La sveglia è con la pioggia. Sentiamo le gocce d’acqua picchiettare la coperta sopra le nostre teste. Sono le 6. È sabato. Ma chi ce lo fa fare di alzarci adesso! Ci giriamo dall’altra e ci svegliamo alle 9:30. Usciamo e ci prepariamo a tirare su l’ancora. Solitamente ci si mette 5 minuti. Questa volta ne sono serviti 45. Perché? Perché chissà cosa diavolo ha preso l’ancora.. Sono anni che ci prepariamo a questa situazione, sono anni che lanciamo il grippiale in mare proprio nel caso l’ancora dovesse impigliarsi. E cosi anche quel giorno è arrivato. Tiriamo su la cimetta legata all’ancora e in un secondo si libera. Che soddisfazione! Dopo un’oretta in totale ci mettiamo in marcia verso Sv. Ante (sull’isola di silba), che domani sembra essere in un cono felice di calma dal vento. Scopriremo presto se è stata una buona scelta o il meteo ci ha fatto uno scherzo. Questa sera ci mettiamo sul libro. Sta procedendo. Sta prendendo forma. Sta delineandosi ogni giorno di più. Non vediamo l’ora possa essere anche vostro. Ma ora buona notte, domani sarà una domenica di relax ☀️

CHAMPAGNE START FOR RORC TRANSATLANTIC RACE 🍾☀️ Sunday 9th January, Lanzarote: A flotilla of spectator boats and a huge crowd in Marina Lanzarote witnessed the start of the 2023 RORC Transatlantic Race. Supported by Calero Marinas, the International Maxi Association and the Yacht Club de France, the RORC Transatlantic Race started In glorious conditions, the fleet got away to a clean downwind start, a mile from Marina Lanzarote. The RORC fleet were in full view of spectators along the seafront of Arrecife, Lanzarote’s capital. As the boats rounded the turning mark outside Puerto Calero, well-wishes shouted encouragement from a pack of ribs and an armada of cruising boats. After passing under the volcanic mountains of the Los Ajaches National Park, the fleet raced through the narrow Strait of Bocaina which divides Lanzarote from Fuerteventura. The RORC fleet must leave Tenerife to port, before heading into the wide expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The next mark of the course is 3,000 miles away across the Atlantic. Glover Island is just a few miles from the finish outside Camper & Nicholsons Port Louis Marina in Grenada. #RORCTransatlanticRace #RORCracing 📸 RORC / Sibok Studio / Twelve Video Productions
The newest in the fleet, now in build and set to debut launch in 2016, the Contest 67CS marks the first steps in a fresh, long term collaboration with German design team judel/vrolijk & co, renowned for powerful yachts, both racing and cruising, offshore and ocean. That combined experience results in easily driven, sea kindly, handsome yachts, which neatly defines our new bluewater performance cruiser, the Contest 67CS. “We are delighted to start this ground breaking relationship with a design that offers owners maximum sailing pleasure and cruising comfort,” Rolf Vrolijk explains. “Performance is always a must for our designs and the Contest 67CS is no exception.” This way hull lines have been refreshed, newly optimised for moderate displacement cruising with sharper forward sections for enhanced upwind performance, combined with slightly wider, flatter aft sections for more stability and improved downwind characteristics, so assisting autopilot ocean passage. Weight is lower for boat speed and CoG and a new L-shaped keel contributes on all points.
