One of the latest innovations to be offered on Lagoon catamarans (46' and 51') is the mainsail furling boom. This has been developed by @LagoonCatamarans1984 with Incidence Sails and Groupe Wichard. ?? We tested it yesterday. It's an impressive piece of kit. ?? One of the main advantages of the Lagoon system is its simplicity: the furling spindle is not enclosed in a housing, so it is easy to monitor and control hoisting, reefing and furling manoeuvres. And it's lighter than a standard set-up. ?? To use it, the main sheet must be eased, the topping lift employed, you must be heading into the wind (or at least a 30-degree TWA), and you must keep a fair tension on the luff while adjusting the sail. ?? It easier to hoist, lower and reef your mainsail. And it's all operated from the winches. ?? The system has been thoroughly tested over 2 years and has proven to be very reliable. On the 46 and 51 which have the flybridge, this system makes a lot of sense with their higher booms. ?? This is an exclusive system, installed by Lagoon and covered by their warranty. ?? ?? ?? #sailing #innovation #design #sails #testsail

Snapping turtle is not the same as an alligator snapping. Turtle, this is simply just an adult snapping turtle. So it is completely full grown. You can grab the back of its tail to move it as you can see me do in this video. They do not have the same ability to bite down. Hard like an alligator snapping turtle. However, they will definitely hurt you if they get a hold of you. #nature #photography #houseboat #wildlife Snapping Turtle, Forest Tortoise You have to get the turtles out of the road. People hit them without even realizing it. In life unusually the turtle and someone else is helping me. So when I see one of these guys on the road I always stop and help them get across safely. #naturevibes #life #photography #nature #houseboat #dog #lake #swamp #river #exploring #anothertimeanotherplace
