Power catamarans have twin engines. That makes them much safer than a conventional single engined powerboat. It also makes them very manouverable. Here I am turning our Skoota 28 in circles without using the steering wheel. You can see the engines are in line, turning is achieved by putting one engine in reverse, the other in forward gear I'm not very good at it yet! In part because the engine thrust in forward is much greater than in reverse, (because the exhaust goes through the propeller), so the throttle in forward needs a delicate touch You can build your own Skoota 28 in plywood from plans by Woods Designs, see more at www.sailingcatamarans.com

“…the urgent issues we must act on immediately are, first, mining, and second, (plastic) waste. These are not distant problems - they are right in front of us..." -BLUD UPTD Management Unit for the Marine Conservation Area (KKP) of Raja Ampat Islands, during an online public meeting. The impact is real. Raja Ampat is in danger. Plastic waste is already choking its crystal-clear waters and now, mining threatens to scar the very landscapes we call paradise. ➡️ Coral reefs which some of the richest on Earth are struggling. ➡️ Marine life is at risk. ➡️ The Last Paradise might not stay untouched for long... But it’s not too late. Let’s support sustainable travel and protect what makes Raja Ampat magical. Let’s keep it wild. Let’s keep it untouched. #KeepRajaAmpatUntouched #LiveaboardIndonesia #RajaAmpat #TheLastParadise #SaveRajaAmpat #SustainableTravel #PlasticPollution #RajaAmpatLiveaboard

Just wrapped up the IAFOR Aging and Gerontology Conference in Tokyo. 865 delegates from 65 countries, bringing together perspectives that are international, intercultural, and interdisciplinary. A few days of plenaries, panels, and parallel sessions— and above all, a genuine exchange of ideas. A powerful reminder of the breadth and depth of research on aging, and the importance of learning from one another. More reflections to come. — Lowell Lowell Sheppard is a sailor, author, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, sharing insights on longevity, community, and life in Japan through the Pacific Solo channel and Never Too Late Academy. #iafor #Tokyo #Aging #Gerontology #Longevity #AcademicConference #GlobalResearch #HealthyAging #NeverTooLate #PacificSolo #Education #Leadership
