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

Watching these sails cut through the sea next to my island is a feeling that's hard to put into words—year atter year. A mix of adrenaline, beauty, and pride that never gets old. My island, my sky Le riprese di oggi dal mio drone al passaggio della Rolex Middle Sea Race... pura magia! Vedere queste vele tagliare il mare accanto alla mia isola è ogni anno un'emozione difficile da spiegare. Un mix di adrenalina, bellezza e orgoglio che si rinnova ogni volta. La mia isola, il mio cielo, la mia prospettiva. 19 Ottobre 2025 STROMBOLI STATI D'ANIMO
