A common expression heard among sailors in Colorado: "If you can sail here, you can sail anywhere!" I'd say it's primarily due to the quick-changing mountain weather and heavy winds that come up without warning. But the constantly swirling winds, steep mountain terrain, cold water, limited facilities, and lack of depth charts and hazard markings also make it a challenging place to sail. Several notable sailors hail from Colorado including world champion sailor Cameron Holland, Olympic competitors Chris Steinfeld, Erika Reineke, Sarah Ragle and Jack & Marcia Mathias and three-time America's Cup winner Josh Belsky (born in Rye, NY but relocated to Aspen, CO in 2008). Colorado is also home to the world's highest regatta, the Dillon Open Regatta held every August. Music: "Broken Bones" by Love Inc.

Out sailing with the Dazcats! ▫️ Thanks to Dazcat Catamarans for the footage, edit by Katamarans. ▫️ We met some of the Dazcat team at the Multihull Show in La Grande Motte and are going to have to organise that visit to Cornwall, the Land of the Giants. ▫️ The combined strengths of Dazcat, Multimarine and the Multihull Centre has enabled this group to grow steadily over recent years with rising demand for their services and their high quality performance cruising catamarans. ▫️ Centralisation of weight is a USP with these yachts all designed to reduce pitching motion. The soles are raised at the centre of each hull to create room for the engines, tanks and systems amidships. The lower centre of gravity of the boat gives a ride that you could compare to a low slung mid-engine sports car versus a 4x4 / SUV. ▫️ This company is one to watch. For a history of Dazcat head to 'https://kats.co/daz'. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #multihulls #dazcat #sailing #catamarans #dazcatcatamarans #multihull #catamaran #performancecatamarans #katamarans #cornwall #yachtdesigb
