The last two weeks have been a busy time for the new crew of Red Rocket. With a brave heart nothing impossible, they will have responded favourably to the call of the sea, and organized their life so far sedentary for a jump into the unknown. Who has never dreamed of swapping their existence for an unpredictable, sunny and salty adventure? Few of us have had a chance to put their daily lives in the wings, and turn their dream of family pilgrimage into reality. Our farmers in the Loire Atlantique will have managed to overcome all the difficulties inherent in a hasty departure for one year. The farm is in good hands for one year, Children already doing their homework on the square table of Red Rocket and the explorations in the Canaries can begin serenely. Before the first ambitious navigations, a technical tour of Red Rocket was necessary to discover its systems, its sails, the inventory and refuelling present on board, and of course the different communication systems that will connect them to land. Red Rocket can continue her journey serenely, in good hands! - Les deux dernières semaines n’auront pas été de tout repos pour le nouvel équipage de Red Rocket. A cœur vaillant rien d’impossible, ils auront répondu favorablement à l’appel du large, et organisé leur vie jusqu’ici sédentaire pour un saut dans l’inconnu. Qui n’a jamais rêvé de troquer son existence pour une aventure imprévisible, ensoleillée et salée ? Peu d’entre nous auront eu une chance de mettre leur quotidien entre parenthèses, et de transformer leur rêve de pérégrination en famille. Nos fermiers de Loire Atlantique auront réussi à surmonter toutes les difficultés inhérentes à un départ précipité pour un an. La ferme est entre de bonnes mains pour une année, les enfants déjà à leurs devoirs sur la table de carré de Red Rocket et les explorations aux canaries peuvent commencer sereinement. Avant les premières navigations ambitieuses un tour technique de Red Rocket s’imposait, afin de découvrir ses systèmes, ses voiles, l’inventaire et avitaillement présent à bord, et bien sûr les différents systèmes de communication qui les raccorderont à terre. Red Rocket peut donc poursuivre son périple sereinement, entre de bonnes mains !

The Windy 53 Balios, like her sister ship the 52 Xanthos, is unashamedly special - a premium quality high performance Motor Yacht. The combination of Hi-Tec vacuum infusion moulding with a no compromise design brief to produce a soft, seaworthy, efficient hull gives an exceptional top speed of just under 40 knots depending on engine choice and class leading fuel economy together with low noise levels sets new standards in todays demanding market. Also available with triple or twin IPS for ultimate acceleration and handling. The difference between the two motor yachts is that the Balios, with its slightly longer length offers a capacious dinghy garage designed to be large enough to accommodate a jet rib. On the top of the garage is a luxurious sunpad. The award winning helm position is a study in ergonomics. Firstly, unlike most boats in this size range, the view for the helmsman is perfect either when seated or, with the electric footrest operated, standing. With helm and mate's position next to each other, both will enjoy the exceptional comfort of the luxurious body hugging seats. The dashboard layout is clear, precise and impressive and the anti-glare finish - restful to the eye - greatly improves vision in strong sunlight. With space for all the latest electronics this area is truly exceptional: perfect for relaxed, long distance cruising. The Balios also comes with the option of curved stainless and glass doors to screen off the wheelhouse. As these can be opened so that only one third of the entrance is closed, the effect when the large electric sunroof is open is almost one of an open boat; fully close the doors and the wheelhouse becomes a luxurious saloon, light and airy. At night it becomes cosy and welcoming, everywhere Windy's obsessive quest for quality is evident. A wide stairway leads down from the upper saloon and the style and finesse of the woodwork is immediately apparent. To starboard there is a large galley that blends in perfectly with the rich quality feel of the high gloss timberwork and opposite is the saloon - this area exudes the aura of a serious, immaculately appointed motor yacht. The forward stateroom has it's own spacious shower/heads compartment and there are also two luxurious guest cabins one of which has own en-suite facilities. The aft cockpit leads to wide walkways forward with high guard and toe rails; for added security, substantial stainless grabrails abound. The anchor winch system is both neat and safe with the gypsy protected when the safety cover is in place. Access to the engine room is via a large, secure hatch - here you will see a true reflection of Windy's attention to detail, practicality and quality. Take a good look at this area, it's where their boatbuilding skills are self evident. Next time you see a 53 Balios in the water just study how perfect the lines are and how the boat sits in the water rather than just on top. To put it simply - like the Xanthos, the Balios is a premium motor yacht for those who demand and can understand true quality when they see it.
