Gunboats are built to move. Here's a quick look at the range including the new addition - a Gran Turismo catamaran. ▫️ "Sail Fast. Live Fully". That's the new mantra at Gunboat where they are developing a new line of luxury performance yachts: the Fusion 80. She's designed so performance and comfort do not compete but rather reinforce each other. ▫️ How Have They Achieved That? ▫️ The Fusion 80 has been engineered to outperform its volume class by ~30%. They have achieved this through: - High-aspect appendages. A stiff, lightweight composite platform - Optimised hydrodynamics by VPLP Low friction, efficient hull forms - A large, balanced sail plan (310m2 upwind) Less weight (25T) = more wind unlocked ▫️ The Fusion 80 sails in 6-8 knots of breeze where heavy cruisers motor. ▫️ Longer sailing windows, quieter passages, less motoring. ▫️ We're looking forward to seeing this one on the water! ▫️ #luxury #yacht #gunboat72 #gunboat68 @GUNBOATCATAMARANS
You have probably noticed that I am sharing my first videos about how I prepared myself and my boat for my circumnavigation. These videos were originally in Dutch, and I am now creating new versions with more explanation and an English voice-over to take you with me on my preparation journey. In May, after cyclone season, I’ll be sailing on toward South Africa and sharing new videos from sea again. Thank you for following along and being part of this journey. If you’re curious about preparing for a circumnavigation — mentally or practically — ask me anything in the comments. I’d love to connect.
Veli Rat is a protected landscape area on the island of Dugi Otok, best known for its impressive lighthouse. Built in 1849, the lighthouse rises about 42 meters high and is considered the tallest on the Adriatic coast. Its distinctive yellow exterior is surrounded by a local legend claiming that thousands of egg yolks were used in the construction of the facade mixture. Within the lighthouse grounds you’ll also find a small chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas, which has become an increasingly popular spot for intimate and romantic weddings.
