The last 2 times we visited Charleston, it was only for a couple of days. We really didn’t get to spend much time exploring the city and its historic buildings and streets. Since we had a full week, we had plenty of time to walk all over the downtown area. And boy, did we walk! With Sophie in her stroller, we clocked about 25 miles in just the first 3 days there. We were able to explore most of the historic area's landmarks and mansions as well as the beautiful campus of the College of Charleston. We walked through Joe Riley Waterfront Park and Battery Park. Checked out mansions and buildings on South Battery Street, Legare Street, Tradd Street, Church Street, and East Bay Street, also known as "Rainbow Row." We also strolled through the Charleston City Market, one of the nation’s oldest public markets. Established in the 1790’s, the market spans 4 city blocks and is home to over 300 vibrant entrepreneurs. We also took a water taxi over to Patriots Point were we explored the WWII aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, destroyer USS Laffy and the Vietnam Experience Exhibit.

The Horizon E75 motoryacht is an evolution in design of the extremely popular E73 model. With a stylish exterior that follows the successful lines of the E88 motoryacht, the E75’s interior features increased volume and numerous entertaining areas to accommodate a number of guests on board. Entertaining with family and friends becomes a true pleasure with a creative foredeck seating area, exterior bar on the boat deck, and an incredible aft deck for luxurious, shaded relaxation. This is a yacht that defies size perception and provides the amenities and space of a far larger yacht in a profile that will take your breath away.

The Bavaria Virtess 420 is packed with some cool features and lots of innovation. Here are just a few to review. If you would like more information about this powerboat please call Ian Van Tuyl at 1-619-0507-4416. This one had sold but I have another one on its way. For more information please contact Ian Van Tuyl the yacht specialist. Please feel free to contact me at any time day or night and I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully earning your business. 1-(619)-507-4416 ivtyachtsales@gmail.com http://www.ivtyachtsales.com

#sailing #solosailing #howto Let me start by saying that I’m Swiss. So how can someone like me, Swiss, get one of those? We’ve got no ocean, no sea, no coastline. I’m from a country that is landlocked. So how do we do it? Precisely how did I do it? Recently I was commissioned to help a fellow Swiss get his license. And this will help explain and demonstrate the process. Some say it’s The Best Sailing Channel on YouTube! Agree or disagree, make your voice heard. Subscribe, like, dislike, or comment.

So what was I thinking when I installed an LG home-style mini-split air conditioning unit on a SAILBOAT? Well, I was thinking it was a good practical alternative to a marine air conditioning unit at a fraction of the cost! When we needed to bring the temperature down inside 'SOPHISTICATED LADY' during our engine transplant, it fit the bill perfectly and worked so well in fact, that we are still using it! There are many ways to improve your comfort level onboard a small sailboat, and I have been exploring many of them including air conditioning in order to show what is possible in a small living space while making it almost completely self-sustainable off-grid. The Tiny Home revolution is real and growing fast, and with it comes some of the newest and best technologies ever available to increase self-reliant electrical systems using solar generators, solar panels, wind turbines, and more to power all the devices we want to utilize.. so stay tuned because I have some very interesting content coming up for you this season!

We go through more of the actual re-rig in this video. Changing out the wires, fitting a new furler for the yankee and replacing the stay in the old staysail furler. Lots of good tips from Jade and a step by step guide to STA-LOK fittings. There is information on products we used below so you can research what you might need for a rerig. We don't usually go through prices as it make for a boring video and is always dependent on what you need for your boat, where in the world you are buying the products and what deals you can do. But with this I think it's worth doing a break down to give a rough idea of what you might be in for. The prices we've quoted are the basic price from the different companies. We managed to get small discounts on a lot of these products at the boat show & I would say that was really worth doing. And of course STA-LOK and Selden both knew we would be filming their products and giving them some exposure so the discount they gave us may have been bigger than the usual boat show discount (most companies seem to be open to deals at the boat show so it's worth asking!) I am always pleased when a company wants us to film their products, not just because they may give us a better discount but because it means they have faith in their product. We will always say what we think about a product good or bad. We do tend to choose carefully and pick the best products not necessarily the cheapest products, this has worked well for us. In order to get the best advice and techniques to do the work we filmed with Jade Edwards-Leaney from The Boat Shed Wales. He was the rigger for Ian Herbert-Jones's boat 'Puffin' in the Golden Globe Race as well as an emergency re-rigging of Abilash Tomy's boat when it was damaged on the way to the start line. So there's no better rigger to get tips of the trade from. Check out what The Boat Shed Wales for the best rigging services (they can cope with and bespoke challenge!) and they also have an excellent sail loft. https://www.theboatshedwales.co.uk We used STA-LOK for our rigging, we wanted their compression fittings because we think they are the best thing to have on the bottom of all the wire. We also used their wires and had the swage the top fitting because we know you can trust the quality of the stainless steel they use and they have excellent swaging machines. Check them out here: http://www.stalok.com/ We chose Seldens Furlex unit for our yankee. Okay I admit I was smitten with that sexy top furler bearing right from when I saw it at the boat show, but having fitted the unit now I can say it's all made to the same very high standard, it was easy to fit and works like a dream so I'm very glad we chose it. Check out Selden here: https://www.seldenmast.com/ Prices: STA-LOK supplied all the hardware for the standing rigging. So that's all shrouds and stays except for the yankee's forestay which comes with the Furlex unit. We used their wire as it is excellent stainless steel from Korea and they fitted swage fittings to one end of eact. We purchased STA-LOK compression fittings for the bottom fittings (these are all 10mm except for the intermediates and the removable inner forestay) Total cost £6,300 without discount. Selden Furlex : FLX 404S furler with bottom adjuster £6,707 (without VAT, as we were exporting to Montenegro we didn't need to pay VAT in the UK) We had a discount on this price which we negotiated at the boat show in Annapolis. Labour will obviously be an additional cost if you need help fitting and this will be very dependent on the person you employ to do the job and where in the world you are. Jade is a friend and did it at a very good price for us, my advice would be to get the best rigger you can afford. There are too many people out there calling themselves riggers and not having the necessary knowledge so it pays to be careful. Get some knowledge yourself, so you at least know the basics of what you should be seeing (I hope this video can help with that) Also riggers will charge by the hour so get your ducks lined up. Unstep the mast if possible, the job will be quicker in the long run, and do as much work yourself as you can. This job took us three days (Jade says with an experienced helper and not having to film he could do it quicker, but do leave yourself time, it is a boat after-all so there's bound to be snags! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow us on Instagram #svfairisle -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE DO SUBSCRIBE - IT COSTS YOU NOTHING AND HELPS US OUT WITH THE YOUTUBE ALGORITHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rather see our videos without ads?...

