I was watching one of those videos about how to be healthier, happier, more productive by a beautiful American. As so often, they were pontificating on the things that are essential parts of a daily routine. One of the most popular trends for that at the moment is how essential it is to go outside first thing in the morning and get 10 minutes of sunlight. Clearly, they have never lived in North Wales (or Manchester where we ere before). We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).

I've wanted to do a series on knot tying and line handling for years. No time is like the present to get the series going. Be sure to tune into episode number 1 for a video on the best way to do a basic line coil. We'll be doing videos on the following knots so be sure to tune in.

Sea Anchor = Ancora Galleggiante • Si lancia a prua • Serve a fermare o rallentare la barca mantenendola allineata con le onde e controvento • Utile in situazioni di emergenza, maltempo o per stazionare temporaneamente senza dare fondo all’ancora vera e propria Sea Drogue (o para-sea) - NON è un’ancora galleggiante • Si lancia a poppa • Non ferma la barca, ma la rallenta e la stabilizza mentre continua ad avanzare • Usato soprattutto per controllare la barca con mare al giardinetto (onde da dietro), evitando che acceleri o si intraversi 👉 In sintesi: • Sea Anchor / Ancora galleggiante = davanti, per fermare • Sea Drogue = dietro, per rallentare e stabilizzare

The Earthling E40 Hybrid Power Catamaran. We met the Earthlink team recently in Barcelona to take a look at the innovative systems on the E40  E-Propulsion Power Cat. John McGettigan motored the boat from Genoa to Barcelona (650 nm) single handed. ▫️ What do you think? ▫️ 10 Key Points: A cutting-edge hybrid-electric catamaran with top engineering standards.​ . Designed by @johnmcgettigan66, it's powered by twin Molabo electric motors and a 45kWh lithium battery system supported by a 2kW solar array.​ . On battery alone, Earthling can cruise silently for up to 40 nautical miles at lower speeds, or 20nm at 8 knots, and 18nm at 10 knots—the "sweet spot".​ . Two diesel-powered 8.5kW Whisperpower Genverters provide hybrid range extension and can run on biofuel. . Hulls are ultra-light (12m/3.6 tonnes) and based on the Stealth 36 powercat design, built with carbon composites for max efficiency.​ . Large 600mm propellers spin slowly (400–600rpm), optimised for quiet, efficient cruising at 10 knots.​ . Full recharge takes just 2 hours from shore power or 3 days from solar at anchor or at the dock. . The entire boat is run by E-Thos, a smart remote-control system that manages power, navigation, and amenities with real-time alerts.​ . Interior is single-level, open-plan, with smart use of space and 5 berths—perfect for weekend getaways . The E-40 aims to set a benchmark in eco-friendly boating: silent, clean, energy-efficient, and ready for the next generation of boaters. . #electric #hybrid #yacht
