DOCK & GO The revolutionary Dock & Go system, a technology developed by BENETEAU, simplifies yacht maneuvers when sailing on engines. Whatever the wind and current conditions, or the harbor configuration, you can control the movement of your boat in a limited space with the kind of accuracy you have never achieved before. Now present on all 50 to 55-feet Oceanis sailing yachts, this high-tech innovation combines engine assistance and a bow thruster synchronized with a sail drive pod rotating to 360°. At once intuitive, safe and fun, this on-board intelligence means you can move the boat in a limited space and dock in the most difficult harbor slips. Read more: https://www.beneteau.com/us/page-innovation/dock-go -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 135 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.

On @Dreamtimesail we continue our explorations sailing our classic Whitby 42 Ketch through extremely remote areas of Indonesia and are amazed as each and every stop provides new adventures with extremely friendly locals and incredible sights to see above and below the water. We thought the north coast of the island of Seram had provided it all but then the surprises continued as we had a cracking sail onto an unexpected gem of an anchorage in a coral lagoon at a tiny village on Pulau Minipa. Here a planned overnight stay got stretched to spend time with the locals and enjoy some glorious snorkelling amongst the myriads of tropical fish and very healthy coral. Then we had another spirited sail across to the city of Namlea on Buru Island. Who says there’s no wind in Indonesia? We’ve found plenty so far.

Angel, an 83’ Custom design by Langan Design Partners and built by Yachting Developments, New Zealand, was launched last week. Was rigged and is now on her way south for the winter! Angel has visited Lyman-Morse over the last few years for routine maintenance before heading to the Caribbean during the winters.

Ron answers a common question we get from sailors. Is it possible to get the required measurements for us to make really good sails when your mast isn't even up? Yes, it is entirely possible. We made a blog and video getting excellent measurements for a headsail and mainsail while your mast is down. Check out the instructional videos and blogs below. https://www.precisionsailloft.com/blog/measuring-for-new-sails-mainsail-with-the-mast-down/ https://www.precisionsailloft.com/blog/measuring-for-new-sails-headsail-with-the-mast-down/ If you have any questions give us a call at 1-888-958-5638 or email: info@precisionsailloft.com
