The Crazy Waters Bridge in Chalkis sits at the narrowest point between Evia and the mainland, where the strait is only about 38 meters wide. Because so much water is forced through this tiny opening, extremely strong currents are created — the reason sailors call it the “Crazy Waters.” The bridge is in the middle of the city and opens only once a day to avoid disrupting the constant road traffic. Boats may only pass at slack tide, the brief moment every six hours when the water is calmest. That’s why sailors often go through at strange times like 1:30 or 3:00 a.m. While waiting, boats are not allowed to tie up along the quay because the turbulence is so strong that it would be dangerous. Instead, everyone must anchor in the bay and wait for instructions from Port Control. We anchored there with about fifteen other boats and waited until slack tide at night. At midnight, Port Control suddenly called all boats in order — we were number three. Passing the bridge in the dark was surreal: strong currents below, quiet city lights above. The bridge didn’t lift; it actually slid sideways into the quay walls, disappearing completely. Once through, we moored safely just 100 meters further in the city. Experiencing this natural phenomenon at night, in such a narrow and powerful channel, was something I will not quickly forget!

► While Sunreef now offers almost all its models in an Eco variant, it has to be said that multiyachts over 80 feet opting for a hybrid formula are few and far between. And yet here we are with the WiderCat 92, a futuristic powercat previewed at the Cannes Yachting Festival. On board, we were impressed by the natural lighting provided by imposing glazed surfaces on the sides of the nacelle. Another highlight of this huge multiyacht is its cockpit, which can be converted into a beach club using fold-down bulwarks. In the “enginerooms”, two 500 kW motors are powered by LiFePO4 batteries, guaranteeing a range of 27 miles at 6 knots. And there’s 1,615 square feet (150 m²) of solar panels to ensure energy self-sufficiency at anchor. The builder has just announced a new model, the WiderCat 76. ► Builder: Wider Yachts Architect: Wider Engineering Design: Luca Dini Design, Centro Stile Wider Length: 92’ (28.04 m) Beam: 39’4” (12 m) Draft: 4’11” (1.5 m) Displacement: 90 t Motors: 2 x 420 or 500 kW Batteries: 360 kWh Maximum speed: 15 knots Accommodation: 8 guests and 4 crew ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Wpisode 6 now up! Sailing Ibiza ⚓️⛵️ We anchored up in Cala Talamanca, Ibiza and hopped off the boat for a couple of days to visit several inland sites. This would be the first time we had left the boat unattended at anchor overnight, so we were a little nervous, but we had a good hold and had set the anchor alarm! As the previous owners had said to us “you need to learn to trust the anchor”… Day 1 - Evissa - Ibiza Old Town! 🏰 We hope that you will follow us on insta, Facebook and YouTube - SAILING CAT KAIA With: @vikaspiritualmentor @satkaratemple @byoceanandearth #sailing yacht #sailingstagram #sailingtrip #sailingaway #sailinglovers #sailinglife #sailingday #sailingboat #nightsail #sailing #sailingworld #sailingboats #sailingadventure #sailinglifestyle #sailinginstagram #sailaway #bylandandsea #travel #wanderlust #nature #adventure #boatlife #sailingday #lagoon440 #lagooncatamaran #pug #borderterrier #ibiza #spain #evissa

Die Dufour 44 kommt mit extrem viel Volumen… das mag optisch nicht jedem gefallen, aber es gibt enormen Platz auf 44 Fuß!
