#89 Le Ressort fantôme de Dholhiyadhoo English text below Une nouvelle semaine, une nouvelle île, nous sommes à Dholhiyadhoo. Cette île aurait du connaître une expansion phénoménale mais les financiers et les banques en ont décidé autrement ! Un énorme complexe 5 étoiles d'une centaine de bungalows grand luxe aurait du voir le jour en 2011, mais les investisseurs n'ont pas suivi le projet pharaonique. Du coup l'ile a été laissé à l'abandon et est à vendre pour 50 millions de dollars US. Alors bonne promenade dans cet environnement fantôme. Et toujours de l'humour et de la gaîté à bord. Passez une excellente semaine. # 89 The Phantom Spring of Dholhiyadhoo A new week, a new island, we are in Dholhiyadhoo. This island should have known a phenomenal expansion but the financiers and the banks decided otherwise! A huge 5-star resort of around a hundred luxury bungalows should have seen the light of day in 2011, but investors did not follow the pharaonic project. Suddenly the island was abandoned and is for sale for 50 million US dollars. So have a good walk in this ghost environment. And always humor and gaiety on board. Have a great week.

** NOW SOLD ** Silver Lining is a 2014 Beneteau Sense 55 listed exclusively for sale with YOTI on Pittwater. Silver Lining presents in impressive condition and has been set up for both swift easy sailing and blue water cruising. The inventory is comprehensive and importantly has been significantly updated recently. The Sense 55 blends the very best features of a Deck Saloon and a modern layout. This is an ultra stylish yacht which is very easy to simply be on board and boasts an extensive level of practical features. The Leisure Furl in-boom furling main system and the self-tacking headsail make for seriously easy sailing. The bow thruster and the Yamnar engine with ‘Dock and Go’ capability make for simple manoeuvring under power. All four winches are electric. This is a yacht designed to be sailed shorthanded while the hull speed, long waterline, twin rudders and a flexible sail plan (there’s also genoa tracks) make for exhilarating sailing – there’s plenty here to keep a podium hungry crew interested if race weeks are on the agenda. There is a furling Code 0 and asymmetric spinnaker which are stored in the forward sail locker. Silver Lining is a fully air-conditioned three cabin / three head layout with impressive accommodation spaces even in the guest cabins. The owner’s cabin forward includes private head and shower spaces which are completely separated port and starboard. There are retractable TV’s in both the saloon and owners cabin. The galley is the best we’ve seen on a production yacht of this size – large, practical, beautiful and safe. The cockpit is accessed by simply stepping on board from the dock. The twin cockpit tables are an intelligent and functional feature (with the starboard table able to electrically lower to form a day bed). Visibility is excellent while the cockpit is also very well protected by a full dodger (supported by the mainsheet arch), bimini and infill. There is a huge storage ‘cabin’ under the port side of the cockpit – the best thing about this space is it’s designed to double for just that; an additional cabin if needed (the ultimate teenage retreat!). Brand new updates in just 2020 include a water maker, stainless steel davits, bimini, solar panels, house batteries, and genoa furler. Both fuel and water tanks were factory upgraded on original order (830L fuel, 970L water) which allow for a massive cruising range. There is a Zodiac with 15Hp outboard, an Onan generator, life raft and lots of extras that truly make for a sail away package (think two fold-up bikes, tools, a Karcher pressure washer, and quality cutlery and crockery). Silver Lining presents a very tempting offer for a larger cruising yacht which is incredibly well specified for ocean adventures, race week excitement, or simply easy and very comfortable family sailing. Contact YOTI on info@yoti.com.au or (02) 9960 6222 for further details and to arrange inspection in a marina pen on Pittwater.

Boat Name: Chimaera Length: 46 ft. 9 3/8 in. Beam: 10 ft. 5 in. Draft: 6 ft. 9 in. Year Built: 1967. Chimaera is a sloop rig that was built for Frederick Leibhardt, specifically to outrace other San Diego boats like Sally. “We built it here in Driscoll Boat Works in San Diego,” said John Driscoll, the boat’s owner. “The man that had built it was an architect, but my dad, Gerry Driscoll, knew how to make the boat look right so he did the design and sent it back to Sparkman and Stephens, who added on to it from there.” “I actually worked on it myself as a kid, building it I didn’t do much, maybe handed a few screws to the carpenter,” John Driscroll added. “I remember being on the boat and being in disbelief by how responsive it was – you pushed the helm down and the boat moved.” Chimaera’s design copied elements of Intrepid, the 1967 America’s Cup defender, whose rudder was separated from the keel.“It was a major breakthrough in boating technology,” Driscoll explained. Chimaera was carvel planked, but unique in that the outside of the hull was forged in compressions, instead of calking. “That technique wasn’t widely used, I think we might have even invented,” Driscoll said. “It made for a tighter hull with no calking and no cracks on the seams.” Notable Moments in Boat’s History: Chimaera’s first long distance race was the San Diego to Acapulco Race. The crew was comprised of the “who’s who” of North American yachting :Gerry Driscoll, founder of Driscoll Boat Works and skipper of four America’s Cup defender races; Lowell Orton North, founder of North Sails and Olympic Gold Medalist in the Star Class; , renowned yacht designer, Olin Stephens; Gene Trepte, and Liebhardt. “They led a good part of the race, then parked outside of Acapulco and didn’t make it,” Driscoll said. The crew came in second. Chimaera went on to win the Lipton Cup Regatta in 1970 and placed top two in the Ahmanson Cup Regatta in Newport Beach, Calif., and won most of the local races in San Diego and took every major championship in the area including the Rumsey Regatta and the entire series of individual races that led up to it. The boat continues its racing legacy “Currently we’re doing all the Ancient Mariner stuff,” Driscoll said, who’s been commodore of the Ancient Mariner Sailing Society since December 2013. “We do the whole ancient mariner circuit , which includes the Guinea Cup Race, a seven race series in San Diego Bay; then we got the YesterYear Regatta in June; the Kettenburg & Classic Yacht Regatta – that one’s cool because you get to see all the old boats.”

