2026 National Championships at Chelsea YC - Part 8

In depth video view of my Welsford Scraps "Lil' FREDA". Departing from JW's plan, I built her to split apart and 'nest' inside the cockpit of GRACE my welsford Tread Lightly. No need to stow her in the cockpit or on foredeck etc when taking Grace to a different location. She assembles in less than 5 minutes and even assembled is a breeze to lift single handed and carry some disatnce! She easily fits in thje back of my Subaru wagon too. Scraps design is sooooo slippery thru the water and such a lovely little vessell to row without effort. Small, so care is needed, but she's a winner!

What is it like to spend a day in the Northwest Passage on an expedition cruise with HX? For some, it’s the profound stillness of the High Arctic, shaped by sea ice, vast horizons, and a powerful sense of remoteness. Nothing can truly prepare you for the experience of reaching the Northwest Passage for the first time, but we can at least try to give you a sense of what it’s like. From navigating historic waterways once sought by early explorers, to going ashore in remote Arctic landscapes and encountering wildlife adapted to life in the far north, feel the thrill of exploring the Northwest Passage with HX. 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.

Il Sun Odyssey 455 rappresenta un nuovo capitolo della nona generazione della storica gamma Jeanneau. Presentato ufficialmente a fine 2025, questo cruiser puro di 14 metri si posiziona nella gamma come il successore del celebre 440, prendendo anche il posto del 490 nel segmento degli armatori che cercano una barca spaziosa ma gestibile. Progettato dal binomio Marc Lombard (architettura navale) e Jean-Marc Piaton (interni). Il Walk-around Deck non poteva ovviamente mancare essendo ormai un marchio di fabbrica: si conferma anche sul 455 l’ormai iconico passavanti inclinato di Jeanneau, che permette di muoversi dal pozzetto alla prua senza dover scavalcare le panche, eliminando ostacoli e aumentando drasticamente la sicurezza. - News di vela ogni giorno su http://www.giornaledellavela.com - Facebook https://www.facebook.com/giornaledellavela - Instagram https://www.instagram.com/giornaledellavela - Salone della nautica - The Digital Boat Show https://www.milanoyachtingweek.com/ - Shop di prodotti esclusivi Boatique.it https://www.boatique.it Clicca qui per scoprire le formule di abbonamento al Giornale della Vela https://subscribe.giornaledellavela.com/ - DISCLAIMER Il presente video è stato creato a scopo divulgativo.

Il trasferimento della nostra barca a vela #Etap32s attraverso il Mar Adriatico. Episodio 1 di 2. Leggi l'articolo completo sul nostro blog: https://www.sailingpani.it/300-miglia-per-conoscerci-trasferimento/ Una barca a vela “nuova”, il mare Adriatico e un trasferimento verso nord. In questi due video raccontiamo le prime miglia a bordo della nostra #Etap32s, dalle coste del Molise a quelle del Friuli, fino alla nostra Lignano Sabbiadoro, dove torniamo dopo quattro anni di navigazione nel Mar Tirreno con la precedente #Etap24i. È la storia di un trasferimento ricco di emozioni: navigazione costiera e d’altura, porti, soste, condizioni meteo variabili. Ma soprattutto sono le prime vere miglia di una barca appena arrivata, che non conosciamo ancora e che avrebbe bisogno di diversi lavori che non abbiamo potuto completare prima della partenza, perché nessun cantiere aveva disponibilità prima della fine dell’estate. Navigheremo con prese a mare in condizioni critiche, vele a fine vita e una batteria che, a metà percorso, si surriscalda e si gonfia in modo preoccupante. E poi tanti altri aspetti che rendono questo trasferimento un’esperienza insieme tecnica e personale, fatta di scelte quotidiane, rotte, tempi e silenzi. Questo viaggio segna l’inizio di una nuova fase: conoscere la barca, imparare a fidarci della nostra Beltane e capire come si comporta in navigazione, costruendo miglio dopo miglio un rapporto che nasce solo in mare.

