CLUB MARINE TV YouTube Channel https://youtu.be/5BSgCX75dHk On a summer’s day when Sydney Harbour showed off its emerald waters at their sparkling best, a small but competitive fleet of four yachts engaged in an intense arm wrestle that lasted little more than an hour for the annual SOLAS Big Boat Challenge. In a battle of cut and thrust between the two super maxis at the front of the race it was Peter Harburg’s Black Jack that eventually won out, crossing the line some 43 seconds ahead of her near twin, the Oatley family’s Wild Oats XI. Wild Oats XI’s little sister Wild Oats X took out the overall handicap win, but it was Gavin Brady the sailing master of the fourth yacht in the fleet, Karl Kowk’s Botin 80 Beau Geste, that captured the essence of this event and just why it is more than a one-off spectacle, ‘There’s nowhere else in the world you will ever see a group of maxis like this sailing in a confined environment. Racing in Sydney Harbour puts a lot of pressure on a team and I believe it’s a big contributor to success in the Hobart.’ The Bow Caddy media team took to the water and the air to paint a picture of the energy, action and pressure of this remarkable event that Brady persuasively alludes to.

Modern, Luxury and Performance Our new A44 will take in the catamaran range a special place thanks to its design and the preliminary study that was carried out by the couple of our STGI / Aventura shipyard and the famous Samer Laster architect. Designed for performance, with low draft and exact width to explore new area, the lines are resolutely fluid and tight with important glass surfaces openings and amenities that give pride of place to space and comfort. Elegance and confort Behind the sliding doors is the large and safe cockpit with a table and plenty comfortable seating. Each hull has an integrated bathing platform with easy access to the water. At the forward end of the catamaran we find large trampolines and deck space for relaxation and enjoyment. The sails are handled from the helmsman’s seat to the left side of the cockpit. From there is good visibility for maneuvers and handling the catamaran. With its streamlined hull and standard high-end equipment, the Aventura 44 does not neglect performance for long-distance sailing. For more info visit https://coralyboats.com
