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

Isola Rossa can be found in the northern part of Sardinia. It is named after the 400 meter long granite rock that sits 500 meters off the Costa Rossa. The Spanish built a watchtower on a headland in front of the red rocky islands of Isola Rossa in 1595, where some fishermen settled in the 19th century. It is wonderfully picturesque, rugged and wild here Isola Rossa is also known as Red Island, although this is not an island at all. It is a charming seaside village in north Sardinia with magnificent views of the sea and the cliffs. We took a sheltered position near the red cliffs, we thought that was nice, but when we used the drone to look at our white boat on the blue water and the red cliffs from a distance, we were even more surprised!
