Super Saturday at the RORC Easter Challenge. The Easter treats continued for close to 300 hundred sailors taking part in the RORC Easter Challenge. Fabulous sailing conditions continued in the Solent for Day Two of the regatta. The RORC Race Committee, led by Steve Cole, with Paul Jackson as PRO, organised two race courses giving the fleet a mixture of windward leeward races and round the cans courses. Three races were completed for all three IRC Classes; a south easterly breeze of 10 to 16 knots, with beautiful spring sunshine, provided superb racing. A race debrief was held at the RORC Cowes Clubhouse with more expert advice from Andrew ‘Dog’ Palfrey and the coaching team, and included drone footage from North Sails of starts, mark roundings and boat handling. Those unable to attend watched the presentation via Zoom with documents, videos and pictures also uploaded to the Cloud. “What a fantastic job by the RORC Race Committee; a great mixture of courses, which is what you want for a training regatta,” commented Dog Palfrey. “We have seen some solid improvements since the first day. There is still a way to go to be consistently well-sailed, but every team has made ground towards that goal.” #RORCracing #EasterChallenge #NorthSails 📸 RORC / Shaun Roster / Louay Habib

A palm sized electric motor can handle enough power to move a 105kg mass at more than 40kmh, on water! See this vid for some more on the eFoil: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BadBNv5qcL4

Its steel hull and aluminum superstructure provide the ruggedness of a transoceanic vessel while maintaining a sporty, contemporary aesthetic. The interior is designed for modern living, offering a bright, open-plan saloon and three spacious en-suite cabins. The flybridge and expansive foredeck provide multiple zones for outdoor relaxation, while the efficient hull design ensures a smooth and stable ride.
