This 25ft Elf catamaran is shown sailing under bare poles in a gale off S Spain on an 800 miles trip home from the Canaries. Note how dry the boat is and how relaxed the singlehander - he's filming it after all! The Elf 25 is a grp catamaran and is now back in production in N France.

We made a 7sqm screecher for our 14ft plywood Zeta trimaran and tried it today. As you can see from the mirror like surface there wasn't much wind! It was all a lash up, I have no cleats for mainsheet or screecher so had to handhold everything. But it sailed well and tacked easily. You can build your own Zeta trimaran from 7 sheets of ply in 150 hours. The boat weighs 73kgs, 160lbs, ex rig.

Sailing in the Bahamas is not all hot and sunny! This video shows the cold front arriving on Jan 23rd. The only good thing was we collected 150L of drinking water in 30 minutes....It could have been more if I had been brave enough to go outside to swap over tanks