At the east coast of the island Lesbos, in a small town called Sigri, we walked past a church called Agios Theofanis Theophanes Sugrianis lived in the 16th century and became known as a monk and spiritual leader during a period when the island was under Ottoman rule. His name is still spoken with respect by residents of the region. Inside, the church turned out to be richly decorated, with traditional golden icons and oil lamps that are characteristic of the Greek Orthodox, almost mystical architectural style. Take a look with us inside the church.

Interview with a Captain Franco Cronje to discuss a pattern we’ve both observed in the industry: when rotational command isn’t fully aligned, crew churn quietly increases. During our conversation, we broke down the real issue — and more importantly, the solution: Alignment before rotation. Shared command philosophy. Structured handovers. One operational voice — even with two captains. Wishing everyone working at sea strong bridges, cohesive teams, and true unity onboard. #yachtcaptain #spinnakermagazine #interview #poscast #yachting

Lo sapevi che puoi avere acqua calda a bordo anche durante la navigazione… senza accendere il boiler? 🚤🔥 In questo video analizziamo un dettaglio tecnico tanto semplice quanto fondamentale: il collegamento tra boiler nautico e circuito chiuso di raffreddamento del motore. Grazie al contributo del perito nautico Piero Ragazzi scopriamo come funziona il sistema, perché è così comodo in estate e quale accorgimento adottare per evitare rischi seri durante le lunghe navigazioni. Un piccolo intervento può fare una grande differenza in termini di sicurezza e affidabilità. 👉 Scopri di più sui nostri servizi e sulle barche disponibili: https://www.abayachting.com 💪 Punti di forza e vantaggi a bordo: ✅ Acqua calda senza corrente elettrica Durante la navigazione il boiler sfrutta il circuito chiuso di raffreddamento del motore per scaldare l’acqua sanitaria, evitando di utilizzare la resistenza elettrica. ✅ Massima efficienza in estate Con il motore acceso hai sempre acqua calda a disposizione, ideale dopo un bagno o durante le soste in rada. ✅ Attenzione alle perdite nel circuito Una perdita nel collegamento tra motore e boiler può svuotare il circuito chiuso di raffreddamento, causando lo spegnimento del motore. ✅ Valvole di intercettazione: intervento semplice e strategico Installare due valvole su mandata e ritorno permette di isolare il boiler durante navigazioni impegnative, riducendo drasticamente i rischi. ✅ Sicurezza prima di tutto Con un investimento contenuto (circa 200€) si previene un potenziale fermo motore in navigazione: un’accortezza tecnica che ogni armatore dovrebbe valutare. Affidarsi a professionisti significa conoscere anche questi dettagli tecnici che fanno la differenza tra una navigazione serena e un problema in mare. 📞 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 #nautica #barcheavela #motoremarino #boilernautico #sicurezzainmare #consiglinavigazione

Faded flag? Worn-out textiles? We may have found a game changer… 👀 In this video, we test Flagstuff from Gloss Factory—a Norwegian product that claims to restore color and shine to tired, sun-bleached fabrics using nano enzyme technology. Our test subject? A seriously worn Norwegian flag that’s been flying on the boat for far too long… to the point where it’s honestly a bit embarrassing. Can this product actually bring it back to life? Or is it too good to be true? We take you through the full process—application, technique, and of course the results—filmed with the Rock of Gibraltar in the background. If this works, it could be a must-have for anyone dealing with faded textiles on board. 👉 Link to the product: https://www.garasjetid.no/nyheter/flaggstoff Note: This video is dubbed from Norwegian. Thanks for watching—and let us know what you think… 😄

