Quem gosta de festa levanta a mão! 🙋‍♀️ E quando junta com veleiro fica ainda mais divertido. Por isso, abriremos vagas pra tripulação que quiser acompanhar a chegada dos veleiros da @theoceanrace aqui em Itajaí. 💵R$600,00/pessoa 🚨VAGAS LIMITADAS 🗓️Previsão de chegada das equipes 01/04. Podendo ser alguns dias antes ou depois. Lhe informaremos a data correta mais próximo do dia. A the ocean race é a maior regata (corrida de veleiros) do mundo e acontece desde de 1973. Os barcos literalmente dão a volta ao mundo e tem como a maior e mais difícil etapa chegar até Itajaí, a única parada na América Latina. São cerca de 12 mil milhas náuticas (23 mil km) somente nessa etapa da prova, que sai de Cabo Verde - África do Sul e chega em Itajaí. Mas engana-se quem pensa que eles farão o trajeto mais curto que seria atravessar o atlântico, eles virão pelo outro lado, passando pelo oceano Índico, pacífico e finalmente chegando ao Atlântico. Dos 5, 4 veleiros continuam na disputa. O GUYOT(EUR) teve um problema estrutural e precisou suspender temporariamente há cerca de 600 milhas de Cabo Verde. Já da pra imaginar a emoção dessa chegada, né? Vem com a gente ⛵

Capricious wind conditions push the lucky boats ahead and leave the others stranded in frustration.

The first sea trials of the 67-metre @heesenyachts built Sparta were a unique moment. Shooting this elegant yacht from the heli was surreal! With her sporty design by @winchdesign_wd, she is Heesen's largest steel yacht to date. Video by @griffioenphotography

Catamarans are the perfect boats to dry out on a beach, or, as many do in tidal areas (including ourselves), use a half tide drying mooring. If the boat has daggerboards then sensibly the rudders should lift to avoid damage, especially if the tide/wind causes waves when refloating. I have used the method seen in this video for 40 years. Very simple and works easily. Please note that this boat is over 30 years old, and I had never tried to lift the rudders with one hand before! Hence the initial hesitation. They would lift more easily if the shafts were greased. A simple snap hook holds the rudder up. Some people use "dinghy style" lifting rudders but that means the blades stick out behind the boat, which has often led to breakages when in a crowded anchorage and unsuspecting dinghies pass in the night. This rudder system works exactly like a conventional semi-balanced rudder when it in the down position. And has the advantage that the whole rudder can be taken off the boat by simply undoing one bolt. And no shaft leaks either! The thin ropes led through blocks to a cleat on the tiller are connected to the outboard. So the engine turns with the rudders, significantly increasing manouverability!