SAILING CROATIA Sunken Ship Wrecks Add diving and snorkelling to sailing and Croatia is an even more exciting destination. This wreck is located in the Zadar archipelago, near Veli Rat. A 76 metre long ship sunken and partly submerged. Some say she was stranded in a storm. Others say it was an insurance job. Who knows?! All we know is that it makes for damn good snorkeling!

It was our last few days sailing through the bahamas on our Neel 43 trimaran. There were a few very early morning pre-dawn departures and long sails to get us where we need to be and back to the USA.

Our last week of sailing in New Caledonia before we cross to Vanuatu. In Prony Bay we get company, the Grand Large Media team comes on board and makes a very nice parallel video of our time together.

Si pour nous cette arrivée dans le Pacifique s’est bien passée, ce n’est tristement pas le cas pour nos amis sur leur catamaran Atlantide Catana 🥲 Nous vous partageons, le terrible récit de leur mésaventure 🥲 Leur situation est aujourd’hui critique. Après 10 jours dans une attente insupportable, ils dévoilent leur tragique histoire… Leur rêve s’écroule aux portes du Pacifique 🥲 Ils ont besoin d’un grand soutien et de bienveillance ❤️ « récit de notre journée du 29 avril 15h15 nous passons la dernière écluse de Miraflores nous voilà dans le pacifique, dans 5 jours grand départ pour les Marquises avec nos 4 enfants de 14,11,8 ans et notre petite dernière arrivée en Martinique de 4 mois. 15h20, le pilote du canal ( plutôt désagréable depuis le début de journée) me demande de m'arrêter et de me mettre sur les côté du canal pour laisser passer un Cargo. Dans moins de 5 minutes il doit descendre du bateau, nous sommes juste avant le pont de l'america entre les bouées 17 et 19, j'exécute les ordres sans discuter même si au fond de moi je ne vois pas l'intérêt de m'arrêter puisqu'il y a largement la place pour le cargo de passer et d'ailleurs les 2 autres voiliers avec qui nous sommes passés dans l'écluse continuent leur route. il y a un peu de courant et Atlantide sort très légèrement du canal, je ne m'en inquiète pas étant avec un pilote ( qui on apprendra plus tard n'est en fait pas un pilote) qui doit parfaitement connaître la zone.Il est là pour notre secteur. 15h25, le cargo est passé le pilote me redemande de mettre les gaz,ce que je fais mais dans la seconde qui suit nous sommes posés sur des rochers. Panique à bord ,je commence a m'énerver contre le pilote et lui demande de trouver une solution pour nous sortir de là vu qu'il nous a mis dans cette situation.La marée descend, il a la bonne idée de demander à la lancha qui venait le chercher de nous tracter en arrière. Laetitia lui crie dessus en lui disant que c'est une mauvaise idée, trop tard il nous a encastré dans les rochers et le bateau prend beaucoup d'eau. Les enfants pleurent, la situation est critique car nous prenons vraiment beaucoup d'eau. 16h30 , laetitia ,les enfants et mes parents évacuent le bateau. je reste seul à bord avec le capitaine du port venu organiser les opérations de sauvetage d'Atlantide. Ces opérations de sauvetage vont durer jusqu'à 1h du matin avec la mise en place des pompes puis l'intervention des plongeurs pour colmater la brèche. 1h 30 les équipes du canal me laissent seul sur une bouée. 3 h je rapelle les équipes du canal , un feu s'est déclaré dans les boîtiers à fusibles. j'arrive a contenir le feu. Dans l'urgence j'ai oublié de couper les batteries du bateau ( aucun sauveteur du canal n'y a d'ailleurs pensé). heureusement que je ne m'étais pas endormi 😪, le bateau continue a prendre beaucoup l'eau les plongeurs reviennent et repartiront a 7h du matin. la cagnotte que l'on va mettre en place c'est juste pour les choses non prise en charge par l'assurance a savoir le logement pendant 4 mois, la location de voiture et l'école pour les enfants qui ont tout perdu » Voici le lien de leur Page Facebook https://www.facebook.com/meta.macajou.7
