Chocaremos con el puente???🙈😱 Navegamos bajo los PUENTES de Paradise Island en Bahamas 🇧🇸 que sirven como conexiones vitales entre Paradise Island y Nueva Providencia, incluyendo Nasáu, alcanzan los 21 metros sobre el nivel del mar en su punto más alto, son fijos y no tienen mecanismos de apertura! Como curiosidad 👀: permanecen accesibles incluso durante tormentas tropicales y huracanes. . . . #sail #sailing #sailing_lasonambula #velero #catamaran #sailboat #caribe #carib #navegaravela #navegarporelmundo #sailingaroundtheworld #barco #barcos #navega #travesia #islas #nassau #nassaubahamas🌴 #nassaubahamas #nassaucountyny #nassaucounty #paradiseisland #bahamas #bahamascruise #bahamascruise #crash #choque #puente #bridge

Thirty hours into the 74th edition of the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, the four 100-ft Maxis at the front of the fleet were separated by a mere five-nautical miles with a little under 200-nautical miles still to complete. A close contest between the race leaders has ensued ever since yesterday’s memorable Sydney Harbour start. Although the race record is unlikely to be challenged, an exciting finale down the Derwent River into Hobart is forecast. There had been four retirements and the majority of the 81-strong fleet were negotiating the Bass Strait. Rolex has been Title Sponsor of the 628-nm race, organised by the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia with the collaboration of the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania, since 2002.

The 350 LeisureCat Deepwater is a powerful workhorse ideal for all types of commercial charter fishing and diving, while still retaining the internal comforts of a liveaboard cruiser. Its huge and stable cockpit can be adapted to suit the needs of any water activities or patrol work. Powered by twin diesels, it is capable of over 30 knots in most conditions. A full-sized walk-in head/shower, complete with vanity, compliments the double front berth and full galley facilities. There is ample storage above and below decks and the moulded dash area will take 2 x 12in screens if needed. Twin large storage wells are set into the forward deck either side of the electric anchor well. For further information check out our website at www.leisurecat.com.au or email us at sales@leisurecat.com.au

Catamarans are the perfect boats to dry out on a beach, or, as many do in tidal areas (including ourselves), use a half tide drying mooring. If the boat has daggerboards then sensibly the rudders should lift to avoid damage, especially if the tide/wind causes waves when refloating. I have used the method seen in this video for 40 years. Very simple and works easily. Please note that this boat is over 30 years old, and I had never tried to lift the rudders with one hand before! Hence the initial hesitation. They would lift more easily if the shafts were greased. A simple snap hook holds the rudder up. Some people use "dinghy style" lifting rudders but that means the blades stick out behind the boat, which has often led to breakages when in a crowded anchorage and unsuspecting dinghies pass in the night. This rudder system works exactly like a conventional semi-balanced rudder when it in the down position. And has the advantage that the whole rudder can be taken off the boat by simply undoing one bolt. And no shaft leaks either! The thin ropes led through blocks to a cleat on the tiller are connected to the outboard. So the engine turns with the rudders, significantly increasing manouverability! I write more about steering systems on my website, see here https://www.sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/19-faqs/sailing-and-performance-questions/109-which-steering-system-should-i-use
