Die meisten modernen Segelboote bestehen aus GFK (glasfaserverstärkter Kunststoff). Der Werkstoff ist leicht, stabil, langlebig und korrosionsfrei – ideale Eigenschaften für den Einsatz auf See. Deshalb hat GFK den klassischen Holz- und Stahlbootbau bei vielen Freizeitbooten weitgehend ersetzt. Mehr nautisches Wissen und Onlinekurse für Bootsführerscheine findest du hier: segelnag.com

The Balance 580 has been named a SAIL Magazine Top 10 Best Boats winner — one of the most respected awards in sailing. This isn't an award you apply for. It's earned through real sea trials, real sailing, and real innovation. Described as "a cut above," the 580 combines lightweight carbon-reinforced construction with serious performance. But she's not just built for speed — from the versatile helm station to the open cockpit to comfortable salon living, this is a catamaran designed for real sailors and real life aboard. The test boat didn't just sail around the bay. She crossed the Atlantic before the review even took place. Built in South Africa, the 580 continues a remarkable track record — every new Balance model has earned major international recognition. The Balance 580: not just award-winning. Built to redefine what a performance cruising catamaran can be. 🔗 Learn more: https://balancecatamarans.com/balance-580-named-sail-magazine-top-10-best-boats-2026-winner/ 📩 Enquiries: info@balancecatamarans.com #BalanceCatamarans #Balance580 #SAILMagazine #BestBoats #SailingCatamaran #PerformanceCruising #CatamaranLife #BluewaterSailing #BuiltInSouthAfrica #SailingYacht

Our livestream seems lost in youtube wonderland but we recorded all the footage locally during the race. After pondering what to do with 115 hours of footage it I decided on this 60x timelapse which compresses each hour down to 1 minute. I don't expect people to actually watch this obviously but scrubbing through it is certainly fun. The video plays at 60fps which helps preserve some detail. Unfortunately stringing that many clips together, the tacks didn't quite line up with the gps track at the end but I gave up trying to fix that. I also added a "tack counter" and the wind vector arrow being displayed is a 1hour average of the data I got from the race which greatly smooths it out. Enjoy.

Nach vier Wochen in Havanna setzen wir wieder die Segel. Einige hundert Seemeilen entlang der fast menschenleeren Westküste bis in den Süden liegen vor. Anders als noch vor vier Wochen sehen wir kaum noch Fischerboote. Auch den Fischern ist wegen des Ölembargos der Diesel ausgegangen. Bei einem Stopp in Los Morros schauen wir, ob die vergessene Crew des Grenzpostens endlich abgeholt wurde. Als wir nach knapp 400 Seemeilen die Isla de la Juventud, die Insel der Jugend, an der Südseite Kubas erreichten, sind wir erschöpft. Auch wenn wir den größten Teil der Strecke herrlich Segeln konnten, hatten es die letzten Meilen in sich.

The nerd-fest continues in this week's episode, but we're taking a slightly different direction in this one. In the previous few episodes it's been all about the tech and what it's capable of, but in this video we're more focused on the practicality of how it's going to actually fit together in the boat. Space is the one thing we never have enough of on a boat, so with the help of Conor we're going to take you on a suuuuper deep dive into how we will go from a tiny, empty room to cramming 20 some-odd pieces of gear and batteries to create an efficient and well functioning layout for everything.

Underneath it all, you’ve got a proven Riviera backbone, solid construction, IPS diesels, and a hull that’s built to be used, not just admired. What stands out is the balance. It’s composed and predictable when you need precision… but open it up, and there’s real capability there. This isn’t a fragile showpiece; it’s a platform you can actually run, whether that’s owner-operated or lightly crewed, depending on how you use it. There’s a quiet confidence to this boat. Nothing feels overdone, nothing feels lacking. For the right owner, this isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade; it’s a long-term move into something that simply works.

Der Traum von der eigenen Yacht war schnell gekauft – und noch schneller wieder vorbei. Was mit moderatem Nordostwind und eigentlich bestem Segelwetter begann, kippte schon nach wenigen Stunden: Unsicherheit, Seekrankheit und Überforderung machten aus der geplanten Überführung eine völlig andere Geschichte. Ein Video über Erwartungen, Realität und die Erkenntnis, dass der Traum vom eigenen Boot manchmal früher endet, als man denkt.

