Facing adversity became a reality for Tyler Turner long before 2020 rolled around. Ty lost both his feet in a skydiving accident 3 years ago. Since then he’s become a pro at living “a new normal.” His injuries altered the course of his life dramatically, taking away many of his choices, while simultaneously opening up incredible opportunities. This year alone Ty competed in the ISA World Para Surf championship; he joined the NextGen Canadian Para Snowboard team and is trying to qualify for the next Olympics (whenever they may be…); he bought a live-aboard sailboat with his girlfriend, Kayleen, and started a YouTube channel about it; and with the support of High Fives Foundation and Project Uprising he became the first bilateral amputee to fly a wingsuit. If you ask Ty, he’ll tell you that he spends a lot of time on the couch in pain and that he isn’t trying to inspire anyone. He’s just doing what he’s always done: trying to enjoy life, pushing boundaries, and seeing what’s possible. What unites skiers and snowboarders, including guys like Ty, is a spirit of perseverance and adaptability. These sports are a constant practice of balancing risk and joy within shifting conditions, and ultimately picking the best route. Some days we ride huge lines of deep powder, other times the mountains tell us to stay home and to wait for a better day. All the while the goal is never adjusted: feel alive and have fun with the people you love! We are stoked to support Ty's journey.

Wir wollten testen um wie viel schneller der Kat fährt, wenn wir zu unseren 2x6Kw e Motore noch den 30 PS Diesel Notmotor dazu schalten. Das Ergebnis war ernüchternd, nur mit e schaffen wir max 7KN mit dem zusätzlichen Diesel 7,6KN. Vmax nur mit Diesel 6KN. Nur mit e Motore reichen uns 2x3,2KW um 6KN zu erreichen. Da sieht man wie schlecht der Wirkungsgrad von Innenborder Diesel zu e Aussenborder ist. Diesel 21,3KW zu 6,4KW e-Motor bei 6KN Geschwindigkeit.

Set Sail for Paradise: Exploring Rab Island, Croatia Croatia's Adriatic coast is a sailor's playground, and Rab Island shines brightly within it. Imagine this: crystal-clear waters lapping against your sailboat, the scent of pine clinging to the air, and charming medieval towns waiting to be explored. That's Rab in a nutshell. This island, often called the "Happy Island," offers more than just stunning scenery. So, raise the anchor and get ready for an unforgettable sailing adventure on Rab. Island Bliss: Unveiling Rab's Gems Medieval Marvels: Rab Town, the island's crown jewel, boasts a maze of narrow streets lined with Venetian-influenced buildings. Four iconic church towers pierce the skyline, remnants of a rich history. Wander through the town walls, peek into art galleries, and soak up the atmosphere. Beach Bonanza: Rab caters to every beach bum. Sunbathe on the expansive sands of Paradise Beach in Lopar, or discover hidden coves along the island's rugged coastline. For something unique, visit the naturist beach at Sahara, one of the first in Europe. Natural Delights: Venture inland to discover Rab's wild side. Hike the Kamenjak peninsula for panoramic views, or explore the Dundo Forest, a fragrant haven of Aleppo pines. Keep an eye out for rare birds and butterflies fluttering through the lush greenery. Sailing Sensations The beauty of Rab truly unfolds from the water. Navigate the calm channels between the island and mainland, or set sail for nearby islets like Maun and Sveta Grgur. These secluded spots offer pristine beaches and a chance to commune with nature. Here are some sailing tips for Rab: Favorable Winds: The island enjoys reliable winds, perfect for experienced sailors and novices alike. Charter Options: Numerous charter companies operate in Rab, offering everything from bareboat rentals to skippered tours. Hidden Gems: Local captains can guide you to secret coves and secluded bays inaccessible by land. Beyond the Boat: Exploring Rab's Delights Foodie Paradise: Indulge in fresh seafood stews ("brodet") and local delicacies like "rapska torta," a sweet cake made with almonds and figs. Wash it all down with a glass of the island's renowned grape brandy, "rakija." Festival Fun: Immerse yourself in Rab's vibrant culture. Join the Rab Fair in July, a medieval spectacle with costumed characters and traditional music. For something livelier, the Rab "Fjere" festival in August features street performers and open-air concerts. Rab Island is a treasure waiting to be discovered, and there's no better way to experience it than from the deck of a sailboat. So, set sail for Croatia's Happy Island and create memories that will last a lifetime.
