Imagine sailing into a port where history whispers from every stone... Welcome to Angra do Heroismo marina, Terceira Island, where centuries of maritime tales meet modern comfort. Since the 15th century, these waters have welcomed adventurers crossing the Atlantic. Today, 260 berths nestle beneath UNESCO-protected walls, where ancient fortresses guard your vessel. But this isn't just another marina - it's a gateway to an underwater museum. Just meters from your berth, a graveyard of anchors and a 19th-century shipwreck tell stories of seafarers' past. Step ashore into cobblestone streets where Renaissance palaces and convents paint a picture of Portugal's golden age. Let the aroma of fresh food guide you to local restaurants, or climb Monte Brasil for views that will take your breath away. Whether crossing oceans or seeking shelter in paradise, Marina d'Angra offers more than a berth - a journey through time. Ready to uncover more secrets of this historic haven? Set your course to seatv.world and join us in exploring one of the Atlantic's most storied ports đđŧ https://seatv.world/location/azores-portugal/docking/terceira Until next time, may your wanderlust lead you to extraordinary harbours. #shorts #sailing #sailingchannel
PEGGY BAWN is a rare thing indeed. The number of surviving vessels from pioneering Clydeside yacht designer George Lennox Watsonâs lifetime (1851-1904) can be counted on a careless carpenterâs fingers. Long gone are his huge Americaâs Cup challengers and âBig Classâ racing yachts, and only two of the fleet of palatial steam yachts â the superyachts of their day â from his Glasgow drawing boards are known to survive, in fabulous condition although barely recognisable from their original appearance. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/302/PEGGY%20BAWN It is left to PEGGY BAWN to carry the flame for Watsonâs groundbreaking mid-1890s work in setting the standard for moderation in sailing yacht design, work that has never been challenged â only endorsed by those who followed his lead through the 20th century, especially Olin J. Stephens, who was a self-confessed Watson fan. PEGGY BAWNâs gilded âfiddleâ bow was anachronistic even at her launching in 1894, partly a past fad, partly practical, undoubtedly beautiful â an interim stage in the development of extending immersed waterlines for faster sailing when heeled with a more buoyant hull â but it conceals the fact that when her award-winning restoration team began assessing what theyâd found in a County Waterford hay barn in 2003, they quickly realised that the ânumbersâ â yacht designer speak for the various ratios that define a hull â were simply a scaled-down version of those for Watsonâs famous royal racing cutter Britannia of 1893. Her name gave rise to the so called âBritannia Idealâ, as she was and is considered the epitome of sea kindliness. PEGGY BAWN's present owner can vouch for that from fourteen seasons of racing and cruising aboard her in northern and Mediterranean Europe, and east coast USA. PEGGY BAWN is quite simply the best behaved yacht any of them had had the pleasure to sail. And her rebuild and restoration set new standards for documentation and authenticity. She's special. #classicboat #sailboat #shortsfeed #sailing
