THIS IS AMAZING NEWS!!! The Marine Biologists at Manta Trust confirmed that what we saw today was NOT manta rays, but their close cousins — Mobula tarapacana. Even more incredible: this was the first recorded mating train of this species in French Polynesia, and only the 5th ever documented worldwide! These mobula are seen in the Tuamotus, but in the open ocean. The first two mobulas were females and the second one was pregnant, followed by two males actively chasing them — behavior very similar to manta mating. A rare and thrilling encounter we’ll never forget!
The self-tailing winch…..what more can be said or achieved with a device that has been with us for over 50 years…well according to Ronstan we’ve been missing a trick for decades. Because their new Orbit Winch is not only a very clever piece of innovative thinking, but could change the way we handle our sails.
