Typically, our first Wrangel Island departure, 'Chukotka: Where Russia's Day Begins' includes a day at the annual Beringia Arctic Games and Chukotka Cultural Festival. This colourful event brings together and celebrates the indigenous communities of Siberia. Traditional song and dance performances grace the stage, whale-skin boat regattas are held, and artisans display carved bones, fur hats, beaded clothing and other hand-made art. Men compete in wrestling and weight lifting, and teams battle for a tug-of-war win.

Tuesday Tips: Mastering Jib Trim on a Catamaran ⛵️ Ready to perfect your jib trim? Think of the jib as the leading edge of an airplane wing—smooth and balanced for optimal performance. 🎯 Key tips: • Telltales should flow back on both sides of the sail, with no leech luffing. • Maintain twist from bottom to top, matching the main sail's shape. • Keep the slot (the space between the jib and main) just right to sustain attached airflow across the main sail for lift and speed. 🌊 Sail smarter, not harder—find the perfect balance! #TuesdayTips #SailTrim #CatamaranSailing #BalanceCatamarans #SailingTips
