Gitana 18 is afloat and it's a big deal. Why? Because if the team's radical ideas work, the latest Ultim to be launched could mark a big leap forward when it comes to foiling in bigger sea states while raising the speed bar to well over 50 knots at the same time. Following our first glimpse of Gitana 18 earlier this year we get to understand more about a project that took 250,000 hours to design and build. Now we see the real thing in the open.
In front of the old town of Hvar, are the Paklinksi islands. It’s only half an hour of sailing, so you can actually see the islands already when you are in harbor of Hvar. We anchored in between 2 of the small islands (it’s an archipelago of 18 islets). You could smell the scent coming from the dense pine forests from the uninhabited small islands. "Paklina" means "tar", and in this case refers to the pine resin once used to coat ships that was harvested on these islands in front of Hvar. We flew with our drone over the islands and you can see the beautiful colors of the Adriatic sea.
