🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [13/52] 🪢 These are the apps we use to make our anchor life a little bit smoother and get a little piece of mind at night! Do you use these too or do you have other favorites that should be added to the list, let us know in the comments! 🗺️ Navionics The app which we use for navigation. When it’s time to anchor, we use it to find a good spot and as we drop the anchor the one at the helm pushes the pin button creating a marker for the anchor location. ⚓️ Anchor Pro An app which works as an anchor alarm. We use the position from the Navionics marker and type it into the Anchor Pro app. There is an error margin as we get the position at the helm and the anchor is at the bow, but it works well enough! We then put in an allowed radius depending on the amount of chain and general surroundings. The app sounds an alarm if we go outside that radius. It’s not necessary to have the Pro version, but it allows for the app to send notifications to other units if the alarm goes off. 💬 Telegram It’s an app for chats and communication. For us, we use it to communicate with the Anchor Pro app. As long as we have internet onboard we can send a message in the Telegram app to the unit running the Anchor Pro and we get an instant reply with anchor distance and bearing. We also get instant notifications if there is an alarm. 📍Marine Traffic It’s an app for watching world wide AIS targets. As long as we leave the AIS running (and we are not in a too remote place) then we can watch our boat's position on here. If sh*t were to go really bad and Linnea would for some reason leave the anchorage without us, we could in theory track and find our boat this way. Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friends who needs to see this 🫶🏼

► Full test in Multihulls World N°197. ► Two years: that’s how long it’s taken to complete the Lagoon 60 project from A to Z - the replacement for the emblematic 630, that has seen unrivalled success in this size of catamaran (169 sailing models and another 58 examples of the 630 MY, the power version!). Seeking to ride a powerful wave of events motivated by the celebration of the shipyard’s 40th anniversary, Lagoon organized a world premiere event at home, at one of the Bordeaux yard’s platforms, where all models over 50 feet are built. The waterfront event was intended to be festive and even celebratory, with the presence of former international basketball player Boris Diaw, the brand’s ambassador. Lagoon also took the opportunity to showcase their full range of 40 to 77-foot yachts, both afloat and ashore. In terms of outline, the new 60-foot model, as ever signed by VPLP, presents a silhouette relatively similar to that of the 55, except that the sail plan uses the overlapping genoa of the latest 51. The main innovation on deck concerns the aft cockpit, literally transformed into a beach club by eliminating the traditional bench seat. This enormous surface area is further enlarged by an aft platform and fold-down bulwarks. As for relaxation space, the forward cockpit and huge flybridge, equipped with a full galley, are not to be outdone. For the interior, the designers have managed to ensure totally flush circulation from one cockpit to the other, including of course the nacelle - a floor without steps, and that changes everything! We've already booked our sea trial of the Lagoon 60, which will be undertaken off Palma de Mallorca in June - stay tuned! ► Builder: Lagoon Architect: VPLP Design Exterior design: Patrick le Quément Interior design: Nauta Design Length overall: 59’11” (18.27 m) Beam: 32’5” (9.87 m) Draft: 5’5” (1.65 m) Air draft: 98’ (30 m) Light displacement (CE): 70,560 lbs (32 t) Upwind sail area: 2,571 sq ft (239 m²) Mainsail: 1,603 sq ft (149 m²) Genoa: 968 sq ft (90 m²) Motors: 2 x 150 HP Fuel: 343 US gal (1,300 l) Water: 254 US gal (960 l) Berths: 8 to 14 CE Category: A: 14 / B: 14 / C: 20 / D: 20 www.catamarans-lagoon.com ► 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!
