While sailing in the British Virgin Islands, we doubled our speed over ground by switching out our headsail (from jib to gennaker). Crew morale was high! 😍⛵️ #sailing #sailingaroundtheworld #catamaran #liveaboard #caribbean #britishvirginislands #sailingvideo #sailingcouple #lagooncatamaran
The Double Sheet Bend is one of if not the best way to join to ropes of different diameter. You can learn how to tie a double sheet bend in less than two minutes. Here at Bottom Up Boat we prefer the Double Sheet Bend over the Single Sheet bend, the two loops around the bight give it key advantages over the single sheet bend. The two loops make the knot more secure before the knot has been put under load and easier to untie as the double loops cause the knot to tighten on the bight rather than the loop wedging itself at the top of the bend. The Bottom up Boats team recommend that you learn the single sheet bend, https://youtu.be/vKvJ3aKu43A , but always use the Double Sheet Bend as it is far superior. If the shorts version was to quick for you and you want a more detailed demo of how to tie the double sheet bend you can watch the full form version on the bottom up boats main channel. https://youtu.be/mQU20P-Idns If you like the Double Sheet Bend video you should click on the link below to watch out Know Knots playlist which has variety of knots that every sailor should know. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMoCfFBA9IMUcOoZy5QT-o66DM8uHukkH Thanks for watching our YouTube Shorts video where we teach you how to tie the double sheet bend video and for reading on to learn more, if you learnt something along the way don't forget to subscribe getting the Bell on to ensure you are notified as soon we release our new content.
This video is about New Jeanneau 440 Sun Odyssey Sailboat Preview By: Ian Van Tuyl Jeanneau 440 The Jeanneau team in conjunction with Phillippe Briand have been busy totally renewing the Sun Odyssey line ready for the 2018 season and beyond. The first of this new range will be the Sun Odyssey 440, a completely new design which is packed with innovative ideas and features, sharing several key attributes of the larger Jeanneau Yacht range. She has a wide bodied hull with large rectangular black hull ports on each side, set above a distinctive hard chine that reaches all the way from the stern almost to the bow, which is fitted as standard with a bowsprit. All versions also feature twin rudders. The rig is stayed fully outboard and has a particularly low gooseneck height that will make tending classic mainsails much easier and safer. However, it is not until you step aboard that the real innovations become fully apparent. The cockpit is cunningly and uniquely designed to place the twin wheels and primary winches slightly inboard, thus allowing a safe walkway outboard of the wheels around to the sidedecks effectively inside a high bulwark that is elegant, safe and reassuring. Crew and guests can therefore move between the cockpit to go forward without any undignified scrambling across cockpit seats, cushions and occupants. The cockpit also holds more surprises as in "relaxation mode" at anchor, the cockpit seat backs can cantilever to create two huge flat lounging areas, perfect for sleeping under the stars... and if heading for the beach, there are even removable cockpit fridge and bbq units. The interior is simply cavernous for a 44 footer, with modern "loft" apartment styling, a gently raked companionway plus cabins with wide doorways without threshold steps or headroom restriction maximizing ease of movement all well illuminated by the abundance of light coming from the hull and deck windows and hatches. The galley is proudly displayed at the heart of the accommodation, also with new innovative ideas including a pop-up microwave that keeps work surfaces free and tidy when not in use. Sailing performance, as to be expected from a Briand design, is said to be very good, which is not surprising with the generous rig, chines and twin rudder configuration. Much more information on the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 will shortly be available on the Jeanneau website and through the Jeanneau dealer network.
