Ben, Tambi, and Molly are a family of 3 that sail the Bahamas aboard their Endeavour 32 sailboat. It hasn't always been that way though... far from it. Before they became sailors, they were living the traditional American life. 9-5 jobs, 2 nice cars, a hefty mortgage - and 1 out of every 52 weeks... there was a vacation. Things changed though, when Ben had the realization that every day felt exactly like the previous one. It was just like that movie "Groundhog Day"... Wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, go to sleep, repeat, repeat, repeat. Time to shake things up! The Clardy family always did enjoy their temporary getaways to the islands when they would go on cruises. They loved the tropical climate, the clear water, the white sand, the palm trees. They wanted more of THAT, but how? A sailboat, THAT’S how! It was that idea that spurred this family to break out of their rut and go on a grand adventure to tropical destinations over the horizon. Do they know anything about sailing? ...nope. Did they inherit a boat load of money? ...definitely not. Minor details, BECAUSE... So far they’ve sold everything, moved out of their house, purchased a 38 year old sailboat, toured 1000 miles of Intracoastal Waterway, and experienced an unforgettable 6 month sailing adventure through the islands of the Bahamas. So, what’s next for this intrepid trio? Whatever happens - the cameras will be rolling and their salty adventures will be recorded so that you can share the experience as their Story unfolds. Tune in and enjoy the adventure. :) Thanks for watching!!

Découvrez le système de réglage de grand-voile de l’OVNI 490 ! Un système à double écoute sur palan qui remplace le rail, pour un réglage 3D précis et une navigation plus sûre. Dans cette vidéo, Luc JURIEN, Directeur Général d'Alubat, vous présente le système de double écoute sur palan, monté sur point fixe, installé sur l’OVNI 490 et sur l’ensemble de la gamme OVNI pour le réglage de la grand-voile. Ce dispositif ingénieux permet de s’affranchir du rail de grand-voile tout en offrant un réglage 3D précis et efficace. ✅ Les points forts de ce système : + Un réglage fin et précis de la grand-voile + L'écoute sous le vent agit comme une retenue de bôme, améliorant la sécurité + Une fonction de hale-bas naturel tant que la bôme reste entre les deux points d’écoute + Au grand largue, le hale-bas classique reprend son rôle + Un système robuste, simple et sécurisant en navigation 👉 Dans cette vidéo, Luc vous explique en détail son fonctionnement et ses avantages, tant sur le plan de la performance que de la sécurité. N’hésitez pas à poser vos questions en commentaire et à partager vos retours d’expérience si vous naviguez déjà avec ce type de gréement. 👍 Abonnez-vous pour découvrir d’autres vidéos autour de la voile et des voiliers OVNI. - - - In this video, Luc JURIEN, CEO of Alubat, presents the double-ended mainsheet system with tackles, mounted on fixed points, fitted on the OVNI 490 and across the entire OVNI range. This clever setup eliminates the need for a mainsheet traveller while allowing for precise 3D trimming of the mainsail. ✅ Key advantages of this system: + Fine and accurate mainsail trimming + The leeward sheet serves as a preventer, enhancing safety + Acts as a natural boom vang as long as the boom remains between the two sheet points + When sailing downwind, the conventional boom vang takes over + A system that is robust, simple, and safe at sea 👉 In this video, Luc explains in detail how this system works and its advantages, both in terms of performance and safety. Feel free to leave your questions in the comments and share your feedback if you’re already sailing with this setup. 👍 Subscribe to discover more videos about sailing and OVNI yachts.

Giorno 73 - salutiamo i nostri amici. Questa settimana sono venuti a trovarci Elena e Max, due cari amici di Trento, che vivono a Viareggio e lavorano a bordo di una barca. Il programma era ben definito: Siviglia, Granada, Gibilterra e Vejer. Macchina presa, fotocamera carica, zainetto pronto. E invece. Contro ogni previsione Max si ammala. 38,2 di febbre. Da uomo, non posso che provare solidarietà. Oltre i 37,4 è durissima! Scherzi a parte, per fortuna di giorno in giorno è andata meglio, al punto che oggi sono tornati a casa quasi di nuovo in forze. Non avremo visto nè Siviglia nè Granada nè Vejer, ma le risate, le parole, i confronti e il “buon sangue”, come dicono i nonni, hanno reso questi giorni insieme ricchi di momenti sereni. Tutti e 4 andiamo per mare eppure questa è la prima volta che ci troviamo sulla stessa barca tutti insieme. Peccato fossimo ormeggiati e in fase di lavori, ma sicuramente ricombineremo in acque più limpide, a climi più miti e paesaggi più variegati del solo interno di Julia. Due ragazzi preziosi che fanno bene al cuore. Nella speranza di rivedersi presto e in movimento, come al solito sento un po’ di nostalgia. Ma ormai mi conoscete, i saluti sono il mio punto debole. E così, anche oggi, sono toccati i saluti. Ma finché lasciano un po’ di amaro in bocca, vanno bene così. Vuol dire che c’è la voglia di rivedersi e di riviversi. Alla prossima ragazzi! Vi vogliamo bene Andrea @maxgiordani @elena.rochel #saillife⛵️ #saillife #vivereinbarcaavela #vitainbarcaavela #diariodibordo
