The Catamaran is a tri-lingual portal publishing work by journalists from all over Sri Lanka. Stories in English, Sinhalese and Tamil provide background and add analysis to the most interesting stories in the country. Original reporting is available for free syndication to Sri Lankan and international media, the aim being to give novice reporters exposure and help experienced local journalists reach a wider audience. Bringing journalists from different Sri Lankan communities together strengthens vital ties and increases opportunities for collaboration, as well as contributing to capacity building in the Sri Lankan media sector.

Lady Mona K, built in 1986 by Dutch shipyard Amels, was a real ground-breaking yacht for her time and continues to be a luxury leader today. With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she features naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design and interior and exterior design from the sketch book of Jon Bannenberg. This twin screw superyacht measures 57.7 metres and can accommodate up to 12 guests. Originally christened with the name Lady Ghislaine, there is no doubt that she is the work of the late Jon Bannenberg with her distinctive sculpted mast complex, vertical windows and mullions, lozenge-shaped ports and well-flared bow. Her design features bold use of symmetry and asymmetry that results in unique spaced that manage create a feeling of intimacy despite their generous spaciousness. One of the highlights of her design is an upper deck gymnasium that can be kept open or completely enclosed. Another attractive feat owed to the brilliance of Bannenberg is a clever use of space that allows for much more internal volume one would expect, evident in the grand observation lounge found forward on the upper deck or the generous accommodations located below. Amongst her six cabins are a lavish master stateroom; four double cabins; and one twin cabin. Luxury yacht Lady Mona K is powered by two Caterpillar 3516 DI-TA engines that allow her to reach a maximum speed of 15.5 knots. She can achieve a range of 3,800 nautical miles while cruising at a speed of 14 knots. Lady Mona K has been built Lloyd’s Register classification.

Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this short lesson clip, you see us sailing to windward and tacking our way upwind. You cannot sail a boat directly into the wind. The closest you can sail to the wind is roughly 45 degrees (depending on the boat) either side of the wind. If you want to go somewhere that is upwind you have to tack your way to your destination. Tacking is where you put the bow of the boat through the wind and the sails change sides. You end up sailing a zig zag course to get to where you want to go. ** About the RYA Competent Crew course in Southampton ** The RYA Competent Crew course is the perfect introduction for beginners who want to get into sailing and is specifically designed for those with little to no sailing experience.
