This video was taken by the skipper of a 54ft yacht in the Caribbean. The situation was that the skipper questioned the legendary speed under sail of the Shearwater 45, so Steve Hunt, the owner of "Maggy May", challenged him to a race to the next island and gave him a head-start of nearly 40 minutes. This was taken as the 45 sailed past him. It continued through his lee and arrived in port an hour ahead of the 54. See more info at http://dixdesign.com/sh45.htm .

Here's what you need to know: Stockpiled inventory: During the pandemic, a massive amount of equipment and spare parts was overproduced and left sitting in warehouses - for 3 to 5 years in some cases. Aging without use: These items have been exposed to temperature fluctuations, humidity, dust, and natural material degradation. Electronics, batteries, rubber seals, and even metals can break down over time, even if unused. Risk of malfunction: You may be ordering what appears to be "new" equipment, but in reality, it's aged stock that often fails on first use. And warranties may not always cover this kind of damage. • Weak supply chain response: Returning or replacing a faulty item has become more difficult. Shipping delays are still common, logistics are overloaded, and tech support is under strain. What do you think - have you experienced this yourself recently?

A new option is to black anodize or powder-coat the majority of the aluminum and stainless steel fittings located around the boat. The mast, boom, cross-beam, longeron and seagull striker can also be wrapped in a carbon fiber vinyl. These were both first done on Hull 10, "Umbono" (Vision in Zulu) which was launched October 20, 2022. It looks great and provides a very bold look. We have decided not to go this route, but it does look really nice, especially with a non-white hull color! Want more?
