Video showing the Seaway 25 3/4 ounce symmetrical spinnaker.This is an original but very lightly used Supreme Sail. Interestingly the Farr 7500 Spinnaker is of similar size as is the J24. We also discovered the number three headsail on the Seaway 25 is the same size as a Soling headsail too. Useful if you have a Seaway 25 and need to source some sails. #seaway25 #seawaysails #spinnaker #trailableyacht #farr7500

In Part 1 of the Maneuvering a Catamaran series we show the simplest maneuver with a catamaran which is spinning around. These and other animations are embedded in our Catamaran Sailing Confidence course at https://www.nauticed.org/sailing-courses/view/catamaran-sailing-confidence Learn how to spin a catamaran using gears in this step-by-step tutorial from NauticEd, the international leader in sailing and powerboating education. Whether you’re preparing for your first bareboat charter or looking to refine your docking skills, mastering this maneuver is essential for safe, confident boat handling. In this video, we’ll show you exactly how to use forward and reverse gears on a twin-engine catamaran to rotate the boat on its own axis. This technique is critical for tight-space maneuvering, docking, and leaving slips, especially when wind or current makes control more challenging. You’ll learn: How to position the throttles for a controlled spin The difference between port and starboard engine use #catamaran #bareboatcharter #sailing

Olly is training for #foilingweek at Lake Garda next month. He will be competing in the #SFT pumpfoiling division. Shayne has helped him build a new board for the event. It should weigh 700g when finished which is incredibly light. They still need to finish off the last skins before they can weigh the finished product. Every night Olly is on the water, practicing for speed and agility around the buoys. We even made a t-shirt for the event so we can support him. If you would like to support Olly you can check out his "The Jandal" tee on our youtube channel.

UK Sailmakers uses very powerful 3-D CAD/CAM software for sail design, which create virtual 3-D molds that can be digitally sliced into two-dimensional panels that when joined back together re-create a full-size version of the designed mold. Thanks to powerful 3-D graphic renderings, designers can see how sail fit around the spreaders and shrouds as well as make sure the clew height and sheeting angles are right. They can also analyze how a main and genoa work together to make sure the boat stays balanced. What we are looking for is a sailplan and sail shapes that put the maximum driving force in precisely the right place to produce a perfectly balanced boat – and with the least amount of drag. Pat Considine, UK Sailmakers’ chief designer, goes a step further and uses Fluid Structural Interaction software, called FSI for short, as a virtual wind tunnel for refining sail designs and sail construction. FSI calculations are used to test proposed designs and cloth choices to make sure they are not built too strong (too heavy) or too weak (too light) for their expected loads. The FSI calculations will predict whether a design and construction will keep its shape properly as the rig bends, halyards are tightened and sheets are trimmed. Shown rotating in this video are two renderings of a Tripp 47 mainsail design. The side-by-side comparison shows the sail with no backstay tension and with max backstay trim. The FSI software allows Pat to rotate the two designs together to study their shape from any angle. In this case, Pat needed to be sure the draft would not move too far aft as the sail was flattened; likewise, he had to make sure the draft was not too far forward when the backstay was eased completely. The FSI program has made extremely accurate predictions of how specific sail designs will perform once made and trimmed in a variety of wind speeds. These tests ensure sails will meet the performance needs right out of the bag.
