Sailing through orca territory isn’t something we take lightly and while preparing this post for you guys, we heard another sailboat calling for help on the radio..How we stay informed and reduce the risk as much as possible: 📍We monitor:• GT Orcas App – To stay updated about interactions, sightings and risk mapping. • www.orcas.pt – MMSI verified fellow sailors for live-updates. • Telegram groups – Live updates from fellow sailors. • Orca Facebook groups - to stay updated. • We listen to channel 16 (as always) and when we here something related to a orca situation we start recording the conversation so we can go back and listen to it again ex. if we didn’t get the position, name of the vessel etc. ⚠️Our precautions:• We have chosen to only sail in daylight – Which sometimes means early mornings to do a long leg. If something were to happen, we rather want to handle it in full visibility than in the dark. • We have chosen to stay in shallow water - inside the 20m depth counter when possible, but still keeping a safe distance from breaking waves and shallow hazards. • We carry a duffel bag full of sand on deck– The most humane way to try and deter orcas, should they approach the rudder. • We maintain constant lookout – For tall dorsal fins, but also for coastal fishing gear when close to shore. • We talk through roles and action plans - so everyone onboard knows what to do in case of an emergency. 🚨Our procedure in case of an orca interaction: 1: Engine on, max speed, turn boat towards shallows and/or land. 2: One person in charge of throwing sand in the water to hopefully prevent the orcas from damaging the rudder. 3: One person in charge of flipping the swimmingladder down in the water and banging it with a hammer to make loud noises in the water to deter the orcas. 4: Other important things is to issue a Pan-Pan call on the vhf, continuous lookout and video documentation of the interaction. N.B that this is simply the way we’ve chosen to handle the situation, not a detailed A–Z guide on how you should proceed. Always make sure to research the specific area you’re sailing in. Stay safe. #orca #sailing #shortoftheday #circumnavigation

The Lagoon 570 is a large catamaran with plenty of space on board and can accommodate up to 10 guests in 5 double en-suite cabins with separate crew quarters for a Skipper or extra guests. This is one of the nicest presented Lagoon catamarans that we have had on our listings and is always kept in absolutely immaculate condition inside and out in fact I do not feel that you would find better without a long hard search, this catamaran is a real beauty! One of the older style Lagoons, which in many peoples opinion was a much better sailing yacht, better built with a generous degree of performance compared to the newer options..... This catamaran is based in Portugal and is ready to go now and expected to sell quickly, due to her lovely condition and current demand for the larger older style catamarans. With this catamarans spacious layout it would be an ideal crewed charter option or a superb private family world cruiser. Maintained to perfection by her carefully owners and fully loaded with options, the yacht is extremely well equipped. If your looking in the 60ft foot range for a catamaran you owe yourself a trip to see this one as it is rather special with huge cockpit and luxurious saloon there is plenty of space on board for family friends or charter guests and rarely available this side of the pond.
