Last week Slava and I visited Riga in Latvia to film Latitude Yachts amazing catamaran “LANIAKEA”. These guys really know what they are doing, having also successfully completed two very cool but very unusual 53m trimarans called “Galaxy” and “Galaxy of Happiness”…maybe you’ve seen them! It was a great opportunity to outline the process for constructing such an ambitious project!

Squall lines can quickly triple the amount of wind you’re dealing with and have the potential to do damage if you’re caught unprepared. Once the squall hits, preparation is over and it’s up to reactive seamanship skills. While your strategy should depend on many factors (your boat, sea conditions, proximity to land, etc.) here are a few things that are helpful in most circumstances: 1. Reduce sail area early. Considering dropping sails entirely depending on conditions. 2. Ensure the crew puts on proper gear such as Lifejackets, Foul weather jackets, tethers, etc. 3. Take note of where you are & where you were sailing to. Be aware of any nearby shoals or reefs. 4. Prepare for poor visibility. Turn on running lights, monitor VHF ch16, have an airhorn accessible, etc. What else would you add to this list?
