Last week Slava and I visited Riga in Latvia to film Latitude Yachts amazing catamaran “LANIAKEA”. These guys really know what they are doing, having also successfully completed two very cool but very unusual 53m trimarans called “Galaxy” and “Galaxy of Happiness”…maybe you’ve seen them! It was a great opportunity to outline the process for constructing such an ambitious project!

The construction of the brand new SW108#01 HYBRID is in full swing, with the hull’s bottom infusion process completed. This lamination technique uses vacuum pressure to suck resin through a dry laminate made up of layers of composite cloths. We introduced carbon fiber in the construction of maxi yachts in 2000. In 2004, upon having fine-tuned the infusion technique on flat panels and on structural elements, we began infusing hulls and decks, becoming the pioneer in mastering this composite construction process. The results are light yet sturdy, reliable yachts built to sail in every sea!

Der Regen ließ im Tagesverlauf nach, die Sonne kam zum Abend heraus und auch der Wind war so stark, wie lange nicht mehr bei der Mittwochsregatta. Das Feld schob sich dicht zusammen und auf dem 2. Raumwindkurs gaben die Segelyachten unter Spinaker, Genaker oder Code Zero ihr bestes, um nicht aus dem Ruder zu laufen. Bei noch 2 verbleibenden Wettfahrten sieht es für die hier abgebildete J-88 Nemo mit dem 3. Platz in der Tageswertung recht gut im Kampf um den Gesamtsieg der diesjährigen Rennserie aus. Ggf. ist es aufgrund möglicher Streicher schon entschieden, wer das genau wissen möchte, muss sich die Gesamtergebnisliste bei https://www.wscev.de/MitReg/2023 oder bei manage2sail ansehen und mal den Taschenrechner bemühen. Ein knappes Fotofinish mit dem 2. Platz in der Tageswertung für J-97 Monk (hier nicht im Bild) bedeutet das vorläufig beste Saisonresultat. Und natürlich Glückwunsch dem Tagessieger SY ASPASIA.
