At Sirius, we build our yachts to last you many decades. With longevity comes maintenance and repairs. Our yachts are built with ease of ownership in mind, and this is why, if you need to remove a hidden deck fitting we’ve attached, there will be GRP packing around the nuts below the deck. Not only does this prevent any ingress of water around the fitting, it means that any bolt or machine screw can be removed and replaced on your own, and without having to remove any of the interior. Anyone who has unscrewed a bolt, and heard the tell-tale clatter of a nut falling off, will know the sinking realisation that a quick job has now become a long job. The headlining and possibly parts of the interior will need to be removed to access the bolt. We never want that to happen to you. There may be times when deck fittings need to be repaired or replaced. But on a Sirius, we’ve tried to make this as painless for you as possible. #WeAreSirius #SiriusWerft #Sirius #siriusyachts #Yacht #Yachting #Sailing #Sailboat #Decksaloon #decksalon #BluewaterCruiser #OffshoreCruiser #LiftingKeel #Twinkeel #BilgeKeel #Handbuilt #Sailingyacht #Sailingboat #BlueWaterSailing #GoAnywhereCruiser #Swingkeel #OceanSailing #Circumnavigation #DreamYacht #Segeln #SailingLife #SailingLifeStyle #LiveABoard #SailingInstagram #YachtingWorld

Sailing when the wind is almost imperceptible is no small feat at this scale. For boats of this size, offering this level of comfort, it is even a real signature. If Gunboats continue to glide where others start their engines, it is no coincidence. It is the result of a rigid structure, a finely balanced sail plan, and a hull design engineered to transform the slightest breeze into motion. A silent but very real performance. Thanks to sails designed specifically for each Gunboat. This is a major collaboration with our partners to harness the real engine that drives Gunboats forward: the wind.

Il momento dell’ingresso in porto e dell’ormeggio è sicuramente il più “temuto”, per la difficoltà di manovrare una barca a vela in spazi ristretti, soprattutto in presenza di vento. In questo corso, strutturato su un week end, verranno affrontate tutte le tematiche relative alle manovre a motore di ormeggio e disormeggio in banchina ed all’ancora, con i “trucchi” per risolvere le situazioni critiche e ampio spazio per domande e esperienze personali. L’obiettivo è di superare le insicurezze ed i timori, imparando e preparare, impostare ed eseguire correttamente le manovre, eseguendole in condizioni di sicurezza per l’equipaggio e l’imbarcazione, per potere vivere le proprie crociere e vacanze a vela in tutta tranquillità. Il corso si rivolge a tutti coloro che in possesso o meno della patente nautica, intendono fare pratica di ormeggi e ancoraggi per essere in grado di gestire in piena autonomia, sicurezza e tranquillità le manovre di entrata e di uscita dai porti o di effettuare un ancoraggio sicuro in rada anche con condizioni impegnative di vento o di mare. www.nordestvela.com
