We discussed the philosophy behind the Dracan 42 with Piotr Jasionowski. 🎙️ The catamaran, partially inspired by the automotive and aerospace industries, focuses on maximizing space both on deck and within the vessel. Built from high-quality materials, along with a keen attention to aesthetics and practicality, this has given the catamaran a unique character. We would like to emphasize that it offers adaptability and customization according to the desires of the customers, whether it's related to the interior, cabin layout, or the addition of special features. 🔉 Learn more: https://masteryachting.com/en/yacht/dracan-42/?utm_source=youtube #Dracan #DracanMarine #CannesYachtingFestival #MasterYachting #SailingCatamaran #BoatShow2024 #YachtingWorld #MasterYachtingGroup
The Greyhound is a typical Dykstra Naval Architects design, based on Gerry Dykstra's private Bestevaer. The aluminium hull will be build at KM Yachtbuilders over the next few months. It's being build for a Dutch family who has lots of sailing experience. In this video they are welding in the build number (098) themselves. A visible and lasting memory.

A staysail is a type of sail that is typically smaller than the main sail on a boat, and is attached to a stay (a wire or rope) that connects to the mast of the vessel. It can be used in a variety of wind conditions, but is particularly useful in stronger winds, when the larger main sail may be difficult to handle. In our case we’re using it because our furler is broken and we can’t use the headsail. Staysails are often used for upwind sailing, and can help to balance the boat by reducing the amount of weather helm (the tendency of the boat to turn into the wind). They can also be used in conjunction with a larger headsail or spinnaker to help control the boat’s speed and direction in varying wind conditions. Staysails are commonly found on sailing yachts and other sailing vessels, and can be made from a variety of materials, including Dacron, Kevlar, and other synthetic fibers. #staysail #sailboat #sailinglife
