Al Salone Nautico si va solo per comprare una barca nuova? E se l'usato fosse la scelta migliore? 🤔⛵🛥️ Il Salone Nautico di Genova è l'occasione perfetta per scoprire le ultime novità dei cantieri, ma sei sicuro che acquistare una barca nuova sia sempre la soluzione più conveniente? Budget, tempi di consegna, allestimenti, permute e condizioni dell'imbarcazione: ci sono almeno 5 ottimi motivi per valutare anche il mercato delle barche usate! In questo video ti spieghiamo perché una barca usata recente potrebbe rivelarsi un'alternativa davvero interessante rispetto al nuovo. 💪 5 motivi per valutare una barca usata al Salone Nautico: ✅ Budget: una barca più accessoriata a un prezzo interessante Hai trovato la barca dei tuoi sogni, ma il prezzo del nuovo supera il tuo budget? Sul mercato dell'usato potresti trovare lo stesso modello, magari di appena 1 o 2 anni, con accessori e dotazioni interessanti e un investimento inferiore rispetto al nuovo. ✅ Tempi di consegna: perché aspettare mesi? Una barca nuova con la configurazione che desideri potrebbe richiedere anche 8, 10 o 12 mesi di attesa. Scegliere un'imbarcazione usata già disponibile sul mercato potrebbe permetterti di anticipare il tuo prossimo viaggio in mare, senza rinunciare alle caratteristiche che cerchi. ✅ Layout e allestimenti: trova la configurazione che preferisci I cantieri aggiornano continuamente i propri modelli, modificando distribuzione degli spazi, accessori e soluzioni di bordo. Se preferisci una configurazione non più disponibile sul nuovo, il mercato dell'usato potrebbe offrirti proprio la barca che stai cercando. ✅ Una barca già collaudata: meno interventi iniziali Le imbarcazioni nuove possono richiedere piccoli interventi e regolazioni durante il primo periodo di utilizzo. Una barca usata recente, se ben mantenuta, potrebbe aver già superato questa fase, permettendoti di goderti la navigazione con maggiore tranquillità, sempre dopo le opportune verifiche tecniche. ✅ Permuta e cambio barca: più alternative per il tuo acquisto Vuoi acquistare un'altra imbarcazione ma devi prima vendere quella attuale? Non tutti i cantieri e concessionari accettano permute, soprattutto quando il valore delle due barche è molto vicino. Con il supporto di un broker nautico puoi valutare alternative e soluzioni per coordinare la vendita della tua barca con il prossimo acquisto. 💬 E tu, sceglieresti una barca nuova o un usato recente?

A hidden electrical short on the anchor button on our Lofrans Tigress Windlass caused our anchor to lift itself unexpectedly, creating a serious and potentially dangerous situation onboard our Amel sailboat. In this maintenance blog, I break down how a faulty control button triggered the problem, how I diagnosed the wiring issue, and why removing the button entirely was the safest fix. If you’re dealing with mysterious windlass behaviour, electrical gremlins, or unreliable deck controls, this walkthrough shows a simple, real-world scenario that prevented a dangerous anchoring incident from occurring again. Essential viewing for liveaboards, cruisers, and anyone maintaining a sailboat anchor system.

Sailing coastal exploration rarely goes exactly to plan. We get knocked back by some surprising late summer storms and then by some warships performing a live fire exercise blocking the route around Southern Italy. This time last year we were battling storms on our West- East Atlantic crossing but coastal sailing can be just as challenging and it takes all our energy to push on to get around Italy and give ourselves a chance of crossing the Adriatic in time to make our flight from Montenegro to Annapolis for the boat show. (SPOILER ALERT, we did make it and this video is going out on the first day of the show, so if you are attending then do come and say hello at the YT tent.

Ordering new sails starts with understanding your boat and how you sail. In this NauticEd video, Harding Sails explains the custom sail ordering process, from the first conversation and accurate measurements to fabric selection, a quote, and production. Learn when an existing sail can provide measurements, why measuring the boat is often preferred, and how sailmakers work with owners ordering from another part of the country. We also cover choosing sail features, the shop’s 50% deposit, and what can affect delivery times. Harding Sails discusses its typical four-to-eight-week turnaround, the process for ordering Elvstrøm sails from Denmark, and why you should leave extra time before your sailing season or planned trip. #sailing #sailboat

