The double stepped hull and wave piercing bow ensure a comfortable and dry ride through the Haulover inlet. Where other powercats burry their bow and scoop up water, the HammerCat eats the chop for lunch! # haulover #centerconsole #outboards #miamiboats #florida #waves #powercat #freemanboats #invincibleboats #worldcat

One of my new favourite knots is the Zeppelin Bend, for tying 2 ropes together. It's a very strong knot from the late 18th century that was used to secure Zeppelin airships full of hydrogen or helium to the ground. This video will quickly show you how to tie one. .... This knot can cope with a huge strain and it won't jam under load, meaning you can untie it in an emergency: it's the Mother of all knots. ... Zeppelins were up to 3 times longer than a 747. That's quite a force for a knot. Sure, you can just use a Sheet Bend for the same purpose, but why ask Mr Bean for help when you know Schwarzenegger? Anyway, this knot has a great back story and a cool name: the Zepper!

North Sails and Water Tribe have formed a powerful partnership and are working together on the ‘Free The Sea’ project in order to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our oceans from plastic pollution. Since 2001, Water Tribe has been a leading tour operator in the creation of tourism services mainly related to the world of sailing. They offer a wide range of itineraries and fun activities aimed at young people, adults and families for sailing adventures all over the world.This summer, Water Tribe is sailing around Greece. Sailing enthusiasts and crew members will be involved in awareness-raising activities, including beach cleaning operations aimed at fostering a new sense of understanding and consumer education to change and protect our oceans from plastic pollution. Everyone will be provided with a North Sails bag for collecting plastic waste on the beaches and also a stylish ‘Free The Sea’ t-shirt from our capsule collection. This collection is made from recycled materials, specifically Recover Blue – an innovative yarn created from 100% recycled cotton and PET bottles. During the trips, non- compostable bags and single-use plastic objects, including glasses, plates and, straws, will all be banned on board. Water reserves will also be optimised by using 10-litre bottles that will reduce plastic by 90%.

Prepping for the ultimate 2025 challenge! 🚤🌸 After 5 incredible years cruising Japan on my Gibsea 402, I’m gearing up for Chasing the Cherry Blossom 2, a journey to sail the length of Japan during Sakura Season—25 years after doing it by bicycle. 🗾 This haulout in Okinawa is to ready my boat (and myself) for the adventure of a lifetime as I celebrate turning 70! 💪⛵ Follow along for every step of this epic odyssey! 🌊 This is day 11 and 12 of the haul out. I actually splashed on day 8, but on the next day, I discovered a problem, and so tomorrow I have to haul out again. Are you a `never-too-later` like me?
