This week I visited Antalya, where the ARES shipyard held the launching ceremony for their magnificent 62 meter cruising ketch "SIMENA". I was there to film the third in a series of 5 videos that will follow the project from construction to completion. You can follow it at the @yachtbuilders YoUtube channel.
Tuesday Tips: Mastering Jib Trim on a Catamaran ⛵️ Ready to perfect your jib trim? Think of the jib as the leading edge of an airplane wing—smooth and balanced for optimal performance. 🎯 Key tips: • Telltales should flow back on both sides of the sail, with no leech luffing. • Maintain twist from bottom to top, matching the main sail's shape. • Keep the slot (the space between the jib and main) just right to sustain attached airflow across the main sail for lift and speed. 🌊 Sail smarter, not harder—find the perfect balance! #TuesdayTips #SailTrim #CatamaranSailing #BalanceCatamarans #SailingTips
By far this is the best road trip we have ever done. We loved it so much we did it again. Many of the people that visit New Zealand often road trip around the South Island but I'm a firm believer that the North Island is just as beautiful, with the East Coast being just one example. We first did this trip in July 2022 and then again in September 2023 after Cyclone Gabrielle. The second time took longer to drive due to the extensive road works caused by the catastrophic damage from Cyclone Gabrielle so care was needed. Words cannot describe how beautiful this coastline is.
