Sailing through orca territory isn’t something we take lightly and while preparing this post for you guys, we heard another sailboat calling for help on the radio..How we stay informed and reduce the risk as much as possible: 📍We monitor:• GT Orcas App – To stay updated about interactions, sightings and risk mapping. • www.orcas.pt – MMSI verified fellow sailors for live-updates. • Telegram groups – Live updates from fellow sailors. • Orca Facebook groups - to stay updated. • We listen to channel 16 (as always) and when we here something related to a orca situation we start recording the conversation so we can go back and listen to it again ex. if we didn’t get the position, name of the vessel etc. ⚠️Our precautions:• We have chosen to only sail in daylight – Which sometimes means early mornings to do a long leg. If something were to happen, we rather want to handle it in full visibility than in the dark. • We have chosen to stay in shallow water - inside the 20m depth counter when possible, but still keeping a safe distance from breaking waves and shallow hazards. • We carry a duffel bag full of sand on deck– The most humane way to try and deter orcas, should they approach the rudder. • We maintain constant lookout – For tall dorsal fins, but also for coastal fishing gear when close to shore. • We talk through roles and action plans - so everyone onboard knows what to do in case of an emergency. 🚨Our procedure in case of an orca interaction: 1: Engine on, max speed, turn boat towards shallows and/or land. 2: One person in charge of throwing sand in the water to hopefully prevent the orcas from damaging the rudder. 3: One person in charge of flipping the swimmingladder down in the water and banging it with a hammer to make loud noises in the water to deter the orcas. 4: Other important things is to issue a Pan-Pan call on the vhf, continuous lookout and video documentation of the interaction. N.B that this is simply the way we’ve chosen to handle the situation, not a detailed A–Z guide on how you should proceed. Always make sure to research the specific area you’re sailing in. Stay safe. #orca #sailing #shortoftheday #circumnavigation

The C-Cat 38 is an upgrade of the successful C-Cat 37, a sailing catamaran with a sporty feel, great comfort, and refined design. Designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group with the technical team at Comar Yachts. ▫️ The new C-Cat 38 is 73 cm longer than the C Cat 37, aiming for 0.9 knots additional boat speed at 10 knots of wind. In the cockpit, a comfortable aft bench and a table that’s 35 cm longer have been added. Among the new features are the composite davits and wheels, bowsprit, carbon posts, and bimini. The sail plan will be more powerful due to the increased area of the mainsail and the Code 0 sail. ▫️ Emphasis has been placed on performance and the ability to navigate well in all sea and wind conditions. The C-Cat 38, in addition to its generous sail plan, has a refined hull shape, the result of thorough study, allowing it to sail in light winds while delivering the same performance as a monohull cruiser-racer when sailing upwind and hitting exciting speeds in fresher conditions. ▫️ Comfort is delivered with the pronounced chines in the topsides, which gives a slender profile in the water before broadening above. The chine and the high trampoline above the waterline ensure a dry deck even in choppy waters. ▫️ Available in versions from 2 to 4 cabins and 2 bathrooms.  ▫️ @c-catamarans3865 #yachts #design #new #catamaran #multihulls
