You can sign up for Jeff’s Offshore Cruising course by going to https://www.boatersuniversity.com/ This Offshore Cruising Tip is called, “Through hulls”. Through hulls are vital operational features that every boat owner needs to understand. Many owners take through hulls for granted and don’t give them much thought. We’d like to encourage you to remember their vital roles. We recommend that you identify the location and purpose of each through hull on your boat. As part of your check lists and routines we suggest you test regularly and make sure each through hull is working – it can be freely opened and closed. When they aren’t used, they can “freeze” or become stubborn. Through hulls that supply raw water to strainers seem to get more service since they are closed off to clean out the strainers, then re-opened. Other through hulls, like deck drains, are rarely adjusted since they are almost always left open. “Exercising” through hulls keeps them active and ready. One tip we recommend is using a PVC pipe as a “long reach” to check those through hulls tucked away outboard and also as a “persuader” that can give you the extra leverage you need to nudge a through hull that has become stiff due to lack of use. Never force a through hull, you could break it and open the flow of water. It is a good practice to have soft wooden bungs and a soft blow hammer nearby to plug a broken through hull and stop the inflow of raw water. If your boat is hauled out you can be a bit more aggressive, but if they are really stuck, they may need to be disassembled or replaced. To learn more about preparing for safe cruising, we invite you to sign up for “Offshore Cruising – Preparing Craft and Crew” and learn why it has become one of the most popular classes offered.

Ci svegliamo e andiamo a terra: obiettivo spesa e pieno al dinghy. Spuntate le due mansioni del giorno ci gustiamo un ottimo pranzetto preparato da Matteo che come al solito tira fuori un asso dalla manica. Pochi ingredienti, ben miscelati. Il segreto di ogni chef, in fondo, si nasconde nella semplicità. Dopo alcune call di lavoro tiriamo su l’ancora e facciamo prua su anse noir, poco sotto fort de France. Inizialmente onda formata vento teso (soliti 20 nodi), ma Julia ormai si diverte leggera e spensierata. Sarà che le novità spesso spaventano, sarà che il mare sembra sempre minaccioso quando si presenta con onde più alte di due metri, ma il segreto sta nel farci amicizia. Non ha senso resistere alle cose, bisogna lasciarsi andare e seguirne il flusso. E noi oggi abbiamo fatto così: Julia è una barca in salute che ha voglia di galoppare e noi le lasciamo redini morbide e diamo gambe. Così una giornata che tempo fa ci avrebbe fatti stare tesi in attesa dell’arrivo, oggi ce la siamo goduta con il sorriso. Lezione messe nello zaino oggi: ciò che spaventa oggi non è detto che non diventi un tuo amico domani. Quindi avanti così, sempre vigili, sempre previdenti, ma con un sorriso in più A.

The Super Yaka is the ultimate solution for light wind conditions and downwind wing foiling. 💪 . The Super Yaka features a long and narrow design, providing excellent displacement and glide. This shape allows you to take off early, even in the lightest wind conditions. We’ve avoided making the board excessively narrow to main accessibility and ease of use in wing foiling. . 🏄‍♂️ Nathan Amizet 🎥 Jamie Hancock . #tabouboards #tabouwingfoiling #notjustbetterdifferent #wingfoiling #wing #foiling
