The 70th-anniversary race to Apollo Bay started on time at 6am in 15 knots of wind from the NW. It was MRV that lead the fleet from the start and who were first through the heads. Ginan, Arcadia, Hot Chipps, How Bizarre, Cadibarra, Jaffa and Shimmer are all closely following. The winds are predicted to hold all day making for a fast race and quick race. With all boats safely through the heads, we have Blue Water Tracks providing a quick on water update. Video: Grant Dunoon

This is the new solar panel support option! It allows for 6 370W LG panels to be placed aft of the rigging blocks located on the cockpit roof. I believe this option is only available when going for the "ES" (Extended Scoop) model/option, as that model has more buoyancy aft. The two panels that are in front of the four you can see are mounted athwartship (sideways), which opens up more access to the boom and also makes those panels less likely to be shaded by the boom or mainsail. In addition to the above, it also provides shade/protection for the tender. These supports are made from carbon fiber and then fiberglassed and carbon fibered onto the coach roof and each can support a person hanging from them. Mira is being built with these supports and a total of 8 370W panels. The additional two will be mounted forward on the coach roof; one on the port side, one on the starboard.

On long-distance sailing or ocean racing boats prove that sitting on level surfaces minimises fatigue. Together with 360° horizon visibility and natural ventilation, it significantly improves comfort and reduces seasickness. For this reason, we have developed a lightweight, carbon gimbaled saloon settee, which rotates along the longitudinal axis and compensates for the boat's heel. What is a gimbaled settee? Gimbaled settee mechanism keeps the saloon sofa and table in a levelled position even when the boat is heeled. This is especially important for long ocean passages, when working and sleeping on a levelled surface substantially reduces fatigue. The folding and electrically operated dropping saloon table provides easy seat access or delivers a king-size lounging couch.
