All Experiences on Yacht Week comes with a skipper, like Maxim here. Trained on Quarterdeck and ready to guide you all through a week full of adventures. ================================ Welcome to the best week of your life! This is Yacht Week – an adventure like no other. Explore stunning oceans and islands aboard your very own yacht – with your best mates and hundreds of other beautiful like-minded explorers in convoy. You’ll have your own skipper and the freedom to map your own path for seven days through spectacular beaches, deserted islands and incredible parties. Back in 2006, we were just a bunch of uni friends who wanted to go sailing and explore far and wide. Today, we’re still that same bunch of friends, only now there are 70,000 of us. And our loving family just keeps getting bigger. We have forged a community from adventurous spirits, vast open waters, and a host of musicians, collaborators, sailors and revellers. https://www.theyachtweek.com/ https://www.facebook.com/theyachtweek/ https://www.instagram.com/theyachtweek/ https://twitter.com/theyachtweek/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/day8/ https://www.tiktok.com/@theyachtweek/

Catamarans are the perfect boats to dry out on a beach, or, as many do in tidal areas (including ourselves), use a half tide drying mooring. If the boat has daggerboards then sensibly the rudders should lift to avoid damage, especially if the tide/wind causes waves when refloating. I have used the method seen in this video for 40 years. Very simple and works easily. Please note that this boat is over 30 years old, and I had never tried to lift the rudders with one hand before! Hence the initial hesitation. They would lift more easily if the shafts were greased. A simple snap hook holds the rudder up. Some people use "dinghy style" lifting rudders but that means the blades stick out behind the boat, which has often led to breakages when in a crowded anchorage and unsuspecting dinghies pass in the night. This rudder system works exactly like a conventional semi-balanced rudder when it in the down position. And has the advantage that the whole rudder can be taken off the boat by simply undoing one bolt. And no shaft leaks either! The thin ropes led through blocks to a cleat on the tiller are connected to the outboard. So the engine turns with the rudders, significantly increasing manouverability! I write more about steering systems on my website, see here https://www.sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/19-faqs/sailing-and-performance-questions/109-which-steering-system-should-i-use
