100 meters to the finish, we’re holding third place — then suddenly, the sound of the rudder chain snapping, and the yacht luffs sharply into the wind. The skipper stayed calm and acted fast, inserting the emergency tiller into the rudder stock to regain direct control of the rudder blade, bypassing the wheel. Thanks to the quick response, the yacht lost only a few positions and still crossed the finish line successfully. Back in the marina, technicians from the charter company were called in. They repaired the system and installed a new steering chain. A valuable lesson: never ignore play or looseness in the wheel — it’s often the first sign of trouble. #PAPARegatta #PAPARegatta2012 #TheArtOfSailing #ArtOfSailing #RudderFailure #CroatiaYachting #CroatiaSailing

When Tom Waes was at our shipyard last week he enjoyed having a break from the meetings by taking the Bestevaer 36 out for a little bit. Unfortunately the mist kept him from going far, but being out on the water is always refreshing and clears the mind. “I’m always happy to be on board a yacht,” he said. “It’s just a great feeling to be on the water, and it makes me even more excited for my own yacht!” #bestevaer #bestevaer36 #takeabreak #tomwaes #kalmwaes #tomwaesbe #sailingsatisfaction #explore #sail #sailtheworld #goanywhere #sailing #exploretheworld #travel #dream #reizenwaes #kmyachtbuilders 📸 @guyfleury_photography

Para saber se o veleiro está rapido ou não. É muito simples. Normalmente, velejo rebocando meu bote. Se o cabo estiver totalmente esticado e não encostar na água estou a 4 nós ou mais. se estiver ralando levemente na água, media de 2 a 3 nós. se ele entra na agua, o bote vem para frente, depois estica e dá um tranco, estou a 1 nó. faça o teste no seu veleiro tb
