The Mediterranean yachting season continued in style with Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. See the Rolex film trailer for this week-long nautical festival, which annually gathers some 4,000 sailors for intense racing along the Côte d’Azur. Among the 300-plus modern, classic and Wally yachts competing in the 20th edition was the 110-year-old classic Viola, a gaff cutter of rare beauty awarded this year’s Rolex Trophy after winning the Fife Jubilee event.
What great footage! We had the opportunity to capture a Windelo 54 Sport and a Windelo 54 Yachting gliding through the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. As you know, Windelos are real sailing boats, light and fast, built to hoist the sail even in a light wind (starting at 3 knots). You can also see the difference in design and aesthetics between the Sport and Yachting versions. They are both unique in their kind while keeping the Windelo DNA, their eco-responsibility, and their futuristic appearance. Which one is your favorite, the Sport or the Yachting version? ------ Quelles belles images ! Nous avons eu l'occasion de filmer un Windelo 54 Sport et un Windelo 54 Yachting glissant côte à côte sur les eaux de la Méditerranée. Comme vous le savez, les catamarans Windelo sont de véritables voiliers, légers et rapides, construits pour hisser les voiles même par 3 à 4 nœuds de vent. Ça a été l’occasion de naviguer à la vitesse du vent réel, dès 3 nœuds de vent ! Vous pouvez également voir la différence de design et d'esthétique entre les versions Sport et Yachting. Elles sont toutes les deux uniques en leur genre, tout en gardant l'ADN Windelo comme notamment leur éco-responsabilité et leur aspect futuriste. Alors, si vous deviez faire un choix, sur lequel embarqueriez-vous ? Le Sport ou le Yachting ? #windelo #windelosport #windeloyahcting #windelo 54 #ecocatamaran #electriccatamaran #electricboat #occitanie #mediterranean #catamarans #multihulls #multicoques #sailing #sailingpassion #sailinglovers #sailinglightwind
We anchored in the bay of Laganas and while we were anchoring, we suddenly heard a puff coming from the water. It turned out to be a sea turtle that swam at the back of the ship and came up for a moment. We were surprised, because we knew that this bay was famous for sea turtles, but we did not expect to see one right away. And it was impressive, because the sea turtle was at least 1 meter long and weighed 80kg, which means that she is certainly more than 50 years old. The sea turtles have become the symbol of Zakynthos, they are called Caretta caretta and can grow up to 1.20 meters and weigh 100 kg. They mainly eat jellyfish, shellfish and seaweed. The breeding season runs from May to August. Females come ashore at night to lay their eggs in holes, after which they cover them with sand. A nest can contain up to 100 eggs. After about 60 days the young turtles hatch. They navigate to the sea by following the moonlight. The caretta caretta is very threatened by pollution, fishing and tourism. We spent 3 days in the bay, saw a sea turtle behind our boat a few times every day, but often 8 tourist boats immediately came to see the turtle very close as it tried to swim to the beach.
