Depois de muito tempo ancorados na Culatra, percebemos que um distorcedor seria necessário. Não é sempre que ele faz falta, mas em locais onde ficamos mais tempo, ter um faz bastante diferença. Então começamos uma pesquisa para encontrar um distorcedor fosse mais forte que a corrente e a manilha, para não termos um ponto falho. Foi aí que encontramos o S2 da Mantus, perfeito para o nosso sistema. A força de trabalho dele é de 2 toneladas, ou seja: muito mais forte que a nossa corrente. O S2 fica entre a corrente e a âncora, permitindo que ela gire livremente e evitando torções que podem enfraquecer o conjunto. Ele vem desmontado e você mesmo monta na hora da instalação, seguindo os passos indicados. Ele é feito em aço inox 316, super resistente, e deixou nosso sistema de ancoragem ainda melhor!✨ Menos torção, mais segurança, e mais tranquilidade pra curtir a vida a bordo do Utopia. [EN] After spending a long time anchored in Culatra, we realized that a swivel was necessary. It’s not something you always need, but in places where we stay for longer periods, it makes a big difference. So we started researching to find a swivel that was stronger than our chain and shackle, so we wouldn’t have a weak point in the system. That’s when we found the Mantus S2, perfect for our setup. Its working load is 2 tons, which means it’s much stronger than our chain. The S2 sits between the chain and the anchor, allowing the anchor to rotate freely and preventing twists that can weaken the system. It comes disassembled, and you put it together yourself during installation by following the provided steps. Made of 316 stainless steel, it’s super durable and has made our anchoring setup even better! ✨ Less twisting, more security, and more peace of mind to enjoy life aboard Utopia!

In this thrilling 40-second video, delve into the world of Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha, the notorious Aegean pirate captain known as Redbeard. Discover the captivating story of this Greek captain-turned-Ottoman admiral who commanded the seas of the Aegean, Eastern Mediterranean, and North Africa in the 16th century. Brace yourself for an action-packed glimpse into the life of a formidable pirate, as we uncover his daring exploits, his fleet of fast galleys, and the treasures he sought on the high seas. Join us as we unravel the legend of Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha, the feared ruler of the Aegean waves. Piracy in the Aegean Sea was a sophisticated operation that involved a network of pirates, merchants, and other collaborators. The pirates had bases on various islands and the mainland, from where they launched their attacks. They used fast and maneuverable ships, armed with cannons and other weapons, to overpower their targets. Once they captured a ship, they would loot its cargo, including money, precious metals, and slaves. They would then sell the loot to merchants and other traders, who were willing to buy them at a lower price. #shorts #pirates #piratesoftheaegean

During the 2025 Annapolis Sailing Schools BVI Flotilla, there was an event that left everyone both in stitches and in awe. The illustrious Rick Nelson, owner of the Annapolis Sailing School, decided to take matters (and scrub brush) into his own hands to clean the hull of our trusty catamaran. This might have contributed to our fast and smooth sail from Virgin Gorda to Anegada; it was clear that the Admiral's hull cleaning had indeed made all the difference:)
