One of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever seen; even the cat, Odin, had to join me on this chilly morning to watch the sun paint the sky orange, yellow, pink, and purple. He's a great sailing cat.

How to save someone that goes overboard and you’ve got both sails up? Without tacking or jibing, you go into a broad reach, bring the sails in tight, and heave-to. The sheets stay as they were. You’re effectively putting the sails over to the wrong side of the boat. By doing this you put the boat in position for the casualty to drift towards the boat and you also stop forward motion. With the engine, you then go forward and backward lining up the casualty along the beam of the boat…waiting for the person to drift down. Have you ever done this kind of MOB procedure? It’s not commonly taught in sailing schools. Follow us for more tips on becoming a confident sailing cruiser! #sailingexperience #sailingexperiences #learntosail

BayCruiser 21 The smallest boat among the nominees is also the most versatile: with the ballast centreboard and rudder raised, the British boat with its cuddly retro look is just 25 centimetres deep and can therefore be slipped in shallow shore areas. Thanks to the carbon rig with Dyneema shrouds, setting the mast is also easy. If the 400 litre water ballast tank remains empty, the BayCruiser has a very good power-to-weight ratio (sail carrying capacity 5.2). Hull length: 6.01 m; overall length: 6.01 m; waterline length: 5.67 m; width: 2.18 m; draught: 0.25-1.50 m; weight/with water ballast: 0.6/1.0 t; sail area: 19.0 m2; STZ/m. Water ballast: 5.2/4.4; Price: 39,210 euros.
