We varnish by hand. We let our craftsmen use their skill and their eyes to decide when the wood used in the interior has enough varnish. Many companies use varnishing machines that spray thin layers of varnish onto the wood; often before the wood is assembled into the finished part. By applying vanish by hand we get a thicker, more hard-wearing finish on our wooden surfaced. By varnishing after units are assembled the wood is completely sealed and moisture has nowhere to enter the wood. Our bulkheads are varnished only once they have been laminated in the boat. This fully seals the wood, to ensure a tough finish for years to come. It’s more work to varnish in this way, but we don’t compromise on quality. #WeAreSirius #SiriusWerft #Sirius #siriusyachts #Yacht #Yachting #Sailing #Sailboat #Decksaloon #decksalon #BluewaterCruiser #OffshoreCruiser #LiftingKeel #Twinkeel #BilgeKeel #Handbuilt #Sailingyacht #Sailingboat #BlueWaterSailing #GoAnywhereCruiser #Swingkeel #OceanSailing #Circumnavigation #DreamYacht #Segeln #SailingLife #SailingLifeStyle #LiveABoard #SailingInstagram #YachtingWorld

This is the new solar panel support option! It allows for 6 370W LG panels to be placed aft of the rigging blocks located on the cockpit roof. I believe this option is only available when going for the "ES" (Extended Scoop) model/option, as that model has more buoyancy aft. The two panels that are in front of the four you can see are mounted athwartship (sideways), which opens up more access to the boom and also makes those panels less likely to be shaded by the boom or mainsail. In addition to the above, it also provides shade/protection for the tender. These supports are made from carbon fiber and then fiberglassed and carbon fibered onto the coach roof and each can support a person hanging from them. Mira is being built with these supports and a total of 8 370W panels. The additional two will be mounted forward on the coach roof; one on the port side, one on the starboard.

Learning conditions matter. Dedicated sessions also create space for confidence, questions, progression and shared experience. Because preparing a cruising project means making sure everyone on board can take their place with confidence, clarity and practical understanding. That is how long-distance sailing becomes more fluid from the beginning. What helps build confidence most when learning onboard skills? #AlluresYachting #WomenWhoSail #BluewaterCruising #Navigation #CruisingCommunity #OwnerExperience
