I’ve never been on a sailboat. Not once. But I’m buying a performance catamaran to live on full-time—solo. Here’s why I’m diving in anyway, how I’m preparing, and what I hope you’ll learn from it. If you're dreaming of boat life but don’t know where to start, this is for you. 👇 Drop a comment if you're boat-curious or already living the dream. — #Hashtags: #BoatLife #SailingJourney #BuyingABoat #LiveaboardLife #SoloSailing #LearningToSail #CatamaranLife #BeginnerSailor #OffGridAdventure #DigitalNomad #MinimalistLife #DreamChasing #money #boatlife #boattrip #boatlifestyle #travel #classicboat #canalboatlife #entrepreneur #boatliving

🇬🇧Due to trauma, I had lost myself but by staying positive, I grew unnoticed to where I am today. Last year, instead of spontaneously going out with friends for two days, I would stay at home and be there for my youngest who by now actually likes having the boat to herself. Being a mother. After the death of my husband, I didn't allow myself to be Vita as well. But that is changing now, unnoticed and it feels good. Damn good! If I want to live life again, I also have to live ‘Vita’ and learn that this is not selfish but makes me a better mother. 🇳🇱Door trauma's was ik mijzelf kwijt maar door positief te blijven ben ik ongemerkt gegroeid tot waar ik vandaag sta. Vorig jaar zou ik niet spontaan twee dagen met vrienden meegaan maar thuisblijven en er voor mijn jongste zijn die inmiddels eigenlijk het juist lekker vind om de boot voor haarzelf te hebben. Moeder zijn. Na het overlijden van mijn man gunde ik het mijzelf niet om ook Vita te zijn. Maar daar zit nu verandering in , ongemerkt en dat voelt goed. Als ik het leven weer wil leven dan moet ook 'Vita' leven en leer dat ik dit niet egoïstisch is maar dat het mij juist een betere moeder maakt. @hellyhansen @hellyhansensailing

Franck Cammas and Charles Caudrelier, who respectively skippered yachts to victory in the 2011-12 and 2017-18 editions of Volvo Ocean Race, return once again as co-skippers of Maxi Edmond de Rothschild to defend their title. Their strength is a highly experienced team and the amount of time they have spent developing and learning the intricacies of their Ultime. “The focus is on the foils and the rudders, but also on the windage,” says Caudrelier. “The improvements we have made in the last two years have been huge. We need big appendages in order to fly early [typically in 14 knots of wind/28 knots boat speed], but then when you fly fast at 40-45 you have problems with cavitation – it’s complicated but we have spent hours and hours working on that and I think the result will be quite good.” In only a little more wind and Maxi Edmond de Rothschild is capable of cranking out 30-40 knot average speeds, the slower end of which would allow her to be comfortably berthed in Cherbourg within 24 hours of starting the Rolex Fastnet Race. The biggest threat aside from Le Blevec’s Actual Leader, are the two new Ultimes launching this year. Freshly out of the shed, Armel le Cleac’h’s brand new Banque Populaire XI Ultime is currently entered in the Rolex Fastnet Race, but will only participate if it fits in their work-up schedule. Meanwhile, incredibly, considering these craft can cost upward of 10 million Euros, a second Ultime is due for launch in the next weeks for Francois Gabart. Gabart is currently looking to secure a sponsor for his new campaign but he is one of the most gifted of French sailors, already with a formidable CV for his 38 years. #RolexFastnetRace © Yann Riou / polaRYSE / Gitana SA / Isegoria
