At one point, we noticed the anchor light wasn’t working. Apparently, after six years the battery was dead. We were able to buy a spare anchor light, and I went up the mast to replace it. The first time, we thought it would be easy—just replace the light or the battery—but it turned out that more work was needed. The anchor light had to be unscrewed and the two wires had to be reconnected in the terminal block. And all of that at 22 meters up, right on top of the mast. After some instructions from Gilles, I went up the mast again, this time bringing tools along in the side pockets of the “chair” (bosun’s chair) in which you’re hoisted up. It worked, and the anchor light was shining brightly again at the top of the mast!

Ogni termine nautico racchiude in sé un mondo di esperienza e tecnica. Oggi esploriamo l’espressione “andare all’orza”, una manovra fondamentale nella navigazione a vela. Andare all’orza significa portare l’imbarcazione il più vicino possibile alla direzione del vento, senza però che le vele inizino a sventolare. Questa manovra è cruciale per sfruttare al meglio la potenza del vento e mantenere il controllo dell’imbarcazione. * Quando si va all’orza, l’obiettivo è di raggiungere l’angolo più stretto possibile con il vento, ottenendo la massima velocità senza perdere stabilità. È una sfida che mette alla prova le abilità del velista, richiedendo una grande sensibilità e una comprensione profonda del comportamento della barca e delle condizioni meteorologiche. * Questa manovra non solo è essenziale nelle regate, dove ogni grado conta, ma è anche un’abilità preziosa nelle navigazioni quotidiane. Andare all’orza permette di risalire il vento, una competenza fondamentale quando si deve raggiungere una destinazione controvento. * Andare all’orza è, inoltre, un’arte. Richiede di percepire il vento, di ascoltare il sibilo sulle vele e di sentire il timone nelle mani. Ogni movimento, ogni regolazione, deve essere eseguita con precisione e sensibilità. * In definitiva, andare all’orza non è solo una manovra tecnica; è una danza con il vento, un aspetto che incarna la bellezza e la sfida della vela. * Francesco +39 347 4184600 francesco.parazzoli@me.com * #Orza #Vela #Nautica #Navigazione #Velismo #Mare #AmorePerLaVela #Regata #Vento #SportAcquatici #weekendavela #ironia #ironiaportamivia #cazzateinbarcaavela #sailinglife #sailinglovers #sailingholidays #sailingpassion #sailingadventure
