. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just looking for a relaxing escape, charter programs are becoming the go-to choice for those who want to enjoy life on the water. 🔹 What’s Next for the Yacht Market? As the market shifts, larger yachts like the highly anticipated Bali 5.8 are set to make waves. Set to debut at the Annapolis Boat Show, the Bali 5.8 offers luxury features—spacious layouts, innovative designs, and competitive pricing—making it a game-changer in the 60-foot class. It comes in at an impressive price point, significantly lower than other yachts in the same range, offering unbeatable value for buyers. 🔹 Luxury for Less: Crewed Yacht Charters The rise of crewed yacht charters is another trend reshaping the industry. Discover how the experience of chartering by the cabin on yachts like the Bali 5.8 is becoming more attractive to travelers who want a personalized cruise-like experience but with far more exclusivity and access to private beaches. 🎉 Join Us at the Annapolis Boat Show! We’re excited to unveil the new Bali 5.8 at the show, and we’ll be hosting an exclusive launch party. Don't miss your chance to see this stunning yacht firsthand and learn more about the future of the yachting industry.

Best period to visit the San Blas islands ranges from November to August. Leaving the out the months of September and October might be a good idea due to the rain and squalls that occasionally appear in the region. The Archipelago of San Blas and the more than 365 islands that compose it is known to be the best and very last untouched Caribbean sailing destination. We mentioned in other posts how Panama has no recorded hurricanes and no major storms like for example the windward islands, including the BVIs, USVIs, Bahamas, St Maarten, Antigua and Barbuda, etc. This point might seem irrelevant, but it is not. Hurricanes are something very serious that can wipe out entire fleets like it die some years ago in the BVIs As said , luckily, San Blas and the whole Panama is not in the way of such destruction. Adverse climatological episodes in San Blas, although not common, can happen. Tropical storms or the famous local "chocosana" or "culopollo" are local storms that can occur from May to October, originate in Colombia and run through the whole San Blas to later continue up to Costa Rica . This phenomenon brings rain, thunder and wind to the San Blas region and can last up to 45 minutes. This adversity is taken into consideration not only for deciding which anthorages are the right ones but also for inbound and outbound flights as well as road and water taxi transfers. Best time to visit San Blas depends on your interests. High season December - April brings more sailboats and tourists to the region, not that it gets very busy though, whereas May to November tends to be much quieter and laid back. High season - Low season charter conditions are somewhat similar Rain is basically a rare episode during the high season. Adverse climatological circumstances in the busiest months are something very are limited to higher winds than usual that can be forecasted and taking into consideration when designing the corresponding catamaran charter itinerary. During the central months of the year, we might see sporadic rain showers that tend to last up to an hour. Tropical weather in Panama translates to humidity and heat which is a match to take into consideration. When booking your catamaran during summer or if someone in your group is sensitive to the heat, no matter the season. it is is highly advisable to choose one with air conditioning like the Salina 48. You might not need the A/C during the day, but at night and while sleeping it’s a different story and a good night sleep puts you in the right mood. Turquoise waters perfect for snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking and inviting locals are the norm in San Blas throughout the year. Abundant marine life is also persistent throughout the year and a delight to observe while on your catamaran cruise. San Blas is an inviting travel destination that with plane transfers is an easy reach from Panama CIty and offers a complete change of scenery if approached the right way. An enriching and life changing experience that can bring new perspective and understanding. San Blas Islands Sailing Charters.
