Should you charter a catamaran or a monohull in the British Virgin Islands? 👉 https://www.nauticed.org This is one of the most common questions people ask before planning a BVI bareboat charter or sailing vacation. The answer depends less on which boat is “better” and more on what kind of experience you want during your week in the islands. A simple way to think about it is this: sail a monohull at home, but for a BVI vacation, many people will be happier on a catamaran. That is not a hard rule. If you only have a few people aboard, a monohull may have plenty of space and can be a great choice. But if you are bringing family, friends, kids, or a larger crew, a catamaran gives everyone more room to spread out. The BVI is a vacation-focused cruising ground. You are usually moving between anchorages, mooring fields, beaches, snorkeling spots, beach bars, and short island hops. So before choosing the boat, ask yourself what kind of trip you actually want. Are you coming to the BVI for a relaxed sailing vacation, or are you looking for a more traditional sailing experience with more heel, more feel, and more performance upwind? A catamaran is like bringing a floating condo with you. You get more deck space, more privacy, more room in the cabins and salon, and better visibility from inside the boat. You are not tucked down below in the hull the same way you are on many monohulls. For a weeklong BVI charter, that extra space can make a big difference. A monohull can still be a great option, especially for smaller crews or sailors who really want that classic sailing feel. But for many BVI charter vacations, the decision should come down to the overall experience you want your crew to have. #sailing #catamaran #bareboatcharter #bvi

We Found a Secret Portal to the Ocean... Hidden in the Jungle 🌴🌀 Just when we thought we had seen it all in the Solomon Islands, our friend John Wayne told us about a place that isn't on any map. To get there, we had to leave the comfort of the boat and hike deep into the interior of the island. It was a brutal trek—barefoot over razor-sharp limestone and through dense, humid bush where the trail frequently disappeared. But the struggle was forgotten the moment the earth opened up beneath us to reveal The Blue Hole. This isn't just a swimming hole; it’s a geological wonder. Mapped by specialist divers, this deep blue eye in the jungle connects to a network of ten underwater caverns that tunnel through the island's bedrock, eventually exiting into the open sea. It is a silent, sacred world home only to fruit bats and a legendary giant eel that guards the depths. To finish our time on the island, we visit a site dedicated to Kesico, the Fishing God. Half-human and half-frigate bird, Kesico is said to have sat upon these rocks, observing the tides and seasons to grant his people the bounty of the sea.

The start of the Vendée Arctique may have been a quiet affair when the fleet set off from les Sables d'Olonne on Sunday 7 June, but it didn't take long for the pain, stress, sea sickness and breakdowns to start. Racing to the Arctic Circle and back alone, on a course where the only turning point is the latitude that defines this infamous point on the globe, has seen the fleet head up the west coast of Ireland before breaking out into unfamiliar territory for all. And there has been at least one heroic act along the way as Italian sailor Ambrogio Beccaria was forced to dive down to the bottom of his keel to free his boat after getting trapped - the footage is remarkable and his nerve breathtaking. We report on the first half of this incredible race, plus we talk to skipper Francesca Clapcich about her unconventional approach to reaching her ultimate goal.

If you've been searching for a catamaran that ticks every box: cruising capability, ease of handling for new sailors, offshore safety, long-passage comfort, and the kind of performance that serious sailors demand, the Seawind 1170 deserves your attention. Sam Jefferson, editor of Sailing Today with Yachts & Yachting magazine, joins Mike Rees, Seawind's Global Sales Director, to share the design philosophy and Australian sailing DNA behind this multi-award-winning model. 🔔 Subscribe and be part of the journey. 🌐 https://seawindcats.com/ 📩 info@seawindcats.com Our social media profiles: https://www.facebook.com/SeawindCatamarans https://www.instagram.com/seawindcats