Give it a thumbs up if you liked this episode! Boat finally at the new yard, customs still dragging, and somehow we end up testing a gloriously dodgy kite-cam setup in 35-knot gusts. 😅⛵🪁 In this episode of Sailing into Freedom, I head out to the new factory on the edge of Saigon to check on hull 2 and the long-delayed imported gear that’s still trapped in paperwork limbo. It’s a huge moment seeing the boat in her new home at last – a peaceful, green shipyard surrounded by waterways and rice fields – and knowing the real work can finally restart. Then things go full Sailing into Freedom: I rig up a homemade kite camera mount, use a bit of beach foam and some quick maths to fix the camera angle, and immediately discover what happens when impatience, gusty wind and bad ideas meet offshore. There’s also a brutally honest take on GoPro vs DJI Osmo Action, based on actual use in kitesurfing and underwater filming – no fluff, just what failed and what worked. If you’re into catamaran builds, sailing vlogs, DIY boatyard problem-solving, kiteboarding camera setups, and real-world gear reviews from someone who actually abuses the equipment, this one’s for you. #sailing #sailingintofreedom #catamaran #boatbuilding #kitesurfing #actioncamera #gopro #djiosmo #sailingvlog #liveaboard Get your Sailing Into Freedom Crew T-shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/sailing-into-freedom Want more?

Go deeper on offshore sailing prep: https://www.nauticed.org/bundle/view/captain?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=_2-GnKbuy7o Heave-to is one of the most powerful and underused sailing techniques you can master - whether you're stopping for lunch, managing a man overboard, or riding out heavy weather offshore. In this step-by-step 3D animated breakdown, NauticEd shows you exactly how to execute a heave-to on a sailboat, why the physics work, and how to exit back into normal sailing safely. What you'll learn: - What heave-to is and the 3 key situations where you need it - How to tack the boat without the headsail — the critical first step - Why backwinding the headsail and turning the helm to windward creates a stable "hove-to" position - The slick effect: how sideways drift flattens approaching waves in a storm, protecting your hull - How to exit heave-to quickly and get back underway Heave-to is a core offshore seamanship skill recognized in sailing certifications worldwide. If you're preparing for bluewater passages, coastal cruising, or just want to be a more confident sailor, this technique belongs in your toolkit. 00:00 - What Is Heave-To & When to Use It 00:17 - Tack the Boat, Not the Headsail 00:27 - Ease the Mainsail & Let the Boat Slow 00:37 - Helm Hard to Windward 00:47 - The Balancing Effect: Why It Works 01:15 - Storm Bonus: The Slick Effect Explained 01:29 - How to Exit Heave-To #sailing #sailboat #sailingschool #sailinglife

After a tough start to the season that left Ben injured and out of commission for a couple of weeks, we’re finally back—and back to adventure. This episode picks up with a return to the cabin, where local friends Rod and Alvin take us deeper into life in this rugged part of the world. From checking rabbit traps and ice fishing to hearing firsthand stories of growing up on remote islands, it’s a glimpse into a way of life shaped by isolation, resilience, and community. Then it’s back into the mountains. Steve and Carter set out to find a hidden ice climb they’d previously spotted from the highway—but with no trail and limited time, it turns into a full-on route-finding mission from above, rappelling into the unknown and hoping they’ve landed in the right place. Between setbacks, exploration, and a few hard-earned lessons, this week is about getting back on your feet—and back out there. -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built.

