The Lassithi Plateau at the island of Crete is a wide, fertile plain over 800 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks, dotted with villages and fields as far as the eye could see. One of the first things we noticed was a row of stone windmills. There were about 20 in view, but once, there were over 10,000 of them! These windmills used to pump water from the ground for irrigation – a lifeline for agriculture here. The Lassithi Plateau has long been the agricultural heart of eastern Crete, with a unique microclimate and plenty of groundwater. Even today, the 18 villages around the plateau live primarily from farming. We flew our drone to capture this sweeping valley from above – the perfect blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity.

The Evinrude MFE (multi fuel engine) is one unusual outboard - it can run on everything from gasoline to Jack Daniels. It can be submerged, drained, and fired right up.

"J'y crois pas. Après tout ce travail, c'est ça qui me rend encore plus triste. C'est pas que moi, c'est toute mon équipe, ma famille, tout le monde qui a travaillé trop dur pour moi. Et c'est pas juste pour tout le monde qui attendait un super Vendée Globe." "I can't believe it. After all this work, that's what makes me the saddest. It's not just about me, it's all my team, my family and all the people who worked very hard for me. It's not fair for everyone who was expecting a great Vendée Globe." "No me lo puedo creer. Después de todo este trabajo, eso es lo que me entristece lo más. No es solo por mi sino por todo mi equipo, mi familia, y todas las personas que trabajaron tanto por mi. No es justo por todo el mundo que esperaba una super Vendée Globe."

While working on its new catamaran line, the shipyard’s in-house designers have been looking for ways to express the spirit of a classic sail yacht through modern marine architecture. As the first drawings were made, the idea became clear. An all-around sailing leisure yacht range ideal for exclusive getaways, charter and transoceanic adventures emerged. Purity, space and light are the essential elements of the newest sail range boasting a combination of exterior and interior areas easily flowing into one another. A clever bridge deck and superstructure design allow for a great onboard comfort potential whereas the generous teak use, high bulwarks and classy lines underscore the modern style with a classic edge. Sunreef Yachts’ latest addition to its already vast offer is a tribute to all those who won’t settle for a mass product. Future Owners will begin their journey with a white canvas. One to fill with ideas, shapes and colours.
