On the way upwind to the second mark of the annual Quoile Yacht Club Regatta a couple of the Glenn fleet were locked in close battle. The J109 Going to Red slipped by both of then to leeward with the rear camera picking up a close tussle between the Glen's. We have a lot to thank Alfred Mylne for and are luck to have so many of the Glen class which were designed and built in the 1940's on the lough and racing regularly. The bottom up boats crew always have a smile on their faces when we glide by some of these timeless beauties.

At Orust Sailboat Show with Open Yard / Öppet Varv in Ellös Sweden 26-28 August 2022 there is world premiere for the first Hallberg-Rassy, a 340, with PU teak. This is something new that doesn’t look or feel as anything new, but as a Hallberg-Rassy has always looked like. Hallberg-Rassy now offer EcoDeck, which is a strong, flexible, solvent free, UV-proof polyurethane resin based decking and caprail system. This viscous-elastic composite material has a stylish and warm effect with a seamless and durable finish. PU teak is made of polyurethane, which is more durable and non-skid than a PVC deck. PU teak has been used for years on superyachts. Traditional teak deck and teak caprail are still available as an option. https://www.hallberg-rassy.com/news/news/ecodeck-new-and-at-the-same-time-as-it-always-has-been

The team travelled to Turkey a couple of weeks ago to film Mengi Yay’s 42 meter steel hulled sailing yacht “LEGATO”. I usually associate motor yachts with this shipyard, but they made a great job of this sailing vessel as Katia Damborsky found out when she spoke to the Fraser Yachts brokers representing her: David LeGrande and Alain Auvere.

Start by finding a structurally sound boat and addressing common issues like soft decks, keel bolts, and steering through DIY repairs learned from online tutorials. Enroll in a sailing school and work toward a recognized certification such as ASA or RYA, gaining real-world practice through local courses and short trips until you’re confident as a skipper. Unless you're crazy and want to try to do it yourself like everyone else and learn the ropes. Plan your route—most often from ICW to Florida across the Gulf Stream—taking into account weather windows, navigation, and safety protocols to ensure a smooth and enjoyable passage to the Bahamas. :) Message us with any questions or subscribe/check out our channel!
