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.

► Full test in Multihulls World N°202: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/dracan-42-a-powercat-with-a-bold-design ► The Dracan 42, launched by a dynamic team based in Poland, draws on the expertise of the builder Model Art, and was presented in model form at boot Düsseldorf before the public got the chance to discover it in a world premiere at home in July at the 5th edition of the Polboat Yachting Festival. This new powercat is now ready to challenge - among others - the Makai 37 and the YOT 41 in Cannes, with a few key features: the modern design of this semi-open hull is unmistakably successful, and the carefully designed layout, with 2, 3 or 4 cabins, will adapt to any program. The deck layout is ideal for relaxation, with large sun loungers aft and a forward cockpit. ► Builder: Dracan Marine/Model Art Architect: Dracan Marine Design: Blazejak Yacht Design Length overall: 41’3” (12.6 m) Hull length: 41’ (12.5 m) Waterline length: 33’3” (10.14 m) Beam: 15’10” (4.85 m) Draft: 23” (0.6 m) / 3’11” (1.2 m) Air draft: 14’5” (4.3 m) Displacement (incl. motors): 23,809 lbs (10.8 t) Max. engine size: 2 x 400 HP Max. speed: 30 knots Fuel: 2 x 132 US gal (2 x 500 l) Water: 2 x 53 US gal (2 x 200 l) CE certification: B8/C12/D16 ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Sailboat Repairs; U-Bolts Installed. As we near completion for our major sailboat repairs-our excitement mounts. These are the U-Bolts that we had specially machined, here in Anacortes to hold our mast. They extend through the chainplates to the interior of our Sceptre 41. We plan to be sailing in about two weeks towards B.C., where we will be spending 2-3 months doing our 'shakedown cruise', before heading south. For another video about our repairs, check out this one: https://youtube.com/shorts/PgbZOAb-pTE?si=Yi5U87uGQNptFqSD If you dig our journey as a new sailing couple, learning to sail, buying a Sceptre 41, getting ready to sail and launching, we would love you to follow along: Join us on our website at: https://gypseaexplorer.com/ Or on our Instagram Channel: https://www.instagram.com/writerjacks/
