Una limpida giornata d'Agosto con rotta verso le secche della Meloria con vista sull'isola di Gorgona, ma il video non rende bene, la giornata era talmente limpida da intravedere sia la Corsica che l'isola di Capraia. video realizzato in mattinata con assenza di vento (patana), al contrario nel pomeriggio i veleggianti che non avevano mai toccato il timone si sono divertiti a far letteralmente volare la barca sull'acqua grazie ad un vento fino a 16 nodi.

Those who restore classic yachts help maintain sailing history – from wooden schooners and meter boats to one-designs. Now, a more modern classic has been restored. George Radley Jr. of Cobh, Ireland, has owned the Ron Holland-designed IMP since the ’90s and has just done a major restoration of this famous 1970s IOR winner. Over the decades, the boat has kept her distinctive look with her topsides painted in a rainbow horizontal green bands going from light green to dark green at the waterline. Originally built for San Francisco sailor David Allen in 1977, the boat was a radical design that turned out to be a breakthrough on the IOR scene. Here is a video of IMP sailing off Cork, Ireland, with her new set of UK Sailmakers X-Drive carbon sails.

New Leopard 50 Owner's Review now up at 'kats.co/50L'! Or head to our profile for the link. ▫️ Thanks to Sailing Dracarys for helping out. This is a good 'un with lots of useful insights on this boat or any cruising catamaran for that matter. ▫️ Here are some excerpts: ▫️ Kats: Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your boat, Dracarys? SD: Dracarys is my first sailboat, and to date, I’ve taken her 14,000nm, including multiple trips between the Gulf side of Florida and the Chesapeake Bay, Mexico, and the Exumas. I ordered her after gaining a grand total of about three weeks of sailing experience – one week of ASA classes and two charters in the BVI. The largest boat I’d owned previously was a 23-foot wakeboarding boat. ▫️ Kats:What’s she like in heavy weather / a blow / big seas? SD: The most severe weather I’ve experienced so far was a on a sail from Key West to Sarasota – about 30 hours. There was a small craft advisory issued; winds and waves were at about 50-60 degrees off the nose at around 30kts and nine feet, respectively. . To me, she felt like a bulldozer running through marshmallow fluff. I don’t have the experience to know if that’s normal, but I was very pleased! There was minimal creaking and banging. Overall, the boat gave me the impression that she didn’t even notice the conditions. ▫️ Kats: What type of anchor/weight/chain length did you go for? SD: I chose a Rocna 40kg (88lb) anchor – I think it’s the largest/heaviest anchor that fits without modifications to the anchor roller/mount area. For chain, I went with 240 feet of Maggi 10mm. Why a random number like 240 feet? Because that’s what was available. ▫️ Kats: How was the buying process with Leopard or their dealer? SD: The buying process was uncomplicated and, for the most part, smooth. There’s an options changes “lock out” date that wasn’t communicated to me up front, so that created a tiny amount of stress, but all ended well. No question that I’d buy again. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #multihulls #leopardcatamarans #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #multihull #catamaran #sailinginstagram #multihullsailing #sailboat #katamarans #sailingcatamarans @leopardcatamarans #leopard50