Il cosiddetto "decreto anti-maranza" (DL 23/2026), in vigore dal 25 febbraio 2026, ha introdotto restrizioni molto più severe sul porto di oggetti da taglio, rendendo l'uso dei comuni multitool e coltellini svizzeri fuori casa estremamente rischioso dal punto di vista legale. Ecco i punti chiave della nuova normativa: Cosa cambia per i multitool e i coltellini dopo il decreto "anti maranza" ?? Lama superiore a 5 cm: È ora vietato portare fuori dalla propria abitazione (o pertinenze) coltellini con lama pieghevole superiore a 5 centimetri se dotati di meccanismo di blocco o se apribili con una sola mano. Assenza di licenza: Questi oggetti sono ora assimilati ad armi per le quali non è ammessa licenza di porto. Giustificato motivo: Mentre prima la legge del 1975 permetteva il porto con un "giustificato motivo" (es. andare a funghi, campeggio), la nuova norma è molto più stringente e specifica, riducendo drasticamente i margini di interpretazione per chi usa questi strumenti per hobby o necessità quotidiane. Sanzioni e Rischi Il porto ingiustificato di questi strumenti può ora comportare conseguenze penali pesanti: Reclusione: Da 1 a 3 anni di carcere. Sanzioni accessorie: Possibile sospensione della patente di guida o della licenza di porto d'armi. Minorenni: Il decreto prevede l'ammonimento del questore per i minori dai 12 ai 14 anni sorpresi con strumenti vietati. Si possono ancora usare? In casa: L'acquisto e la detenzione all'interno della propria abitazione rimangono legittimi per i maggiorenni. Fuori casa: L'uso è fortemente sconsigliato a meno che non si tratti di modelli con lame molto corte (sotto i 5 cm) e privi di blocchi, o che non si possa dimostrare una necessità professionale o sportiva immediata e documentabile, sebbene il rischio di contestazione rimanga alto. Nota importante: Il decreto legge ha validità temporanea di 60 giorni e deve essere convertito in legge dal Parlamento per diventare definitivo; sono attualmente in discussione emendamenti che potrebbero ammorbidire queste norme per gli usi tecnici e sportivi. 🤳 Seguimi anche su Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/alfredcuoreditenebra/ ✅ Iscriviti al canale 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCftpETgzeEnw-CBS7vU-H_A ✅ Puoi sostenere il mio canale ABBONANOTI o con una donazione PAYPAL 👉 https://paypal.me/alfredocontaldo 🏕 Dai un' occhiata anche il mio canale dedicato a trekking & Hiking 🏞 👉 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtewIvARQzFQCAcgCbPqS9Q

Un approfondimento chiaro per capire come acquistare un’imbarcazione in totale sicurezza, evitando errori e sorprese durante la trattativa. 💪 Punti di forza e vantaggi del mutuo nautico: ✅ Accesso all’acquisto con investimento dilazionato Il mutuo nautico consente di acquistare un’imbarcazione distribuendo il pagamento nel tempo. In questo modo è possibile accedere a barche di valore più elevato mantenendo una gestione finanziaria sostenibile. ✅ Procedura strutturata e tutelata L’operazione prevede diversi passaggi formali tra banca, perito e notaio. Questo iter garantisce che l’imbarcazione venga verificata e che l’acquisto avvenga con tutte le tutele legali necessarie. ✅ Perizia tecnica sull’imbarcazione Prima dell’erogazione del mutuo, la banca richiede una perizia nautica per verificare condizioni, valore e conformità della barca. Un passaggio fondamentale per tutelare sia l’acquirente che l’istituto di credito. ✅ Iscrizione dell’ipoteca nei registri marittimi Il finanziamento viene garantito tramite l’iscrizione di un’ipoteca sull’imbarcazione. Questo passaggio viene formalizzato davanti a un notaio e registrato ufficialmente nei registri marittimi. ✅ Acquisto più sicuro e trasparente Grazie alla presenza di professionisti come broker, periti, istituti di credito e notai, il mutuo nautico permette di acquistare una barca seguendo un percorso chiaro, controllato e sicuro. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTATTI STUDIO D'AGLIANO 📍Sede: Via Montegrappa, 2 - 57027 San Vincenzo (LI) 📞 Chiamaci al +39 0565704088 📨 Scrivi a studiodagliano@studiodagliano.it 🌐 Visita il nostro sito https://studiodagliano.it/ CONTATTI ABAYACHTING (Mediatori Marittimi) 📍Sede operativa: Via Vittime di Bologna, 3 - 10024 Moncalieri (TO) 📞 Chiamaci al +39 0112457841 💬 Manda un messaggio WhatsApp: https://wa.me/393421432715 📨 Scrivi ad info@abayachting.com 🌐 Visita il nostro sito https://www.abayachting.com 🔔 Iscriviti al canale per non perdere le prossime novità! #abayachting #fermimai #venditabarcheinesclusiva #onboard #mutuonautico #acquistarebarca #nautica #yachtbroker #compravenditabarche #brokernautico

