NormandyDog heading home after a day out to Illes Chausey off the French coast. It's 23 miles home and the winds now a force 5 right on the nose and the seas are building. That's why you buy an Orkney, it's gonna get you home every time.

Ogni compleanno va celebrato come si deve. Chissà perché il 30esimo per noi è così importante. Si tirano le fila. Si fa un primo checkpoint della strada percorsa fino a qui. Si realizza che il tempo va in una direzione sola. Per me c’è poca differenza, 29, 30, 31, sono tutti vicini. Invece la vera discriminante è un’altra. Avremmo mai immaginato di festeggiare il mio compleanno, a febbraio, in costume da bagno ai Caraibi? Neanche a pensarci. Questo è il vero insegnamento che voglio portarmi a casa. Tante preoccupazioni sul futuro e poi la vita decide che devi prendere una strada a cui mai e poi mai avresti pensato. Occhi aperti ragazzi, e soprattutto antenne alzate! Non sappiamo mai cosa si nasconde dietro l’angolo. Che volete farci, l’età mi ha reso saggia… A domani! Camilla

Cruising sailors tend to prefer things like swimming from their boat; Racing sailors prefer the water on top of their boat instead; They will spend as much money on sails as their boat is worth; They will sail so close together you could jump to the next boat; They will remove their dodger so they can fully enjoy all that water on top of their boat; They will crawl onto a pitching foredeck to lash down a sail because they don’t have a furler; They will climb onto the boom to install a reef line so they don’t have to slow the boat down; They will fly a spinnaker in 20 knots of wind or more; They won’t even bother taking down their own spinnaker, and will just let God do it; And they will do all of this whether it’s day or night, regardless of whether they can see or not; All for getting their boat’s name engraved on some stupid trophy, and getting some yellow flags to boast about their accomplishments, and for some unforgettable moments with friends - priceless!!!

Alexander Marine are pleased to present the 2011 Maritimo 56 Skylounge 'Ohana' to the market as central agents. 'Ohana' is certainly not your average Maritimo! The 56 model offers a sporty profile when compared to the "squarer" M52 & M60 siblings - indeed 'Ohana' looks fast even when she is tied up to the dock! She was highly customized for extended cruising by her passionate first owner, and her current and second owner have further refined the vessel by conducting numerous meaningful additional upgrades. 'Ohana' has spent her life cruising the beautiful reefs and coastline of Queensland. With this intention in mind, she was built complete with a Seakeeper gyro for maximum comfort underway - this is especially relevant at long-range displacement cruising speeds. With an LOA of 60 feet this is a fantastic owner-driver vessel for husband and wife adventurers who like to have a bit of room. 'Ohana' has the space for cruising in comfort, the style to live luxuriously on the water and the power to get you to some of the most spectacular places only accessible by boat, safely and efficiently. The Maritimo brand speaks for itself with a reputation for producing high quality offshore capable luxury motor yachts influenced by the Australian lifestyle - the perfect boat for coastal hopping and offshore cruising. Overall 'Ohana' is a capable, proven and well-maintained cruising vessel from a highly regarded manufacturer - its time to jump onboard and leave the rat race behind in search of reefs and sunsets. The timing of her sale is perfect - follow the sun this winter and head north for the Queensland cruising season festivities.
