Adrenaline charged moments as Turn the Tide on Plastic passes inches from spectator boats just behind Hun Hung Kai / Scallywag less than two minutes after start. Turn the Tide on Plastic, one of seven teams in this edition of the Volvo Ocean Race, set sail from Alicante today for the start of the epic 45,000 nautical mile round-the-world race. After months of preparation, British skipper Dee Caffari lead her young crew out of Alicante, Spain on the beginning of what will undoubtedly be one of the biggest adventures of their lives. The start, consisting of a short in-shore circuit before heading offshore to Lisbon, was certainly no disappointment. Filled with action, drama and some of the most intense battles this race has seen at its start, this edition is showing all the signs that it could be the most exciting yet. Of course this is easily said when you’re flying out of Alicante bay in 16 knots of wind battling for third place against some of the best sailors in the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SailingNews TV is the N°1 yachting and sailing channel.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, every corner exudes sophistication. From the spacious decks that invite you to bask in the sun’s embrace to the sumptuous interior that envelopes you in comfort, every moment spent aboard is a true indulgence. Combining centuries of tradition with contemporary ship design, Nayara was designed by an American architect and built by the renowned Konjo boat builder from South Sulawesi. Her sleek hull is designed using locally sourced ironwood and teak for optimum performance and safety. Her stability and maneuverability make her Nayara equally suitable for cruising and traversing the Indonesian coast, capable of reaching remote islands both inside and outside Indonesia. To minimize Nayara’s environmental impact, the hull is shaped to optimize fuel efficiency at sea and the rigging is suitable for recreational sailing. Single-use plastic is prohibited in all suites and staterooms, and reef-safe customized sunscreen and bath her amenities are provided for your comfort. To offset the large amount of wood used in the traditional boat-building process, twice the number of trees used in construction was planted in partnership with OneTreePlanted in Borneo, where most of the ironwood was sourced.
