Where You Can Still Be The First Yacht Ever Anchored At An Island Paradise

We sail to a complex of reefs in remote Sulawesi, Indonesia and discover a great anchorage at a tiny island. Here we are enthusiastically welcomed by the villagers, who tell us we are the very first westerners ever to visit their stunning home. They proudly showed us around their small but truly beautiful island where seaweed farming and fishing are the central way of life. After an all to short stay, we sail further north to Bojowe Harbour on the Sulawesi mainland where we race to anchor before a fierce monsoonal storm that strikes with big winds and driving rain. Did we make it? Let’s call it a draw. We have just begun our exploration of this, the world’s 11th largest island but already we have fallen in love with sailing this remote area populated by such warm, welcoming people. Thank you so much for watching. You’re the guys and girls who float our boat and keep us motivated.

Do you know your Code Sails? Swipe 10 pics with info on these light wind power units. Cruising and performance sailors on yachts—especially those sailing catamarans—are increasingly turning to Code sails to fill the power gap between traditional headsails (genoas and above all self-tacking solents) and downwind spinnakers. ▫️ These free-flying, furling sails combine versatility, relative ease of use, and performance across a range of wind angles in lighter winds. ▫️ But with names like Code 0, Code 65, 55, Code D, “screecher”, "reacher" and “gennaker” floating around, what do these terms actually mean? ▫️ Let’s break it down by sail type, wind angle suitability, and best use cases. ▫️ Term Screecher slang for flat Code sails (typically Code 65 or Code 0) Gennaker - Generic asymmetric sail between genoa and spinnaker; a.k.a a Code D SMG - Sail Mid-Girth (% of foot); defines sail depth. ▫️ What's your favourite light wind sail? #Sails #academy #learnsailing