“Mythic”, “otherworldly” and “like a fairy tale” – that’s how Antarctica’s first explorers described this vast and beautiful continent of ice and rock. Only one in a thousand people have ever set foot here, and to do so is to become one of the few intrepid travellers fortunate enough to witness soul-stirring scenery which provides a dramatic backdrop to a wild haven rich with whales, seals and penguins. Since 1896, HX has led mindful expeditions to the world’s most extraordinary places. Today, we continue that legacy, taking curious adventurers to iconic destinations like Antarctica, Galápagos, Greenland and aboard our modern expedition ships. Join us and change the way you see the world. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HXExpeditions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hxexpeditions/ Website: https://www.travelhx.com/en/

HX guests speak from the heart about how the experience of visiting Antarctica made them feel. The awe-inspiring White Continent never fails to stir the soul, and anybody who has ever been there has struggled to find the words to convey the epic sense of the untouched nature, the bountiful wildlife and the grandeur of the scenery. Be warned, if you watch this, you’ll want to go there too! Since 1896, HX has led mindful expeditions to the world’s most extraordinary places.

Try Headspace for 60 days completely FREE with our link: https://headspace-web.app.link/e/NKD ~ Limited time offer! ~ Now the 57ft abandoned catamaran is finally floating…pressure’s off, right? Not quite. This boat project is only just getting started 😅 This week, Phoebe and I are mounting stern rails, sealing and mounting engine room hatches. We're pushing hard to get this Cat out of the marina and onto anchor within the next 2 months...marina fees add up fast. But to get out of here, the job list is HUGE. On top of that, we need to sell our home of five years ‘Innerbloom’ to pay off loans and keep this project moving forward. Then, we have our worst day in recent memory - a day so full of expensive mistakes we could've bought a whole extra month on the hardstand. It hits us that we can’t keep pushing ourselves, we're run down from 3 solid months on this project. The truth is, you can’t run at full pelt forever. We need to take a couple of steps back to keep moving forward and that means better routines, looking after our health, and taking a proper day off to reconnect. Because making sure we’re both still standing together when it’s time to finally cast off and go cruising is what we're doing it all for! _____________________________________________________________________________ PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/TheNewKidsOnTheDock PAYPAL: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=KNLJDGDXPAYAU WISHLIST: https://www.myregistry.com/wishlist/josh-and-phoebe-coomera-queensland/5046646 _____________________________________________________________________________

Mit 18 packte Yoshi seinen Rucksack und traf eine ungewöhnliche Entscheidung: nach Südamerika reisen – ohne Flugzeug, ohne großen Plan und mit kaum Geld. 21 Monate lang trampte er durch die Welt, überquerte den Atlantik auf Segelbooten und erreichte schließlich die Südspitze Südamerikas. In dieser Folge erzählt er von Mut, Zweifeln, besonderen Begegnungen – und warum Träume oft genau dann auf die Probe gestellt werden, wenn man kurz davor ist, sie zu erreichen.

This new video is the completion of us putting our interior salon back together! Some things that made the job extra tricky because of where we are: 1. FORMICA is something we needed to bring to the boat, as it is NOT sold in MEXICO. The Formica for this job was driven to the boat a YEAR earlier in prep for what was to come. We needed to order a router and special bits that could cut the Formica too. Travis has a full workshop in Texas, and my dad (mom) does too...so it was always a thought of "if only we were back in TEXAS"...LOL. The Formica...measure 10x and cut 1x. We felt it, and Travis did a brilliant job! 2. We did not label all pieces of wood trim that needed labeling, which made the putting it all back together all the more laborsome. 3. The furring strips on the starboard side needed redoing entirely, because that side the originals were rotten. Travis and I...learned a new skill we did not know we needed. Who knew! 4. All of those teak pieces of trim needed and indeed cut cut exactly to their new shape (old chainplates were slightly smaller in all directions!). This...took more time too. 5. The material for the ceiling was also brought to the boat a year before...it is foam backed vinyl! A wonderful wonderful material and it was so easy to use and install! (We bought it on Amazon!). WE WILL get this boat of ours launched and under sail soon...we certainly did not know we were buying such a project boat when we did, but one day she will be as perfect as she can be, and we will bask in the glow of an a job well done, and stories to tell!

Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser, mostly solo, making videos whenever we have time for it.Comfortable at sea with 4 decades of sailing experience and hundreds of thousands of miles behind me. Even though this is season 8 on YouTube, I did not make that many videos in the beginning, and obviously not from my entire sailing life. Before full-time sailing 7 years ago, I sailed several seasons in the Mediterranean, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing and racing ever since. I also have more than 10 years of experience as a captain in search and rescue at sea in Norway.
