Built in 1921, Florette is the last active, originally built brigantine in the Mediterranean and one of the last wooden windjammers that are still actively sailing. Join Florette for an Italian sailing holiday to explore the UNESCO heritage site of the Aeolian islands. From the active volcano of Stromboli to the typical Italian island of Lipari, experience the very best of this archipelago from the water. An unforgettable and versatile sailing holiday in Italy with daily trips ashore, offering a pleasant contrast to the social life on board. Experience the fiery Stromboli, the most active volcano in Europe on an adventurous night-time hike. Climb Vulcano slumbering in sulphur fumes and enjoy a healing bath in the sulphur mud afterwards before dipping into the bubbling sea. Or go hiking on the Salina island, known for its capers and sweet wine. Swim, snorkel and kayak in secluded bays with crystal-clear water and dark beaches made of fine, black lava sand. Florette and her crew always try to combine traditional classic sailing while immersing guests in the natural landscapes ashore; volcanoes, ancient culture and the specialities of the regional Italian cuisine. Whilst on board this historic brigantine guests can get involved with traditional sailing. With an original rig, it is certainly an all-hands on deck approach – which is surely part of the magic to this adventure sailing holiday! https://venturesailholidays.com/ship/florette/

We’re approaching the Bab el‑Mandeb Strait—one of the most notorious chokepoints in the world and a place sailors don’t take lightly. But just as we prepare to pass through, I’m suddenly below deck battling in the engine room. Instead of calmly approaching the strait, we’re trying to keep the boat running. And as night falls, we learn there is a warship operating in the area that’s aware of our position. Just another day sailing one of the most intense stretches of our voyage. Full episode now on Bums on a Boat. #babemandeb #redsea #sailingadventure #sailinglife #sailingvoyage #lifeatsea #engineproblems #offshoresailing #oceanadventure #circumnavigation #bumsonaboat #sailboatlife #adventureatsea #maritime #shorts

Outboard joystick docking systems can be immensely helpful when it comes to squeezing a boat into a tight slip at the end of a long day (especially if wind and current are pitted against you), but not many boaters have actually seen the system in action. Senior editor Lenny Rudow took few minutes to film this quick video showing how two Mercury Joystick Control-enabled outboards get the job done in quick fashion. As you watch, keep in mind that the boat operator isn't adjusting throttles or turning a steering wheel--it's all being done through easy joystick inputs at the helm. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/05/mercury-optimus-360-joystick-control-system-video/ For more boating videos, visit http://www.boats.com. boats.com features boat reviews, how-to videos, special features, and information about new boats, boats for sale, and boating products—usually with a dash of fun.