** NOW SOLD ** Spartan is a 2007 Beneteau First 34.7 offered exclusively for sale with YOTI on Pittwater. The First 34.7 is both a proven performer and an ideal compromise between a racer and weekend fun machine / family cruiser. Spartan boasts the factory carbon rig which was freshly clear coated in just 2018 along with all new rod rigging (replaced, not simply checked). There are two poles, one is carbon plus the retractable carbon bow sprit. Running rigging and most blocks were also replaced at time of re-rigging. Spartan lives under a boat cover in a marina pen. The sail wardrobe is solid and includes a new Norths 3DI main (mid-2019), Doyle main, a new Norths 3DI light (mid-2019), additional #1Light, #1 heavy, #3, #4 plus both asymmetrical and symmetrical kites. There is also a cruising main and genoa. The interior is in Pearwood and is the solid and familiar fit out that we love from this generation of Beneteau. There’s a practical galley, a proper nav station, large double aft enclosed cabin plus open aft cabin to port, two saloon berths, large saloon folding table and very generous head. Spartan is an optimised and improved example. There is an all new Farr designed rudder installed in 2019 – critical to being a truly competitive 34.7. An auto-pilot (which links to the chart plotter) was installed in 2019 along with AIS and a new VHF and Fusion stereo. Contact YOTI for details and to arrange inspection on Pittwater on (02) 9960 6222 or info@yoti.com.au

Want to be the first to know all our boat building secrets? Become a Patron now!! https://www.patreon.com/mjsailing When we first bought the components for our build, we were sure we'd be using dual outboards for propulsion. But, now we've found ourselves with a set of diesel engines. The more we started researching, the less outboard engines sounded appealing to us ... and when a set came up for sale after being removed from a new catamaran, we jumped on the chance to buy them. They may not be what we end up with, but at least we have them now, and at a reasonable price (compared to buying new diesel engines). Before heading out to Maine to pick them up though, we really get to work on the Viking, and Matt cuts out the core up in the v-berth. The rotting up there is incredibly bad, and it will need to sit with a dehumidifier for quite some time before we can go to work again patching it up. We hope you enjoy! Much love from Annapolis!

** NOW SOLD ** Lying in Manly QLD, in a near new condition, Chubby Bunny is a 2018 Lagoon 450S exclusively listed for sale with team YOTI Queensland. This much sought-after Owners version, 3 cabin Lagoon 450 Sportop was sailed in 2018 from Europe into the Pacific, where the current and second owner picked her up, cruised the islands and imported her into Australia. This vessel is fully optioned and turnkey. She comes with the upgraded 57Hp Yanmar engines with low hours, a 10kva Generator, Air conditioning, Watermaker, washer/dryer machine, 2 electric winches, full B and G instrumentation and plotters and more. A brand-new set of solar panels is being installed on a custom s/steel frame over the davits, to enhance her self-sufficient nature. Her interior is a beautiful matt Alpi Walnut. Her saloon is airy and light, with the trademark excellent all-round visibility that Lagoons are known for. A comfortable and large L shaped settee with table is to starboard, the navigation station with navigation repeater screens, additional standalone GPS plotter, HF radio, and Iridium Sat phone to port. The U-shaped galley with Corian tops has lots of counter space, a fridge and freezer and due to the revised orientation, easier access to the cockpit. There is also a dedicated drinks drawer fridge in the cockpit. All her cabins are ensuite, with large hull windows and overhead hatches to ensure ventilation and the feeling of light and space. The very spacious owners cabin takes over the starboard hull and can be closed off with a sliding door. Aft is the island-style double berth, midships a desk, wardrobe and sofa and up forward the large head with enclosed shower. The port aft cabin features the same size island berth, with plenty of storage, own head, and partitioned shower. The port forward double berth is slightly angled to enable a partial entry from the side too. Furthermore, the saloon table can be lowered to form an additional double berth. The Sportop version of the 450 has an offset, safe helm position, from where you operate all sails. It was designed to reduce the separation of crew and helmsman. Visibility from the helm, with optional composite bimini, is great with all the electric primary, manoeuvring and mainsheet winches all within reach. At the helm are a B & G GPS plotter and multi-function displays. The sail areas are the same as the Flybridge version. However, the lower mast and boom reduces pitching and makes the boom easier to access. She has the square top mainsail and for downwind performance a Code 0 on a furler, a Top-Down Furling Gennaker and Wingaker spinnaker. Chubby Bunny has 800 a/h Lithium batteries ( installed in 2020) with Redarc DC -DC battery charges and a 5KW Victron Quattro inverter/charger, with a Victron controller. Her tender is a Highfield CL340 RIB with a 20Hp 4 stroke Honda outboard, which is stored on large davits with a dedicated electric- manual winch for ease of retrieval. This owner version Lagoon 450s has been beautifully looked after by her fastidious owners. She has just had her hull and cabin top polished and the vessel is an absolute turnkey and fully optioned blue water cruising catamaran, available now and awaiting her next adventure. Please contact Robert Vrind on 0428 47 22 31 for further any further details and to arrange an early inspection.

