I love this feature for two reasons; first, it is a great example of how responsive Vision is to customer feedback that can make the boat better, and second, because I had at least a little input in its creation! In a nutshell, they help prevent the running rigging from getting snagged on the rigid solar panel corners. Flexible panels wouldn't have this problem to begin with, but they are nowhere near as efficient, they get hot and they don't last as long. We were very happy to be getting rigid solar panels, but were less than thrilled about having to be super vigilant to prevent a damaged sheet or panel. I believe these clips will fully remove this concern; thanks Grant (Vision Engineer)! Want more?

Very few Liveaboard are going to the forgotten Island. Vaiatea Liveaboard is offering this trip combined with the Banda Sea or Triton Bay even one time a year with Alor. Because of the depth, most of the dives are steep walls covered with an outburst of corals trying to conquer the reef. Marine life is not used to divers, and curiosity might bring them closer to you for a good look. This area is volcanic active, adding to the topography and combination of minerals and nutrients makes that marine life knows its value. Let's explore the best of the Forgotten Islands with Vaiatea Komodo For booking or inquiries: info@vaiatea-liveaboard.com For full information: https://www.vaiatea-liveaboard.com/ #liveaboard #liveaboardindonesia #indonesia #rajampat #komodonationalpark #komodo #alor #privatecharter #boatcharter #luxury #vaiatealiveaboard #halmahera #tritonbay

David Payne of the Australian National Maritime Museum gives us some more inspiration for Australian Sailing Hall of Fame nominations. Today he shows us around Taipan, the 18 foot skiff designed and raced by Bob Miller. Miller, who was later known as Ben Lexcen, used many of the design principles seen in Taipan on the successful Australia II. Make sure you get your Australian Sailing Hall of Fame nominations in before Friday 16 June 👉🏻 http://www.sailing.org.au/australian-sailing-hall-fame/
