*Please Note : This video was shot towards the end of production so not everything shown in the video has been finished to Columbia Yachts usual high standard. "We're in the cockpit of the Columbia Carbon 32. This boat has a fractional rig with Asymetrical spinnakers. This particular boat, boat #1, has a retractable carbon bowsprit. All the boats after this will have a fixed carbon bowsprit. The boat carries small headsails and big mains. The jibs are 108%, not a large headsail. The boat will have a full 108% jib and then a very flat 105% jib."

Prendi un velista oceanico, uno che fa le regate sui Mini, sui Class 40 o 9.50, uno che è abituato a giocarsela ad armi pari in mezzo alle onde contro barche similissime se non uguali alla sua. Prendilo, e infilalo in una regata dove le classifiche vengono stilate con il calcolo dei tempi compensati. Lo farai impazzire. Si tratta proprio di una vela diversa: guardate un po' il video che mostra la "confusione" di Michele Zambelli e Luca Tosi, navigati marinai oceanici che hanno deciso di partecipare in doppio alla Rolex Middle Sea Race (608 miglia partendo e arrivando a La Valletta (Malta) dopo aver circumnavigato in senso antiorario la Sicilia passando per le Isole Eolie, le Egadi, Pantelleria e Lampedusa) sul Class 9.50 Illumia12 di Zambelli. "MA COME DIAVOLO SIAMO MESSI?" Una volta che i due si avvicinano a Lampedusa, riescono a connettersi a internet e visualizzano sul sito della Middle Sea le posizioni e i compensi, non capiscono chi sia davanti e chi sia dietro. La prendono sul ridere con la loro usuale simpatia, e comunque, per la cronaca, pur essendo arrivati secondi in reale mea loro categoria, dietro a un Solaris 42, hanno chiuso al quarto posto nella IRC x2. Un Class 9.50, in termini di compensi, paga tantissimo. Il commento di un loro follower su Facebook riassume tutto al meglio: "Benvenuti nel frustrante mondo delle barche oceaniche infilate a forza nell'IRC".

Harking from a seminal period in Sparkman & Stephens design history following their 12-Metre INTREPID's America's Cup success - when S&S led the way in split-keel-and-rudder racers and cruiser-racers - ROSE WILDER has the added good fortune of build by one of the finest of Italian yards, Cantiere Sangermani. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/710/ROSE%20WILDER%20(ex%20SANDPIPER) Their artistic attention to detail and quality is evident throughout. As SANDPIPER in long initial ownership by Santa Barbara Yacht Club's Dean Brown, she was a well known and successful participant in some of the classic West Coast USA offshore races. Subsequently she has cruised the Pacific seaboard in the hands of only two owners who, not surprisingly, fell in love with this very attractive, responsive and sure-footed yacht. Modern sail handling systems allow her to be easily sailed single or short handed while bow and stern thrusters allow neat berthing feats. Although very much in commission, ROSE WILDER does require attention to elements of her structure commensurate with her age - reflected in a very reasonable asking price for a very striking 50-footer with superb provenance.
