For anyone visiting Corsica, the calanques de Piana are a must-see. Listed by UNESCO, this is one of the most beautiful places in Corsica. The steep red cliffs offer a beautiful landscape and we also had a beautiful view of the mountains from the catamaran at anchor below the town of Piana. Especially when we lifted our drone at the end of the afternoon, the orange colors are even more enhanced by the low sun.

Dans cette vidéo, Luc JURIEN, Directeur Général d'Alubat, vous présente le système de double écoute sur palan, monté sur point fixe, installé sur l’OVNI 490 et sur l’ensemble de la gamme OVNI pour le réglage de la grand-voile. Ce dispositif ingénieux permet de s’affranchir du rail de grand-voile tout en offrant un réglage 3D précis et efficace. ✅ Les points forts de ce système : + Un réglage fin et précis de la grand-voile + L'écoute sous le vent agit comme une retenue de bôme, améliorant la sécurité + Une fonction de hale-bas naturel tant que la bôme reste entre les deux points d’écoute + Au grand largue, le hale-bas classique reprend son rôle + Un système robuste, simple et sécurisant en navigation 👉 Dans cette vidéo, Luc vous explique en détail son fonctionnement et ses avantages, tant sur le plan de la performance que de la sécurité. N’hésitez pas à poser vos questions en commentaire et à partager vos retours d’expérience si vous naviguez déjà avec ce type de gréement. 👍 Abonnez-vous pour découvrir d’autres vidéos autour de la voile et des voiliers OVNI. - - - In this video, Luc JURIEN, CEO of Alubat, presents the double-ended mainsheet system with tackles, mounted on fixed points, fitted on the OVNI 490 and across the entire OVNI range. This clever setup eliminates the need for a mainsheet traveller while allowing for precise 3D trimming of the mainsail. ✅ Key advantages of this system: + Fine and accurate mainsail trimming + The leeward sheet serves as a preventer, enhancing safety + Acts as a natural boom vang as long as the boom remains between the two sheet points + When sailing downwind, the conventional boom vang takes over + A system that is robust, simple, and safe at sea 👉 In this video, Luc explains in detail how this system works and its advantages, both in terms of performance and safety.

From calm seas to chaos in a heartbeat 🌊🚤—a submerged obstacle shattered our boat’s daggerboard, turning a beautiful day into a life-changing emergency in the middle of the Atlantic. This experience taught me the importance of safety over speed. Never compromise on safety—choose retractable daggerboards! ⚓️ #SailingLife #NEELtrimarans #multihullsailing #cruising #shorts
