#construction #aluminium #voilier OVNI 490 : retournement de la coque ! C'est une impressionnante manoeuvre qui s'est déroulée au chantier Alubat dans la ville de @LesSablesdOlonne-Tourisme pour le retournement de la coque de ce voilier 100% aluminium dédié au grand voyage. Construite à l'envers sur son gabarit, la coque a été "démoulée" puis contrôlée par ressuage pour tester l'étanchéité des soudures. C'est pourquoi un liquide rose apparaît à l'intérieur de la coque puisque qu'un liquide rose est appliquée à l'intérieur et une mousse blanche à l'extérieur de la coque. Si un point rose apparaît à l'extérieur, c'est qu'il y a une fuite et qu'il faut refaire la soudure. Ce cas est rare mais peut arriver donc tous nos bateaux sont testés. Et maintenant que la coque est à l'endroit, elle va pouvoir recevoir son pont avec son cockpit et sa timonerie ! A suivre dans l'atelier de chaudronnerie : l'assemblage.

Welcome to Day 2 of our Christmas calendar! 🎄 Today, we’re diving into the galley—our compact yet highly functional kitchen on Vela. ⛵ Placed on the starboard side, just behind the nav station, our galley is designed for safety and efficiency: ✨ Longitudinal layout ensures we can cook securely even when the boat heels. ❄️ Big fridge and freezer for all our provisions. 🔥 Gas stove for cooking up delicious meals, even mid-passage. 💦 Double sink with 3 water outlets: Pressurized fresh water (hot/cold) Manual fresh water pump Manual saltwater pump (great for rinsing without wasting fresh water). On the opposite side, we have a spacious prepping area, and while we once had a microwave, we’ve replaced it with storage and an espresso machine—because we appreciate a good cup of coffee! ☕ What would you cook in this galley? Drop your ideas or questions in the comments! 👇 🎥 See you tomorrow for the next part of our boat tour! 🎵 Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #LifeAtSea

Setting Sail to Mljet Mljet is one of the southernmost islands in Croatia, located just a short sail away from Dubrovnik. The journey itself is a visual feast, with the deep blue waters of the Adriatic Sea contrasting against the rugged coastline dotted with ancient forts and charming villages. As you approach Mljet, the island’s dense pine forests and dramatic cliffs come into view, promising adventure and relaxation in equal measure. Arriving in Polače: A Natural Harbor Polače, situated on the northern coast of Mljet, is one of the island’s oldest settlements and its largest natural harbor. The bay is exceptionally well-protected, making it a favored anchorage for sailors.
