Any #yacht featured in the superb pre-Second World War series of ‘Uffa Fox books’ is without question a special one, and DRIAC may be best known these days from her inclusion in Fox’s ‘Sailing, Seamanship and Yacht Construction’ (1934). From a time when the design of the ideal offshore #sailing #cruiser was still evolving and much discussed, Uffa waxed lyrical about this characterful Charles E. Nicholson design which had comfortably reeled off well over 5000 miles in her first two seasons, including Portsmouth to Malta and back, under the command of her redoubtable first owner, A.G.H. Macpherson. DRIAC is still taking people on sailing adventures and, as she has always done, entrances with her looks, presence, and no-nonsense sailing ability. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/608/DRIAC

Azzurra’s 1983 debut turned Italian sailing into a national passion. Backed by icons like Agnelli and the Aga Khan, it laid the foundation for today’s Italian America's Cup campaigns—culminating in Naples hosting the 38th edition. The Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup will be defended in Naples, Italy by five-time America's Cup winner, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron represented by their team, Emirates Team New Zealand; and the British team led by Sir Ben Ainslie, Athena Racing, as the official Challenger of Record.

The struggle is real! Searching for an in-boom furling system for a Lagoon 400 feels impossible. Radio silence from potential suppliers. Is there a solution? #Lagoon400 #Sailing #FurlingSystem #BoatMaintenance
