UPDATE 9/11/18 - just in from Boris Best from the upwind bouncing bam bam bam. All good here so far.Liebe grüße Tech talk: I had broken a lashing between the mast and the block for the mast rotation purchase. I left the mast rotation loose as upwind it aligns itself usually pretty nicely. This morning around 4 the boat was suddenly starting to act weirdly. I checked the wind angle display but i was upwind, although the boat was jumping over the waves and reaching at 2 knots. Heeled over a lot. I felt quickly that it was wrong with the wind instruments. I switched on the B system and find out that was broken. No surprise that the wind vane on the top of the mast was damaged after all the slamming. My heart beat rises imagining sailing the rest of the race with no instruments like in the TJV. It means a big penalty in performance. To figure out what was going on i swapped over some elements and could find that on my main system only the mast angle sensor had broken, possibly as a consequence of leaving the mast rotation open. I repaired the lashing, adjusted the mast to this upwind angle and gave the instruments a manuel input for mast angle instead of the sensor. That way my A system is now fully up and giving nice wind data again. A small issue but in the darkness and upwind - slamming is quite annoying. So happy now that i still have one functional wind vane at the top of the mast and can sail with autopilot following the wind angle… that helps a lot!

La Montecarlo 4 viene motorizzata con due motori Volvo Penta IPS 400 o IPS 500. Il vano motori è estremamente comodo per accedervi e per fare manutenzione ordinaria e straordinaria. Il modile cucina è stato messo vicino alla porta d'ingresso in modo da creare una continuità tra il pozzetto esterno ed il quadrato giorno.

Si torna in Italia! Si torna in Italiaaaaaaaa Ragazzi, julia non vede le coste italiane da quanto?! Era il giorno 41 quando abbiamo lasciato le coste sarde per fare rotta sulla Spagna. Quanta strada abbiamo percorso, quante cose sono cambiate… in fondo anche questo fa parte del gioco: ripercorrere la strada dell’andata e fare il punto, vedere quanto si è cambiati, quanto una cosa che all’andata ci intimoriva (come fare 250 miglia no stop) oggi rientra in piena confort zone. Questo ritorno porta con sé i suoi lati leggeri (come il ritorno a casa!) e quelli più riflessivi. Proprio così, un po’ siamo noi predisposti ai pipponi mentali e un po’ il mare agevola il surfare tra i pensieri e i ricordi. Che bella giornata ♥️ Voglio scriverlo nero su bianco per i momenti in cui tutto sembrerà più difficile, irraggiungibile. Nessuna grande scalinata è insormontabile. Un passo alla volta. Un gradino alla volta. A prestissimo Cami 🇮🇹🤍
