Prenderà il via domani, 8 gennaio 2022 alle ore 11.00 UTC/ora locale (12.00 ora italiana), l’8a edizione della RORC Transatlantic Race, organizzata dal Royal Ocean Racing Club in collaborazione con Yacht Club de France. Maserati Multi 70 e le altre 31 imbarcazioni iscritte alla regata partiranno in due flotte leggermente scaglionate (alle 11:00 UTC i multiscafi, alle 11:10 UTC i monoscafi) da Puerto Calero, Lanzarote, e percorreranno 2995 miglia superando le Canarie e navigando attraverso l’oceano Atlantico fino all’isola di Grenada, nei Caraibi orientali. Maserati Multi 70 solcherà l’oceano in assetto volante, sfidando in una gara altamente competitiva i tre multiscafi rivali, due dei quali armati di foil di ultima generazione: Argo con Brian Thompson (USA), e PowerPlay che vede a bordo i velisti inglesi Giles Scott (tattico di Ineos Team UK in Coppa America e vincitore di due ori olimpici nella classe Finn) e Miles Seddon (che con Phaedo3 nel 2015 ha stabilito il record su questa tratta). Terzo competitor del team italiano è il maxi trimarano di 80 piedi Ultim Emotion 2 di Antoine Rabaste (FRA). Comune obiettivo sarà infrangere il record di 5 giorni, 22 ore, 46 minuti e 03 secondi, stabilito dal MOD70 Phaedo 3 di Lloyd Thornburg nel 2015. “Prevediamo una regata bella e avvincente anche se la situazione meteo in questo momento appare complicata da una depressione piuttosto bassa che fa sparire l’Aliseo e quindi la rotta classica per i Caraibi si annuncia lenta e con poco vento. Forse la soluzione sarà andare a cercare venti più stabili attorno alla bassa e quindi fare una rotta nord malgrado ci siano alcuni passaggi difficili” spiega Giovanni Soldini. “La gara sarà molto combattuta con tre barche uguali - Maserati Multi 70, PowerPlay e Argo - e Ultim Emotion 2, più grande e molto pericoloso”. Maserati Multi 70 partecipa alla RORC Transatlantic Race per la terza volta dopo aver gareggiato nelle edizioni del 2016 e del 2018, quando ha tagliato per primo la linea del traguardo con un tempo di 6 giorni, 18 ore, 54 minuti e 3 secondi. L’equipaggio che accompagnerà lo skipper Giovanni Soldini è composto da 5 esperti velisti: Vittorio Bissaro, Oliver Herrera Perez, Thomas Joffrin, Francesco Pedol, Matteo Soldini. #MaseratiMulti70 #RORCTransatlanticRace Sito web: https://maserati.soldini.it/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovannisoldini/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giovanni_soldini/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/giovannisoldini/

PREPARING YOUR LINES: Singlehanded Docking Stern To with Lazy Lines When docking your aim is to reduce the amount of time it takes to get your control line on . Here in video 5 Nick gives great practical tips to make it easier on both you and the person on the dock. Video 5 in Nicks step by step process getting set up and ready for Singlehanded Docking Stern To with Lazy Lines. =========================== TRANSCRIPT I didn't explain it. Just before we do this instead of having the whole line coiled to throw to the guy on the dock. Depending on the system on the dock. It could be a bollard or a ring. Quite often in the marinas like today it's a ring. So if you throw him the whole line, he's got to then find the end, untangle what you threw him, feed it through the ring and get it back to you. What you want to do when you're docking on your own or at any time is to reduce the amount of time it takes to get your control line on. So by throwing him just a manageable amount of line there he can get the end and feed it through and the slack will run out nice and easy =========================== Filmed and Edited by Mahina Hathaway and Nick Hathaway, 45 Degrees Sailing Looking to sail in Croatia?

The worse thing to find on your deck are little screws, bolts, and nuts. Where did they come from? Something important? Well Toni found a small set screw and we could not find anything within reach that it might belong to so up the mast I had to go. It belonged to the windex. I put some threadlock on it and returned it where it had escape, with a stern scolding. I am getting too old for this :(