#BarcheAVela #BarcheAbbandonate #GiorgioEIlMare Dove si trovano le barche a vela abbandonate? ⛵ Esistono davvero barche a vela usate che si possono acquistare a poco prezzo e riportare in mare con un progetto di recupero e restauro? In questo Short di Giorgio e il Mare parliamo di barche a vela abbandonate, occasioni nella nautica, barche da restaurare e possibili affari per chi sogna di andare a vela senza spendere una fortuna. Cantieri nautici, barche ferme da anni, barche a vela da recuperare e occasioni nel mercato dell’usato: il mondo della vela nasconde storie e opportunità che vale la pena scoprire. Ma attenzione: una barca abbandonata non è sempre un affare! Prima di acquistare bisogna valutare lo stato dello scafo, il motore, le vele, l’attrezzatura e soprattutto i costi di ripristino. Il mio obiettivo è raccontarvi la vela vera, quella accessibile anche a chi non è ricco, mostrando barche, progetti e possibilità concrete per vivere il mare. ▶️ Guarda anche il video completo sulle barche a vela abbandonate sul canale Giorgio e il Mare!

Some of the biggest waves on Earth are invisible — up to 170 metres tall, taller than a 50-storey tower. And the ship sailing above feels nothing. They form in the Luzon Strait between Taiwan and the Philippines. Twice a day, the tide pushes the ocean over two underwater ridges and drags down the thermocline — the sharp boundary between warm, light water on top and cold, heavy water below. When the tide eases, that dip is released and steepens into a train of giant internal waves that travel hundreds of kilometres west across the South China Sea. At the surface the sea rises by less than an inch, but radar satellites can see them from space as bright bands of ripples. When they hit the continental slope, they break, churn the ocean and lift cold, nutrient-rich water up to the coral reefs. #shorts #ocean #internalwaves #science #physics #oceanography #sea
We had a short two-day weather window to head out to the Great Barrier Reef. With reef fishing still pretty new to us, we spent most of our time underwater exploring and seeing what we could find. Between the incredible weather, plenty of fish and a few curious sharks, we had an unreal couple of days out here! Jump on board for a little glimpse of our time on the reef! #spearfishing #sailing #greatbarrierreef #fishing

We Were Starving at a Remote Atoll... Then They Handed Us This 🐱🏺 120 miles into the open ocean, anchored at the remote atoll of Ontong Java, we hit a wall. For weeks, relentless winds and a dangerous swell kept us pinned. With a reef that only offered protection at low tide and our food stores dwindling to almost nothing, "island fever" began to set in. To keep from going stir-crazy, Poppy turned into a master fly-hunter, refining a technique to catch the generations of flies that have called our boat home. But just as we were reaching our breaking point, the wind dropped, and something truly extraordinary happened. A group of locals paddled for hours across the lagoon in an open canoe to bring us a gift. We expected fish or coconuts, but instead, they handed us a glass jar. Inside was a tiny, wide-eyed kitten. On an atoll where food is so scarce that almost anything is considered a meal, we weren't sure if this was a pet or a protein source—until they waved goodbye and left us with our new permanent crew member: Solly. In this episode, we introduce Solly to boat life, take her on her first kayak mission to a mouse-infested island, and try to make a meal out of "chewy" giant clam meat. It’s a story of survival, isolation, and the unexpected ways the ocean provides company.

September brought some of the most spectacular sailing action to the waters of Costa Smeralda, with the Maxi Yacht World Championship followed by the Rolex Swan Cup, both organized by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. At the Maxi Yacht World Championship, Tommaso Chieffi takes us inside the world of these extraordinary racing yachts, often described as the Formula 1 of sailing. Alongside the America's Cup and SailGP, Maxi yachts represent the pinnacle of technology and performance in traditional yacht racing. Among this year's highlights, Peter Dubens' North Star stood out with its exceptionally sleek, low-profile hull, rotating mast and canting keel. An impressive fleet of state-of-the-art yachts, where engineering, innovation and pure sailing performance come together at the highest level. #MaxiYachtWorldChampionship #RolexSwanCup #YachtClubCostaSmeralda #MaxiYachts #TheBoatShow

We're back aboard Indara in Rhodes, Greece, and it's time to set sail again! Our plan was to sail north towards Samos, stopping at a couple of islands along the way. But as every sailor knows, plans can change! We rethink our route and decide to push on, making just one stop along the way - anchoring for the night in beautiful Kos. Join us aboard our Najad 380 as we leave Rhodes behind, enjoy life under sail, and make our way north through the Greek islands. And the journey isn't over yet… In the next episode, we'll leave Kos and continue sailing towards Samos! **Subscribe to Seahoppers** and follow our sailing adventures around the Mediterranean. **Sail. Ride. Explore. Repeat.** #Sailing #Greece #SailingLife #Najad380 #IndaraSailing #Sailboat