Didn't think you could get on the plane with an electric outboard? Well think again. We've just done a full test of the ePropulsion Spirit 2 and we can report that this is not an upgrade from the Spirit 1, it's an entirely different beast. We've used electric outboards as the main motor for our tender for 5 years now. There are pro's and cons between electric and petrol outboards of course, but for us the electric option has been hands down the best and now it's got much, much better. Really the only thing a petrol outboard has over an electric one is speed and range. Well not any more. The job of a yacht tender is to get you from the boat to shore, the electric outboards do that reliably, they are silently have no fumes and now they also do it as quickly. Yes if you want to go on an expedition for 20nm on the plane then you will need a petrol outboard, but to do that well it has to be at least 15hp even for two people in a small dinghy. So if you've got something like a large catamaran that can take big dinghy with outboard on a strong pair of davits then it might make sense. But if what you're doing at the moment is operating a 3, 5, or even 10hp petrol outboard then you have the worst of all worlds. You have the unreliability, the service schedule the weight, the smell and the noise and you have no more real power than the new Spirit 2. Just to clarify at the end we used 82% of the battery in the longevity test, so down to 18%, watching it back it may have not been clear the way I said it. Obviously I can't fit every detail into one short video but do ask questions in the comments if anything is unclear. There are some other good features I didn't cover because they are not that relevant for a tender, but if you want a Spirit 2 for something like a trailer sailer then it has features like a lock to keep it straight and regen as standard to charge while you sail..

At dawn, I raise anchor and set sail aboard Mirage for a 40+ mile solo passage to West End, Bahamas - the northernmost inhabited point of the Bahamian islands and my last stop before crossing the Gulf Stream. The day starts calm and beautiful, with light wind, flat water, and those perfect Bahamas colors all around me. As the wind shifts aft, I try different sail setups: mainsail only, staysail, and eventually wing-on-wing. Mirage comes alive — 6, 7, then 8.5–10 knots as I make excellent time toward Old Bahama Bay. In West End, I clear Customs and Immigration, check out of the Bahamas, and prepare for an early start across the Gulf Stream the next morning. A perfect sailing day, a fast solo passage, and a bittersweet goodbye to the Bahamas… for now. ⛵ Sailing Mirage - solo sailing, ocean passages, and life aboard my Amel 50. #SailingMirage #SoloSailing #Bahamas #WestEndBahamas #OldBahamaBay #GulfStream #Sailing #Amel50 #SailingLife #CruisingLife #Liveaboard #OceanSailing

