This week our boatlife brings us to Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands, where we are anchored right next to Megayacht Feadship - formerly known as Steve Jobs' Yacht 'Venus'. We realized that Italy is not just a sailing destination for charter boats and cruisers but also a stopover for many superyacht owners, who want to get a glimpse of the volcanoes and beautiful coastline of Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi and Panarea. I guess in the sailing lifestyle you always get surprised: One day you see Stromboli erupting right from the deck of your sailboat and the next day you wake up to have Steve Jobs' luxury yacht anchored next to you. But 99% of the time it is doing jobs in exotic places, covered in oil, salt and fiberglass.
All of the 500m World Speed Sailing Records that have been set since 1988. Paul Larsen on Sail Rocket 2 still holds the record at an average of 65.45 kts over half a kilometre, but there are a couple of teams that are challenging for the honours. The current target? 80 knots. ▫️ Do you think they can do it? Which do you think was the most impressive record breaker? ▫️ Was it Paul Larsen smashing the previous record by almost 10 knots? Or maybe Alain Thébault, the first guy over 50 knots? All of these guys must have nerves of steel. Or they're crazy. ▫️ #world #speed #sailing #record #nerves