NMEA 2000 (often written **N2K**) is the standard marine network used to connect instruments on boats—GPS, wind sensors, engine data, autopilot, tank levels, etc.—into one shared system. Think of it like the boat’s internal “internet,” but built for reliability and real-time data. Given you’re sailing and already running systems like Signal K and onboard electronics, this is exactly the backbone tying everything together. --- # 🧭 What NMEA 2000 actually is At its core, NMEA 2000 is: * A **CAN bus network** (same tech used in cars) * Running at **250 kbps** * Using a **backbone + drop cable architecture** * With standardized connectors (usually **Micro-C**) ### Key concepts: * **Backbone (trunk):** Main cable running through the boat * **Drop cables:** Short cables connecting devices to the backbone * **T-connectors:** Where devices plug into the backbone * **Terminators:** Required resistors at each end of the backbone * **Power injection:** 12V power supplied into the network --- # ⚙️ How the network is structured Here’s the mental model: ``` [Terminator]—[T]—[T]—[T]—[T]—[Terminator] | | | GPS Wind MFD ``` * The **horizontal line = backbone** * The **vertical lines = drop cables to devices** --- # 🔌 Components you need ### 1. Backbone cable * Thick cable running the length of your boat ### 2. T-connectors * One per device * Backbone plugs into left/right * Device plugs into the bottom ### 3. Drop cables * Short cables from device → T-connector * Max length: **6 meters** ### 4. Terminators (CRITICAL) * One **male** and one **female** * Must be at **each end of the backbone** ### 5. Power cable * Injects 12V into the network * Typically connected near the middle of the backbone --- # ⚡ Wiring step-by-step ## Step 1 — Build the backbone Start by laying out your T-connectors: ``` [T]—[T]—[T]—[T] ``` Then connect them side-by-side to form a line. --- ## Step 2 — Add terminators At both ends: ``` [Terminator]—[T]—[T]—[T]—[T]—[Terminator] ``` 👉 Without terminators, the network **won’t work properly**. --- ## Step 3 — Add power Insert a power cable into one T: * Red → +12V (fused, usually 3–5A) * Black → Ground ⚠️ Important: * Only **ONE power source** on the network * Do NOT power from multiple devices --- ## Step 4 — Connect devices Each device gets: * A drop cable * Plugged into a T-connector Example: ``` [T] → GPS [T] → Chartplotter [T] → Wind sensor ``` --- ## Step 5 — Turn it on Once powered: * Devices auto-detect each other * Data flows automatically (plug-and-play) --- # 📏 Important rules (people often get wrong) ### 1. Total backbone length * Max: **~100 meters** ### 2. Drop cable length * Max: **6 meters per device** ### 3. Total drop length * Max combined: **78 meters** ### 4. Power * Inject near the center of the backbone * Avoid powering from one extreme end --- # 🧠 How data works (simple view) Devices broadcast messages called **PGNs (Parameter Group Numbers)** Example: * GPS → position * Wind sensor → wind angle/speed * Engine → RPM, temp All devices can “listen” to all data. --- # 🔗 Integrating with your setup (important for you) Since you're already using: * Signal K * Grafana * Onboard systems You’ll likely want: ### 👉 NMEA 2000 → Signal K gateway Examples: * Actisense NGT-1 * Yacht Devices USB Gateway * CANable (DIY option) This lets you: * Log NMEA 2000 data * Visualize it in Grafana * Automate (like your anchor logging system) --- # ⚠️ Common mistakes ❌ Missing terminators ❌ Powering network from multiple points ❌ Using drop cables as backbone ❌ Exceeding cable lengths ❌ Mixing NMEA 0183 directly (needs converter) --- # 🧰 Minimal working setup example If you wanted the simplest network: * 2x Terminators * 3x T-connectors * 1x Power cable * 1x GPS * 1x Chartplotter That’s it—you’ve got a working NMEA 2000 network. --- # 🧭 Practical tip for your boat Given your Bavaria 44 and offshore setup: * Run backbone along **main cable routes (port or starboard side)** * Place T-connectors near: * Helm * Nav station * Engine panel * Keep drops short and clean * Label everything (huge time saver later) ---
