BayCruiser 21 The smallest boat among the nominees is also the most versatile: with the ballast centreboard and rudder raised, the British boat with its cuddly retro look is just 25 centimetres deep and can therefore be slipped in shallow shore areas. Thanks to the carbon rig with Dyneema shrouds, setting the mast is also easy. If the 400 litre water ballast tank remains empty, the BayCruiser has a very good power-to-weight ratio (sail carrying capacity 5.2). Hull length: 6.01 m; overall length: 6.01 m; waterline length: 5.67 m; width: 2.18 m; draught: 0.25-1.50 m; weight/with water ballast: 0.6/1.0 t; sail area: 19.0 m2; STZ/m. Water ballast: 5.2/4.4; Price: 39,210 euros.
It`s Cherry blossom season in Japan. Each spring, people gather under the sakura with friends, family, and colleagues—celebrating their beauty while knowing it will soon pass. The blossoms are fleeting. A reminder that life is, too. But not everything fades. Legacy lasts. This video is part of a new chapter. After years of sailing under Pacific Solo, I’m now beginning a transition toward Japan Solo—a journey across Japan exploring longevity, community, and what it means to live well and leave something that remains. A formal announcement will be made on April 10. About me: I’m Lowell Sheppard, 71, sailor, author, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. I’m the Founder of the Never Too Late Academy and Special Advisor to the International Forum. After years living aboard my boat Wahine, I’m now traveling across Japan exploring longevity, purpose, and the art of living well at every stage of life. #JapanSolo #CherryBlossoms #Sakura #Longevity #NeverTooLate #JapanTravel #LifeLessons #Legacy #SlowTravel #FieldNotes #Japan
