We show how we rely on satellite imaging technology to navigate narrow channels through uncharted Indonesia coral reefs in the Bangai Region of Sulawesi before sailing a hundred miles overnight to a gorgeous lagoon anchorage on the island of Umbelle. We also explain the advantages of our in Leisurefurl in boom furling system and why we love it so much.

It was a spectacle that left the City of Livorno and even the Benetti Shipyard itself open-mouthed. Everyone there was amazed, bewitched and most importantly proud as they admired a stirring and unquestionably unique parade they are unlikely to ever see again. The three magnificent yachts, while preparing to cross the Atlantic on their way to the USA, showed themselves off in all their imposing and timeless beauty: mega yachts “Spectre” (69 meters long), “Seasense” (67 meters) and “11.11” (63 meters) paraded together in the waters off the Livorno Shipyard, inviting everyone to look out to sea and reflect on the result of long, impassioned and meticulous teamwork. It is a result the Shipyard decided to share with its co-citizens, who were captivated by this amazing sight and proud to be able to contribute in some way to it. The three exclusive models, representing an example of style admired the world over, enchanted and amazed everyone who had made a special trip or happened to be there by chance, and who are sure to treasure the emotions aroused by the three mega yachts for many years to come. There were also a few tears of disbelief and emotion to be seen on the faces of several shipyard workers who had contributed to these projects, and seen the fruits of their labour take shape day by day. The three magnificant works of art are tailor-made to satisfy the desires and represent the passions of their demanding, perfectionist owners; as well as embodying the dreams of every sea and yacht lover.

Safety is key when climbing the mast onboard Linnea! And this is our version 2.0 🤯 Always use two lines in case one will fail! At the beginning we used two running halyards, which meant that the one on deck was controlling two lines at the same time, tightening one and then the other and so on. It worked, but it was a very time consuming solution and it wasn’t very safe either! Doing this instead, the one on deck only have one line to control. The prusik knot is controlled by the person in the mast, who simply just moves it along the static halyard (the one attached to the foot of the mast) while going both up and down. Simple as that! Let us know what you think of this! Do you think this is a good solution or do you have a better one you like to share? How do you do when you climb the mast? Don’t forget to save this video 🫶🏼
