It is about understanding, anticipation and confidence. During owner week, our sessions are designed to help new owners build a stronger relationship with their boat and with their cruising plans, step by step and in the right conditions. Because good preparation changes the way you leave. Where would your project begin: coastal cruising, first offshore passage or world cruising? #AlluresYachting #Navigation #BluewaterCruising #CruisingProject #SailingEducation #WorldCruising

Flying my 7m2 Bullet powerkite for one of the first times, on a rare sunny day in the UK with winds 2-3 Bft. Plenty to lift me off my feet with this kite!

Check out the link below for full instructions on how to tie the Highwayman's Hitch. https://youtu.be/USjyE1nTV9Q The Highwayman’s hitch is a quick-release draw hitch used for temporarily securing a load that will need to be released easily and cleanly. The hitch can be untied with a tug of the working end, even when under tension. The highwayman's hitch can be tied in the middle of a rope, and so the working end does not need to be passed around the anchor when tying or releasing. The knot is three bights that each successively lock the previous one: - The first one, in the middle of the rope, wraps around the pole, - The second one (called the toggle bight) is a bight of the standing part locking the first one so the pole is held tight, and - The third one (called the slip-tuck) is a bight of the working part (slack end) locking the second bight. The locking actions are achieved by reaching through each bight to pull the next one through. The knot has to be finished by pulling the standing part tight to ensure that it holds. Until the knot is tightened and properly dressed, the highwayman's hitch has little holding power. The highwayman's hitch is susceptible to capsizing when the pole is substantially larger than the rope diameter. The failure occurs because the second bight sees the force of the standing part, but is held in place by the working part, which has no tension. When capsizing, tension on the standing part pulls the second bight through the first bight. This drags the slip-tuck through, and will release the hitch if the third bight isn't long enough. The team at bottom up boats hope you enjoyed our latest video demonstration where we teach you how to tie the highwayman's hitch.

Oggi lasciamo st. Lucia per continuare verso sud, vogliamo raggiungere le Grenadine prima di tornare verso nord e iniziare la nostra risalita. Fatti i documenti torniamo a bordo, issiamo il gommone e molliamo il gavitello. Una giornata grigia, che non sempre ha un’accezione negativa. Oggi ci godiamo un po’ di filtro dal sole in più. Arriviamo di notte dopo una veleggiata piacevole e veniamo accolti da un boat boy, simpatico e cordiale, che ci aiuta nell’ancoraggio. Una cenetta tra discorsi e risate e tutti a letto, stanchi e provati. Da domani, Grenadine! A.
