We are booking a cruise tonight! we will be going back on board P&O Iona - we had a great time on the shakedown, however the ship is so huge there is loads left to explore! More details to follow in future videos 😊 by the way,you can keep up to date with our latest news as well as photos from our adventures on our Instagram account - just search for MarinaAndJoeGoCruising 😊 #shorts

Let’s dance to warm up 😉 Pierre shows his moves on the banks of the Qu'Appelle River in Saskatchewan. The Qu’Appelle River crisscrosses southern Saskatchewan. It takes it source at the Qu'Appelle Dam on Lake Diefenbaker and flows into the Assiniboine River in Manitoba. It is very curvy. To give you an idea of conversion, 50 km of river was often only the equivalent of 30 km as the crow flies. Although this river is bordered mainly cattle farms, there is a great diversity of wildlife and birds. In addition, the Qu'Appelle River is part of the Great Trail, the Trans Canada Trail for a total distance of 166.73 km from Lumsden to Katepwa Beach. --- Une petite danse pour se réchauffer 😉 Pierre s’exécute sur les abords de la rivière Qu’Appelle en Saskatchewan. La rivière Qu’Apelle sillonne le sud de la Saskatchewan. Elle prend sa source au barrage Qu’Appelle du lac Diefenbaker et se jette dans la rivière Assiniboine au Manitoba. Elle est très sinueuse. Pour vous donner une idée de conversion, 50 km de rivière ne représentait souvent que 30 km à vol d’oiseau. Bien que ce cours d’eau soit bordé principalement de champs destinés à l’élevage bovin, il y a une grande diversité d’animaux sauvages et d’oiseaux. De plus, la rivière Qu’Appelle fait partie du Grand Sentier, le Sentier Transcanadien sur une distance totale de 166.73 km depuis Lumsden jusqu’à Katepwa Beach. #ClipperCanoes​ #Hilleberg #ORTLIEB #HappyYak​ #Wildravenadventure #JasminetheBearDog​ #canoelife #canoe #adventure #NoramOdyssey #4yearscanoeadventure #Canada #exploresaskatchewan #explorecanada #canada #happiness

UK Sailmakers uses very powerful 3-D CAD/CAM software for sail design, which create virtual 3-D molds that can be digitally sliced into two-dimensional panels that when joined back together re-create a full-size version of the designed mold. Thanks to powerful 3-D graphic renderings, designers can see how sail fit around the spreaders and shrouds as well as make sure the clew height and sheeting angles are right. They can also analyze how a main and genoa work together to make sure the boat stays balanced. What we are looking for is a sailplan and sail shapes that put the maximum driving force in precisely the right place to produce a perfectly balanced boat – and with the least amount of drag. Pat Considine, UK Sailmakers’ chief designer, goes a step further and uses Fluid Structural Interaction software, called FSI for short, as a virtual wind tunnel for refining sail designs and sail construction. FSI calculations are used to test proposed designs and cloth choices to make sure they are not built too strong (too heavy) or too weak (too light) for their expected loads. The FSI calculations will predict whether a design and construction will keep its shape properly as the rig bends, halyards are tightened and sheets are trimmed. Shown rotating in this video are two renderings of a Tripp 47 mainsail design. The side-by-side comparison shows the sail with no backstay tension and with max backstay trim. The FSI software allows Pat to rotate the two designs together to study their shape from any angle. In this case, Pat needed to be sure the draft would not move too far aft as the sail was flattened; likewise, he had to make sure the draft was not too far forward when the backstay was eased completely. The FSI program has made extremely accurate predictions of how specific sail designs will perform once made and trimmed in a variety of wind speeds. These tests ensure sails will meet the performance needs right out of the bag.