Aphrodite — 2024 Lagoon 42 Owner's Version | The Floating Office Edition Full Specs: https://catamaranbrokerage.com/2024-lagoon-42-aphrodite Key Features & Highlights 450Ah SuperB lithium battery bank 2,910 watts of solar with 7 dedicated Victron MPPT charge controllers (details below) MasterVolt 2000W inverter + dedicated Victron battery charger Cummins Onan 13.5kW marine generator Fully redundant Starlink installation — hardwired with backup ethernet and backup 12V power Rare factory layout: full-size workspace in the owner's suite (no space-wasting couch) 4 independent HVAC units — every cabin plus the salon has its own climate control Brand-new convection/microwave/air fryer combo (2026) on a custom space-saving shelf 2025 Highfield CL340 dinghy with NEW 2025 Tohatsu 20HP, electric start & power tilt Twin Yanmar 57HP diesels Smartphone-controlled Nanoleaf IP65 cockpit lighting — full color and brightness control Three-stage drinking water polishing system (UV + 1 micron + remineralization) Full cockpit & helm enclosures with cockpit shades (currently installed) Layout & Accommodations Owner's version 3-cabin layout with the entire starboard hull dedicated to the owner's suite, including a memory foam mattress, ample storage, and a true workspace — this is a genuine liveaboard setup. Here's what makes this particular boat special: most Lagoon 42s come with an awkward desk and a bulky couch that eats the most useful space in the owner's suite. This one left the factory without the couch — replaced with a proper full-size desk, additional storage cabinets, and a bookshelf. The current owner ran a software company from this desk for 18 months, and the space is pre-wired to support dual monitors. If you plan to work from the water, you won't find a better setup on a 42. The salon is bright and open with a large sliding door connecting seamlessly to the cockpit. Comfortable seating, a smart TV, and a clean nav station make it functional underway or at anchor. The port hull features two guest cabins, each with its own head — a dry head aft and a wet head forward. Climate control is exceptional: four independent HVAC units, one in each cabin plus a dedicated unit for the salon, so everyone aboard sets their own temperature. Connectivity — Built for Working Aboard The Starlink installation goes well beyond the typical setup: Stainless Starlink mount integrated into the solar arch Hardwired ethernet from the arch directly to the owner's suite desk Secondary backup ethernet run to the port engine room Backup 12V power source wired to the owner's suite Internet redundancy designed by someone whose livelihood depended on it. Galley 3-burner stove and oven Brand-new (2026) air fryer / microwave / convection oven combo, mounted on a custom shelf that keeps it up and out of the way — freeing valuable galley storage below Top-loading freezer plus three refrigerators — provision for weeks, not days One-of-a-kind cutting board, handcrafted by the owner as a gift for his new wife, custom-fitted to nest seamlessly into the galley — it stays with the boat Electrical & Power This is one of the standout areas of the boat. 450Ah lithium battery bank (3x 150Ah SuperB) 2,910 watts of solar across 7 dedicated Victron MPPT charge controllers: 6x 420W panels, each with its own Victron MPPT — every panel keeps producing at full output even when another is shaded (2,520W) 3x 130W walk-on panels atop the cockpit with a dedicated Victron MPPT (390W) MasterVolt 2000W inverter Dedicated Victron battery charger 220V shore power Cummins Onan 13.5kW marine generator (MDKDN 8140A) — serious capacity for a boat this size Between the solar, lithium, and generator, you have three layers of power independence.

Essa junção do pampa gaúcho com a vida náutica, com veleiros ancorados ao lado de campos com cavalos, é uma paisagem que eu não conhecia na minha própria terra. Foi também o momento da despedida do Duca, um grande parceiro de velejada. Antes de partir, ele me fez uma pergunta sobre sentir falta de casa que mexeu comigo. Para ele, a vida a bordo está prestes a começar de verdade, morando no barco em Porto Alegre e velejando no Guaíba, que ele descreve como "descobrir Porto Alegre de novo", uma cidade que o porto-alegrense não conhece pela visão da água. As imagens que encontramos aqui são surreais e únicas. Uma balsa transportando um cavalo crioulo, o Yacht Club vizinho de um campo com balanços de criança e lanchas ao lado de cavalos. É um outro Rio Grande do Sul, um que sempre esteve aqui, mas que só a perspectiva do barco revela. Um contraste fascinante com a imagem tropical que geralmente associamos à vela. Com a sensação de que o mais difícil havia passado, partimos para a Lagoa dos Patos. Afinal, estávamos seguros numa lagoa.

Por esse motivo, estamos há um mês aqui na Marina. Graças a Deus, resolvendo o problema. Demorou, mas chegou a bomba nova. Agora vamos viajar para ver o mundial nos EUA. Em 45 dias voltamos e vai ter muito mais pescaria e aventuras, já que daqui vamos para os EUA, dessa vez com o veleiro, depois Europa. De qualquer maneira, não percam os novos vídeos porque, como vocês já sabem, Martin é argentino e essa briga pela Copa do Mundo aqui está ficando séria. 😅🤣🥳🏆🇧🇷🇦🇷 #mar #vidaabordo #bomba #motor #manutenção

I arrive in Biscayne Bay in the middle of the night (naturally), nearly fourteen days out of Poquoson, Virginia. After re-provisioning and making some repairs, I am promptly off to the Florida Keys.

