The first day of the Bacardi Cup for the Stars was on the light side, but 3 false starts and a black flag were enough to make it dramatic for some of the teams. Thank you John Hokanson and Stuart MacIntosh from Chester Yacht Club in Nova Scotia for carrying the onboard camera today!

Full test in Multihulls World #135: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/swiss-cat-s2c-45-cruising-with-a-haute-couture-label Within the international offering of Multihulls, the Swiss Cats have a unique position. Thanks to their superior build quality and the standard of their equipment they sit more comfortably in the "mini-yacht" category. They are clearly targeting experienced sailors who are also looking for a high performance machine. A 60 mile delivery after the Cannes boat show with a Mistral blowing was an ideal opportunity to put the brand new 45' through its paces.

La griffe Swiss Cat est parfaitement identifiable ; elle affirme une pointe d’agressivité, témoigne visiblement du souci du détail, compose artistiquement avec les lignes et les proportions, et intègre les superbes composants techniques avec une habileté studieuse. Construit sur moule femelle en sandwich mousse/verre/époxy, le 45’ est peint et non gelcoaté. Il s’agit en fait d’un système complet d’une haute durabilité fourni par Jotun (le leader norvégien des laques de yacht), appliqué dans les meilleures conditions par une équipe spécialisée. La profondeur de la teinte est perceptible au premier coup d’œil et confère au bateau une classe évidente. Pas plus fragile qu’un gel coat dans des mains avisées, beaucoup plus étanche, la reprise d’un voile de surface ne sera nécessaire que sur de longues durées (10 ans). La silhouette générale exprime des lignes tendues sobres, actuelles, sans clin d’œil aux effets de mode. Le très beau gréement et la conception novatrice de la poutre avant rehaussent la perception d’une unité haut de gamme bien campée dans son programme et ses ambitions.

A recap of the Key Learning Points to take away from the sailing environment and the next steps you should take to ensure you understand them comprehensively.

An informative video on boat safety and what to do when a man falls overboard when sailing a dinghy.

An informative video on how to be aware of the environment around you when sailing a dinghy.

An introduction to some of the rules you should adhere to when sailing a dinghy.

Some practical examples of rules to adhere to when dinghy sailing

The essential factors are most commonly known as the five essentials. These are factors considered the most important to allow a boat to sail to its full potential. Each factor is as important as the other, and as one changes there is a knock on effect on the others. When you go on a course you will most probably find this called the 5 essentials. However we think that what the wind is doing is SO important that this should be included in this section as well and have made ours a list of six essentials. Wind awareness is the only essential that happens outside of the boat but it has a DIRECT impact on absolutely everything that happens on board a boat. You MUST understand where the wind is blowing from at all times afloat to allow you the best chance to then look at and understand the other factors in turn. Without understanding where the wind is blowing from there is a risk you will be lost and not fully understand what to do with regard to the remaining factors. This video introduces the concept of the essential factors and illustrates what to look for.

An informative video on what to wear when participating in dinghy sailing.

The essential factors of sailing. Part 2 of 9: Wind awareness is the key to sailing. You MUST build an awareness of what the wind is doing and bear in mind that this is fixed to the environment. As the boat turns the wind moves. Think of the wind as the top of a compass dial that is floating in the water and as your boat turns you are turning on this compass dial. As you walk along the street try to look at the wind, building an instant understanding of the wind and its direction. This is a really big thing to get to grips with and forms the understanding of absolutely everything else that happens on your boat.

The essential factors of sailing. Part 3 of 9: Sail setting Close-hauled. This is when you are sailing upwind. Basically pull the control sheets tight and steer the boat to find the edge of the no go zone. This keeps you right on the edge of the close-hauled point of sail and you need to concentrate to claw your way upwind.

The essential factors of sailing. Part 4 of 9: Sail setting Reaching. Sails generate maximum power when they are not flapping. I call it flag mode when they flap. You are trying to have a gentle and smooth curve on the sail. The only exception is if you get overpowered and you want to dump some power. But until that point find the point when the sail just fills evenly. Ease the sail control lines called sheets until they start to flutter, then pull them in until they stop fluttering.

The essential factors of sailing. Part 5 of 9: Boat balance. Try to keep the boat flat at all times. they just go faster. Think of turning when on ice skates, what do you do? lean on one leg and you turn. Boats behave the same way. Heel over and it will turn. to keep going straight you apply rudder which causes huge drag. When coaching this is a BIG offender to peoples boat speed. Keep it flat makes the rudder straight, with less drag which means more speed.

The essential factors of sailing. Part 6 of 9: Boat trim is arguably the biggest offender for poor sailing. When learning a big mistake is to sit too far back. Boat trim maximises the waterline length with a smooth entry and exit for the water. Boats when they are not planing are capable of a speed that is the square root of twice the waterline length. When planing is introduced which is when the wind picks up and you are sailing across or away from the wind, different rules apply and you need to move back

The essential factors of sailing. Part 7 of 9: Course sailed. you must keep an eye on where you are trying to get to. One common mistake we see time and time again is folk happily sailing along and not really paying much attention to where they are trying to get to. Course sailed is the shortest distance sailed to reach your intended destination. Particularly when racing you need to sail the shortest distance

The essential factors of sailing. Part 8 of 9: Centreboard. The centreboard is sometimes called daggerboard. This is due to how the board is installed in the boat. daggerboard rides up and down and a centreboard pivots and hides in an internal case on the boat. The centreboard is used to counteract the sideways force of the sail when they are pulled in. Mainly used on close-hauled or upwind legs, the centreboard is progressively raised as the boat turns away from the wind.

