Blue water, breeze, and a big win. 🌊 Day 2️⃣ of the North Sound Maxi Regatta delivered on its promise—a 26-mile coastal race that started and finished in the heart of the North Sound, threading through islands and tight corners, with conditions that kept tacticians on high alert. Balthasar, powered by North Sails, sailed a smart and steady race to take the win on corrected time, while V claimed line honours. “It was very intense at the beginning—way more breeze than expected,” said North Sails expert Bouwe Bekking, project manager onboard Balthasar. “We nailed our timing at the start and got clear air. That helped us march to the first mark. We’ve done a lot of offshore races, so we know the angles, we know our sail settings. That really helped today.” With two races down and momentum building, Balthasar now leads the fleet—proof that performance, preparation, and precision continue to pay off in the Caribbean’s most scenic battleground. Back at it today. More breeze, more battles, more racing to come. 🏁🌬️ #NorthSails #MaxiRegatta #BitterEndYachtClub #NorthSound #VirginGorda  🎥 Vertigo Films | North Sound Maxi Regatta

Outboard joystick docking systems can be immensely helpful when it comes to squeezing a boat into a tight slip at the end of a long day (especially if wind and current are pitted against you), but not many boaters have actually seen the system in action. Senior editor Lenny Rudow took few minutes to film this quick video showing how two Mercury Joystick Control-enabled outboards get the job done in quick fashion. As you watch, keep in mind that the boat operator isn't adjusting throttles or turning a steering wheel--it's all being done through easy joystick inputs at the helm. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2014/05/mercury-optimus-360-joystick-control-system-video/ For more boating videos, visit http://www.boats.com. boats.com features boat reviews, how-to videos, special features, and information about new boats, boats for sale, and boating products—usually with a dash of fun.