The Sailing and Cruising YouTube Awards Season 2 Episode 1 No voting and no politicking. Just data. These awards show who you, the viewer, are actually watching and who the rest of us are watching too. Every number comes from the Sailing Creator Analytics dashboard, a custom app that tracks sailing YouTube daily. Only the last year counts. To place in the top three, a channel had to be active in sailing, cruising or boat DIY, because fixing boats is cruising. Clubs and racing groups are in the dataset but aren’t eligible to win.

Working through the Free MirroCraft project checklist! We hooked up the battery selector switch to test the 70HP Yamaha’s power tilt and trim pump. she’s trying, but needs a full charge overnight! Plus, fixed a bad valve stem on the trailer tire using the tractor loader to pop the bead. Both tires are holding air... just don’t ask about the trailer hubs!

Fall in the Southern Gulf Islands brings a quiet shift to living on our old wood sailboat. The mornings are colder, and there is a simple beauty of the season. There is a distinct change in the rhythm of life at Port Browning as the busy summer season fades away. In this episode, I capture the transition as the air cools and the landscape turns. We spend time wandering through a quiet cemetery framed by autumn foliage, picking fresh apples, and visiting an outdoor market to enjoy the harvest season. Documenting these small moments of fall in the Southern Gulf Islands is a reminder to slow down and appreciate the changing environment. Whether you are interested in coastal living or simply enjoy observing the seasonal shift in a scenic location, there is a lot to appreciate in this quieter time of year. If you enjoy these films, subscribing is one of the simplest ways you can help the channel grow. It also means you will be here as we continue exploring the Pacific coast and the wild places in between. This was one of my favourite moments from one of my recent episodes — and some of my favourite footage that I've shot so far.

Just after coffee the sky darkened and minutes later furious wind and rain of 70kts were unleashed. for over 30 minutes it lasted while I watched helpless from the cockpit of my boat. My mooring held, but a steel boat washed by just a few meters away. 10 boats ended up on the beach that day. I live on my boat and this was a day I will not forget. I was lucky not to have been smashed into by other boats
Den med masten 🛠️ Der var én særlig grund til, at masten skulle af. Sidste år bemærkede vi nemlig, at vores storfald – det reb, som vi hiver storsejlet op i masten med – var skamfilet efter en sejlads. Dét er ikke et godt tegn 🚨 Vi fandt ud af, at det lille hjul, som skulle dreje i takt med, at tovværket er i bevægelse, var stoppet med at rulle og faktisk var slidt fuldkommen op! Så kan man jo godt forstå, at det slider på storfaldet. Heldigvis havde vi et fald parallelt med det, der var ødelagt, som vi kunne bruge til fortsat at sejle med storsejlet. For at skifte det lille hjul, som hedder skivgat, skulle man have toppen af masten af, og for at få toppen af masten af skulle man slække helt ud på topvanterne – de wirer, der går helt til tops i masten. Det var alt sammen et arbejde, som ville være langt nemmere ved at tage masten af. For udover skivgattet ville vi også gerne have tjekket riggen igennem af en professionel. Han anbefalede, at vi skiftede hele den stående rig – alle wirerne – og det havde vi også lidt forventet. Så nu er den skiftet sammen med skivgattet, masten er på igen, og den er klar til at krydse Atlanten! 🏝️🌊🐳⛵️

Balthasar and Artemis Bleu powered their way out of the Marsamxett Harbour as the last division to start in the Coastal Race which is a lead-up race to the big event on Saturday. The early morning light cast an beautiful colour over the fleet as they headed out in a strong nor’easterly of around 20+ knots and a big seaway. They were smokin!

