Reefing lines are important on a sailboat because they enable us to reef down the main sail (reduce sail area) when in strong winds. We had accidentally crossed two of our reefing lines when we rerouted them to make place for our new staysail halyard. This faux pas meant Adam couldn't reef our main sail when he needed. Although conditions were fine at the time, we're lucky he caught this now and we avoided a serious situation that could have occurred because of this mistake.

Grocery shopping when you live on a boat can be a bit of a mission, so one of the most useful things we have aboard is our Tipke folding cart (link below). It's fantastic for grocery shopping and getting fuel when there's no fuel dock around. We've had ours since Gibraltar in March 2022 and haven't regretted it for a second - it makes provisioning at anchor or even a marina so much easier! See the Tipke Folding Cart here: https://amzn.to/3XirYe1 Now that we're in St Martin in the tropical Caribbean islands, we've been using it to visit the local SuperU and pick up provisions as well as a few French treats!

? Full report in Multihulls World N°201: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/cmc-race-and-rally-2025-the-fun-rendezvous-for-multihulls ? For its sixth edition, the CMC hasn't set the record the number of participants, with 23 multihulls registered. On the other hand, the atmosphere both on and off the water has never been better. The trade winds, in fine form at between 20 and 25 knots, undoubtedly had something to do with it... The five entrants in CSA 1 enjoyed superb courses towards Saba, Saint-Barts and Anguilla. The HH66 Lee Overlay Partners (ex Nemo) put on a great show, impressively flying a hull and, above all, peak speeds pushing 30 knots. The Gunboat 72 Layla was not to be outdone, with her GPS recording a top speed of 24.5 knots. The La Grande-Motte shipyard's first flybridge catamaran won the overall race on corrected time. The Diam 24 fleet was of course severely tested by the choppy conditions, but there too, they put on quite a show. In this fury of spray and exciting runs, the crew of Anomaly came out on top, leaving their rivals with no chance of a rematch. For the past two years, the CMC has been running a second division called Rally. This year, the 9 participants were accompanied - and looked after - by our Marketing Director Gwen Dorning. The fleet headed to Phillipsburg, where beach games were organized on the first day, followed by a fireworks display in the bay, then headed for Anse Marcel and finally Saint-Barts - a dream program which is already scheduled for next year, with dates running from January 29 to February 1. ?
