Hydrovane is thrilled to add these uniquely wing-ed sails to our range of offshore gear! Stability, lift, ease of use, fly from 70° to 180° AWA - there are many reasons why these are truly exceptional sails. Especially for a short handed crew. Yes, the first time we hoisted ours was at the dock with hardly a breath of wind. Impressive to see it fly! And we’re even more enthralled using it out on open water 😝 Choose from standard colour patterns or customize with a logo/design like we did.

The Tragic Story of Franz Reichelt and His Failed Parachute Suit Jump from the Eiffel Tower Franz Reichelt, an Austrian-born French tailor, inventor, and parachuting pioneer, died while testing his parachute suit by jumping off the Eiffel Tower in 1912. Reichelt had become fixated on developing a suit for aviators that would convert into a parachute and allow them to survive a fall should they be forced to leave their aircraft in mid-air. Despite numerous efforts to dissuade him, Reichelt was adamant about taking the jump himself. The parachute failed to deploy, and he plunged 187 ft (57 m) to his death. This video tells the tragic story of Franz Reichelt and his failed parachute suit jump from the Eiffel Tower.
Lagoon 43 Test Sail in the Bay of Palma (Mallorca)! ▫️ Lagoon has been testing the #1 hull since March. This new sailing catamaran model has got off to a roaring start. They have already sold 70. So far, seven have been built. ▫️ The master cabin is forward where it is quieter, and thanks to the shaping from VPLP the space in the forward and aft cabins in the guest hull is very similar. Carbon reinforcement has been used in the saloon to open the whole area up: the "In and Out" solution. ▫️ This boat has similar dimensions the 42 (which remains in production for now), with significantly more living area. ▫️ Base price: €499k. Well kitted boat at €610k. ▫️ #boattest #yachts #new #lagoon43 @LagoonCatamarans1984