For more information please contact Ian Van Tuyl the Jeanneau 64 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 STRONG POINTS Super Yacht Style SUCCUMB TO THE CHARMS OF THE JEANNEAU YACHTS 64, AN EXCEPTIONAL YACHT THAT ENCHANTS WITH PRECISION, ELEGANCE AND REFINEMENT, AND ESCAPE FROM THE EVERYDAY. EXCEPTIONAL / FREEDOM You will be fascinated by this flagship, with her livable, welcoming deck, at once relaxing and inspiring. Immense exterior living spaces open to the sea, ensuring exhilarating cruises. VOLUPTUOUS / ART OF LIVING WELL Meticulous details, incomparable volume and sensuous materials inevitably evoke emotion, pure pleasure. Life on board is resplendent. GENEROSITY / EXCELLENCE Your Jeanneau Yachts 64 is unique. Created to suit you, she will enhance and reflect your personality. You will marvel at the diversity of available configurations, pathways to acheiving your dreams. A delicate yet vibrant harmony is present aboard the Jeanneau Yachts 64: the combination of fine interior living spaces with a powerful exterior. Jeanneau 64 Born of a close partnership between Philippe Briand and Andrew Winch, the Jeanneau 64 features elegant lines with classic proportions. ... Every Jeanneau Yacht is designed to be a sailor's boat, and the Jeanneau Yachts 64 is no exception. This flagship is secure, fast, and enjoyable to sail. Here is a yacht guaranteed to surprise. Packed within this 64ft 1in hull, the latest from Jeanneau, are a multitude of qualities that will make you question your preconceptions about the brand. The French production builder has married the world of big-boat luxury and comfort with production boat functionality and pricing to create a new market. The 64 has been drawn by leading superyacht designers and built by Jeanneau to an impressive quality. A small superyacht Think Jeanneau and you probably think basic, economic no-frills production cruiser, or perhaps a wipe-clean bareboat charter yacht. Jeanneau yachts are designed and perform consistently well, but remain, essentially, middle-of-the-road cruising boats. A 64ft Jeanneau that looks like a small superyacht will take most by surprise. This striking new Jeanneau is 8ft longer than the previous flagship, the 57, launched in 2009 – a telling indication of how LOA has spiralled in recent years. Technology upgrade Peer beneath the forward soleboards of the raised saloon and you will find a compact 1.5 tonne Harken captive winch neatly squirrelled away. The Jeanneau is the smallest production yacht to fit a captive winch, a prime example of how to use superyacht technology when price (an extra €21,500) and space allow. Here it provides push-button ease where a winch doesn’t need to share functions. A captive winch can also be fitted for the main halyard. A vast cockpit and a walk-in engine room were the two most desirable features to top Jeanneau’s wishlist for the 64. But there are many more subtle signs of the big-boat touch throughout. For example, halyard- tensioning tracks at the mast base tidy lines that are seldom adjusted, such as furling foresail halyards. Glassfibre bulwarks that run from stem to stern look smart and provide a feeling of security on deck. And a recess is built into the anchor locker to offer the option for a rotating anchor arm. The 64 was conceived to be the largest size of yacht that can be managed without a permanent crew. So all the styling merits and gadgets count for little if she can’t be handled easily. As the wind whistled through the rigging of yachts nestled in Marseille’s old port, I wondered whether we would be given the chance to put this to the test. For our two-day visit, the forecast predicted 25-30 knot Mistral winds that would ease by ten knots by the second day. Nosing past the breakwater, we instantly shipped green water in the cockpit and it became clear that the winds weren’t going to listen to what the forecast suggested. We sailed for the majority of the time with just two aboard, in winds averaging Gale Force 7-8 over both days. An in-mast furling mainsail and a self-tacking furling jib made it possible to set the optimal canvas easily, without either of us needing to leave the aft cockpit. We reduced the mainsail until heel angle became stable – the equivalent of three reefs for the most part – and sailed with full jib where possible. The test boat had a 100 per cent furling genoa on the forestay, plus this small self-tacking jib set off an inner stay. The jib acted like a staysail, providing useful drive. It is a choice I would take in preference to the standard offering of self-tacking jib on the main forestay.