The essential factors of sailing. Part 8 of 9: Key learning points. These are the key points we want you to remember. Use this video as a revision for the essential factors. It is vital to keep looking at all the essential factors as you sail along. They are all interlinked and as one changes there is a knock on effect to the others.

Rigging can be a complex process with a variety of ropes and lines and hooks. It is a basic process to understand as you learn how to sail. Understanding what they all do is important because it allows you to know wht rope does what and how to rig the boat effectively and safely. A badly rigged boat can be hazardous and potentially dangerous so take the time to get it right

Learning to sail will mean you must know how to reef. Reefing is the term used to describe the action of reducing he amount of sail area. By reducing sail size in a controlled manner the boat will still sail but with less drive from the sail. The benefit to the sailor particularly when learning is that the process will allow you to sail in a wider range of wind conditions and perhaps sail on windier days where a capsize is very likely if you don't reef. This short video will help you to see how a modern sailboat is reefed and get the best out of your sessions as you learn how to sail

Take 30 years of innovation in catamaran design, 40 years of the finest, most advanced research and development in American yacht manufacturing, passion, customer feedback, craftsmanship, and an entirely new, collaborative way of doing business and the result is.......... stunning.

Watch Gemini Hull 1154 make her journey from the factory in Florida to Navy Pier in Chicago. The Gemini Legacy 35 made its mid-West debut at the Chicago Boat Show and sailed away with top honors as Best in Show. She made her own legacy as the first-ever cruising catamaran to appear at this event. For more information about the Gemini Legacy 35, visit geminicatamarans.com

Designed by the architects Van Peteghem and Lauriot Prévost (VPLP) in association with the Lagoon R&D department, the Lagoon 620 is an innovative solution to the needs of today's cruising yachtsman : Strength, comfort, performance and large choice of layouts. Visit www.catamarans.com for more information.

The Lagoon 52, the latest model developed by the world's leading builder of cruising catamarans, marks a whole new era in the design of such boats, as indeed did its predecessor, the famed Lagoon 500. With its diamond-shaped vertical bows, bevelled hulls, its as if levitated deckhouse and tall rig, the Lagoon 52 is no ordinary catamaran, but its originality goes a great deal further than just its "outer" appearance, or even its interior layout. Visit www.catamarans.com for more information.

Replacing a catamaran that has come to be seen as a benchmark is no easy task. But the VPLP architects, in partnership with Lagoon and the celebrated Nauta Design studio, have been brilliantly successful in creating the new Lagoon 450.

TMC President, Phillip Berman, discusses the pros and cons of purchasing a new and used catamaran.

Watch us add 5 feet to our 32 foot cruising catamaran (http://www.lightwave99.com). We cut our boat right in half so we could create a passageway between the hulls. It was a bigger project than we expected (took 4 months and 1,000 hours), but our boat is now roomier, faster, and nicer looking. So if you ever wanted to know what you could do with a SawzAll reciprocating saw and lots of epoxy, watch this video as it redefines extreme boatbuilding! This video is the "Boat Improvement" version of "Home Improvement".

He was being filmed by a friend who was documenting our hero’s progress, who was explaining the many jobs still to do on the project. As he went through his list his face changed from joy to sadness and then horror as the realisation of the nightmare he had created for himself slowly dawned on him. He told the cameraman to go shove it as he buried his sobbing head in his arms. One month in, will it be the same for us? Sorry to disappoint those who want to see us suffer, but so far we’re thoroughly enjoying our refit experience. It can be frustrating at times, especially when the boat is wallowing in micro particles of fibreglass and saw-dust, the noise is deafening and you’re constantly itching from all the crap in the air. Fortunately Liz and I are blessed with foresight and positivity: we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, even if it is rather dim… Quick Summary Video Not everyone wants to read. It’s a Sunday and you’ve got kids to feed and church to attend, so we’re moving our weekly summary video to the beginning of the post. After watching you can read in more detail below each job, along with lots of pics. (See clip) Erection Of The Tent Perhaps the biggest event of the week was the erection of Esper’s circus tent. It took the yard workers (all ten of them) two days to complete and would have had British Health and Safety officers produce litters of kittens. Like Indian rope climbers, skinny Burmese lads shimmied up poles as their colleagues held on to the bases, mounted in concrete-filled tyres, so the frame could be lowered by the crane and slotted into position. Unfortunately for our trapeze artistes, the lads didn’t always remember to hold on to the poles! At one point one of the lads almost brought down the entire construction as he hoisted himself up an unsupported pole and brought the thing down horizontal to the boat. The frame was pretty much in position by the end of the first day, so the second day was spent throwing heavy tarps over the framework. Gotta say these boys, the same ones who fitted our cradle in the slip and hoisted us out, work as hard as anyone else, despite the fact they’re the ones working in midday heat. Needless to say they’re all pretty fit. This clip is to accompany the blog post on our refit.