Welcome back to another episode of WE|Sail. EPISODE 344 Cyclone Vaianu has passed. The lines are off the dock. And after weeks of waiting — we are finally underway. We're leaving Vuda Marina in Nadi and pointing VA east. 300 miles to the Lau Islands, Fiji's most remote island group. We've been trying to get here for weeks. A cyclone had other ideas. But today the wind is blowing the right direction for the first time in a long time — the tail end of the same storm that kept us pinned down — and we are not wasting it. Getting out past the barrier reef is the first test. The seas are sloppy, leftover swell from the cyclone mixing with fresh wind chop — it's not comfortable, but we've got sails up and we're moving. And within the first few miles of open ocean, the fishing rod goes off. Fresh tuna. Day one. We'll take it. This episode is the departure — the relief, the rough first hours, and the start of what we hope is one of the most remote and rewarding sails of our seven years out here. The Lau Islands are still 300 miles away. But we're finally going. ⚓ Thanks for watching!

After exploring and surfing Madagascar, we thought we were finally ready to leave. We had a weather window, a plan, and our sights set on South Africa. But before we could cross the Mozambique Channel, we first had to convince the local authorities to let us go. What should have been a routine checkout quickly turned into one of the most frustrating experiences we've encountered during our years of sailing around the world. With tensions rising, a weather window closing, and the Mozambique Channel waiting for us on the other side, all we wanted was our paperwork and a clear path south. Once underway, we faced one of the most challenging stretches of water in the world as we sailed from Madagascar towards Richards Bay, South Africa aboard our Leopard 46 catamaran, Happy Days. Join our family of six as we navigate bureaucracy, weather routing, offshore sailing, and life at sea while continuing our circumnavigation of the globe. ⛵ Boat: Leopard 46 Catamaran 🌏 Route: Madagascar → Mozambique Channel → Richards Bay, South Africa

Someone at the dock pointed at the mast on this Bali 5.2 and asked Steele: "Is that mast supposed to be raked back that much?" It's a question the Catamaran Gurus' team hears constantly, at boat shows, on the docks, and from prospective buyers during walkthroughs. The answer goes deeper than most people expect, all the way back to Catana Group and their 30+ year history building performance racing catamarans. The Bali 5.2's mast is raked aft approximately 4 to 5 degrees. That's well beyond the 1 to 2 degrees found on most production cruising catamarans. It's a deliberate engineering decision that changes how the boat performs under sail. More information on the Bali 5.2: https://catamaranguru.com/yacht-sales/new-yachts/bali-catamarans/bali-52-catamaran/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=Bali&utm_term=52 Why does the mast lean back? The raked mast increases forestay tension, which tightens the luff (the front edge of the sail). A tighter luff creates a flatter, more aerodynamic sail entry that lets the boat cut into the wind more efficiently rather than being pushed sideways. This is especially important when sailing upwind (pointing), which is the most demanding point of sail for any cruising catamaran. What does it do to the sail shape? With the mast tilted aft, the leech (the back edge of the sail) becomes longer. A longer leech allows excess wind pressure to spill cleanly off the trailing edge instead of loading up the rig. This reduces drag, lowers strain on the rigging, and gives the helmsman better control in variable wind conditions. The result is a sail that behaves more like an efficient airfoil and less like a parachute. How does it reduce bow pitching? Mast rake shifts the center of effort (the point where all sail forces converge) further aft. This redistributes the load so the bow doesn't get pulled down into oncoming waves as aggressively. The result is less of that uncomfortable rocking motion (bow pitching) that plagues many cruising catamarans in choppy conditions. What is the Catana Group connection? Catana Group has been building performance catamarans since 1984. The Catana brand is known for fast, race oriented multihulls. When Catana created the Bali line for the cruising market, they carried over key elements of rig geometry from their performance boats, including the aggressive mast rake. What Steele refers to as "Catana DNA." It's the reason a Bali feels different under sail compared to other cruising catamarans in the same size range.
