Provisioning For Our First Sailing Trip! Our first official sail is in the San Juan Islands for two weeks and I am a provisioning fool--Virgo Style! I have created a Par Sheet for our trip. What we have on board and what we need. I have taken everything out of boxes and put them in labeled containers, and noted the location of each container on my Excel Sheet. I also color coded recipes to each meal: Breakfast = Yellow: Lunch = Purple: Dinner = Blue. Provisioning Virgo-Style! We are new sailors. If you dig our journey; we would love you to subscribe or follow us on our blog: https://gypseaexplorer.com/ Cheers! Heather & Chris!

Gineico Marine demonstrates the quick response of the Quick Gyro Stabiliser when switched 'on'! Reducing boat roll up to 95%, the vertically spinning gyros are effective at full speed as well as at anchor. While our team are putting all their effort into producing roll when the Quick Gyro was on, their efforts amounted to very little. The Quick Gyro is the smallest, simplest gyro on the market. With 17 different models to choose from, our wide range covers applications from the smallest 20ft day cruiser or centre console through to superyachts. We have the right Gyro for your vessel. For a pleasant day out, don't go boating without one! ⚓ Visit our website for more information and an online quote - https://www.gineicomarine.com.au/quic... , or 🌊 Book a Sea Trial to check out what all the excitement is about: https://www.gineicomarine.com.au/book...

Working or playing? When you love what you do and do what you love there's often no clear line between the two. To design and build outstanding boats, understanding every aspect of the interplay between hulls, wind & water is crucial, as is first hand experience of all the systems and components that bring it to life and the potential effects of minor changes on any of these. Up close and wet on a mighty machine is one excellent way to do that and is exactly what our youngest team members have been doing this season. Design and build have teamed up in the persons of Luca and Pete, and they've been joined by others in their age groups from the yard and local sailing scene, as well as friends from Highwater Sails. D-1 is a well proven weapon and was the training ground for Daz himself who raced across the Atlantic (and won!) in a boat just like this, Clarke's Active Air, the 3rd Dazcat. They say passion diminishes over time but here it just seems to gather momentum. We'll be bringing you much more on D-1's season soon. In the meantime enjoy this short, and you decide whether they're working, playing or simply trying to survive!!