BACK ON DREAM! But Where's Jenny? | D-Log 313 I'm finally back aboard Dream in Crete, Greece, after several weeks away in the UK. But this time, I'm here on my own. So where's Jenny, and why hasn't she come back with me? Our original plan was to return to Greece together for a couple of weeks to enjoy some sunshine and get Dream ready for the winter. Unfortunately, family circumstances have changed, and we've had to make some difficult decisions. In this week's D-Log, I'll explain what's happening, why I'm back aboard Dream alone, and what the next few weeks have in store. Thankfully, Dream has behaved herself while we've been away, but there's still plenty to do before I can leave her safely tucked up in the marina for the winter. From sorting out the onboard CCTV security system and taking down the genoa to preparing the cockpit, fitting the winter tent and organising a long-awaited repair, my job list is growing by the day! And it's not just the boat that needs attention. My scooter also needs its MOT and preparing for the winter months. On the plus side, it's wonderful to be back in Crete, with beautiful blue skies and temperatures still approaching 30°C in October! Join me aboard Dream as I settle back into boat life, tackle the winter preparations and share what's happening with our sailing adventures. Our adventures might be changing for a while, but they're certainly not stopping! ⛵ About Us We're Carl and Jenny, and our adventures take us sailing around the Mediterranean aboard our yacht Dream, as well as travelling and exploring life back in the UK.

Join me aboard the Y7, a luxury carbon sailing yacht, for a detailed review from a naval architect’s perspective. From the guest cabins to the engine room, I explain what works well and what I would change before placing an order. The Y7 combines a sailing-focused carbon construction with a carefully finished interior. In this full yacht tour, we look at what that means for everyday life aboard, including circulation, storage, equipment access and the practical details that deserve attention when choosing a boat. We begin at the stern, with the swim platform and tender garage. The hatch arrangement and lack of a crane raise questions about handling the tender and its outboard. I explain how I would redesign the opening to preserve a working surface and allow for a removable davit. It is one of the areas I would discuss before ordering this yacht. Below deck, we explore the salon, both guest cabins and the owner’s suite. There is plenty of natural light, beautifully finished woodwork and careful detailing in the bathrooms. The carbon mast passes through the salon, while the owner’s cabin includes an unexpected walk-in closet. We also examine features that can be easy to overlook during a quick viewing. Protruding toggle switches deserve consideration on a boat that sails heeled, and the guest showers feel small for a yacht of this level. Throughout the tour, I look at how the spaces might work when the boat is moving, as well as how they look alongside. The galley brings up another set of decisions. It has a gimballed oven and induction cooktop, together with plenty of storage, but I would want an extractor hood and a more practical sink arrangement. The configurable interior gives an owner the opportunity to address these details around their own sailing habits. Next, we visit the separate crew area and engine room. We look at the 150 hp Yanmar, the generator and the access available for maintenance. There is useful headroom, although working around the machinery will require some thought. The compact crew accommodation is also worth examining closely if permanent crew will be part of the boat’s operation. Back on deck, we explore the twin helm stations, winches and sail controls. The fairly centralized handling arrangement and self-tacking jib are intended to make sailing with two people easier. We finish by looking at the clear side decks, flush hatches and equipment at the bow. This Y7 review is for sailors, prospective owners and anyone who enjoys understanding the thinking behind a yacht’s layout. I highlight the craftsmanship and solutions I appreciate, while explaining the changes I would consider for a particular way of using the boat. Interior customization makes those conversations especially relevant before an order is signed.

Witness the first-ever tubefootsteps of a lab-raised sunflower sea star (Pycnopodia helianthoides) on a wild California reef! I was honored to be able to tag along with the Sunflower Star Laboratory on this monumental day for the recovery of California's kelp forests. This was a very emotional day for me. I remember seeing these stars vanish before our eyes, before really understanding what the impact was going to be. I saw the reefs get run over, run down, and ruined. Since then, I've been involved with documenting kelp declines, restoration efforts, documentaries, awareness campaigns, from the state level to local coffee shops. At the end of the day, I'm still diving because I miss those groves I learned to blow bubbles in. Working alongside Sunflower Star Laboratory has been a life-affirming partnership. I'm getting see my good friend Andrew Kim and his aquaculturing genius come to life in these stars. I'm getting to witness the future being rebuilt in each little increment, and learning to not take anything I get to see beneath the waves for granted. And I'm humbled to be a part of a community of caretakers for the water world that gives me meaning. Thank you SSL for letting me tag along. I wish my dang audio recorder hadn't decided to be so starstruck. Thanks to all the SSL partners who made that day possible: @reefcheckfoundation , @MontereyBayAquarium , @hopkinsmarinestation , @csumb , @MossLandingMarineLab and Phil Sammet's Underwater Company Music: @WhiteBatAudio !! ___ Make shore to like and sub-scribe and comment for the algal rhythm!
