When we sailed the island of Lefkas in the Ionic Sea of Greece, on the most southeastern side of the island, is an islet called Atokos. This is an uninhabited island, where on the east coast is the famous Wild Pig Beach. We took our dinghy and looked at the pigs that walked on the beach here. The pigs are wild or semi-wild pigs, probably descendants of animals that were once left on the island by humans. This happens more often on uninhabited islands, where pigs are introduced for food purposes or accidentally stranded by ship voyages. Atokos has been uninhabited for a long time, but in the past it was occasionally visited by shepherds or hunters. The pigs may have come from these. They eat a wide range of plants, seeds, roots and nuts that occur in nature. On Atokos vegetation is sparse, but pigs can eat dried grass and branches. Marine life can also be a source of food; some pigs eat washed-up seaweed or small crustaceans. Although pigs are technically wild, they often exhibit semi-tame behaviors when they come into contact with people. Their behavior depends on how much interaction they have had with visitors. They can tolerate human contact, but often remain wary. Some pigs are curious and dare to approach, especially if they smell food!

Découvrez le système de réglage de grand-voile de l’OVNI 490 ! Un système à double écoute sur palan qui remplace le rail, pour un réglage 3D précis et une navigation plus sûre. Dans cette vidéo, Luc JURIEN, Directeur Général d'Alubat, vous présente le système de double écoute sur palan, monté sur point fixe, installé sur l’OVNI 490 et sur l’ensemble de la gamme OVNI pour le réglage de la grand-voile. Ce dispositif ingénieux permet de s’affranchir du rail de grand-voile tout en offrant un réglage 3D précis et efficace. ✅ Les points forts de ce système : + Un réglage fin et précis de la grand-voile + L'écoute sous le vent agit comme une retenue de bôme, améliorant la sécurité + Une fonction de hale-bas naturel tant que la bôme reste entre les deux points d’écoute + Au grand largue, le hale-bas classique reprend son rôle + Un système robuste, simple et sécurisant en navigation 👉 Dans cette vidéo, Luc vous explique en détail son fonctionnement et ses avantages, tant sur le plan de la performance que de la sécurité. N’hésitez pas à poser vos questions en commentaire et à partager vos retours d’expérience si vous naviguez déjà avec ce type de gréement. 👍 Abonnez-vous pour découvrir d’autres vidéos autour de la voile et des voiliers OVNI. - - - In this video, Luc JURIEN, CEO of Alubat, presents the double-ended mainsheet system with tackles, mounted on fixed points, fitted on the OVNI 490 and across the entire OVNI range. This clever setup eliminates the need for a mainsheet traveller while allowing for precise 3D trimming of the mainsail. ✅ Key advantages of this system: + Fine and accurate mainsail trimming + The leeward sheet serves as a preventer, enhancing safety + Acts as a natural boom vang as long as the boom remains between the two sheet points + When sailing downwind, the conventional boom vang takes over + A system that is robust, simple, and safe at sea 👉 In this video, Luc explains in detail how this system works and its advantages, both in terms of performance and safety. Feel free to leave your questions in the comments and share your feedback if you’re already sailing with this setup. 👍 Subscribe to discover more videos about sailing and OVNI yachts.
