Stephen & Estelle Cockcroft of Catamaran Guru set to cross near Channel Cay in the Bahamas and encountered not only a bit of seasick-y waters, but also had to turn back due to a failed shackle on the mainsail that came crashing down. Just another day in the life of a sailor! Check out all their tips on sailing and living aboard at https://catamaranguru.com/lifestyle/cruising-resources.

Oktober 2019 - Französisch Polynesien/Moorea „Ihr könnt da nicht so dicht bleiben!“, hören wir den Polynesier hinter uns rufen. „Kommt da raus!“ Ob zu unserem Schutz oder dem der Wale bleibt er uns schuldig. Der junge Mann sitzt in seinem Kanu ein gutes Stück entfernt und hat leicht reden. Achim rudert mal hierhin, mal dorthin. Sie kommen trotzdem dichter. Wir treiben mit unserem Dinghy am Ausgang der Bucht. Hier tummeln sich den ganzen Tag die Wale. Whale Watching mit Garantie. Der Außenborder ist aus. Wir hocken schon eine ganze Zeit in unserem winzigen Schlauchboot und warten. Zunächst tauchen in angemessener Entfernung Rücken auf und hinter uns bläst es. Man soll nicht auf die Wale zufahren, soll einen Sicherheitsabstand einhalten. Wenn Boote Kurs auf die Wale nehmen, drehen sie meistens sowieso ab. Wir hocken und beobachten. Eine Mutter und Kalb spielen Fangen. Sie kommen immer näher. Da scheint das Kalb unser Dinghy zu sehen. „Mama, bitte heute mal ‚People Watching‘.“ Mutter Wal gibt nach, die beiden kommen direkt auf uns zu. Zum Anfassen nah. Achim muss das Paddel vom Dinghy zur Seite nehmen, um Platz zu machen. Uns klopft das Herz bis zum Hals. Die sind einfach nur groß! Keine falsche Bewegung jetzt, nicht dass die Mutter nervös wird. In den letzten Wochen sind die Kälber hier im warmen Wasser geboren worden. Vier Meter lange Brocken mit 800 Kilo Gewicht. Die Mutter ist zwischen elf bis fünfzehn Meter lang. In der Spitze wird ein Buckelwal auch schon mal achtzehn Meter. Manchmal werden die Tiere übermütig, hauen mit ihren Flippern um sich oder schlagen mit ihrer Fluke aufs Wasser ein. Sie können ihren tonnenschweren Körper komplett aus dem Wasser schrauben, sich in der Luft drehen und klatschen wie eine Bombe ins Meer zurück. Unsere beiden haben damit nichts im Sinn. Das Kalb guckt einmal freundlich in unsere GoPro und dann drehen beide ab.

We are Ben and MP! Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted 70ft wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the works needed were a lot more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.

Leopard 45/47 Catamaran For Sale By Owner Location: San Blas, Panama Asking: $359,000 (USD) Additional catamaran photos, details, and equipment list as well as seller contact information can be viewed at: https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/#post-60461 S/V Althea is a newly redone 2000 Leopard 45/47 catamaran, for sale by owner. Althea has had her sugar scoops extended by 2 feet to a total of 47 feet to enhance her performance in 2023. The classic Leopard 45, also known as the Moorings 4500, was designed by Morrelli and Melvin and built by Robertson & Caine in South Africa. When it was introduced in 1997, the Leopard 45 was selected by Cruising World Magazine as “Charter Boat of the Year” and quickly built an outstanding reputation in the Moorings and Sunsail charter fleets. These catamarans set the standard for comfort, ease of sailing and performance when they were introduced. The layout allows easy movement about the boat from the spacious aft deck, a step down to the swimming platform, or relaxing on the foredeck trampoline. The innovative deck layout brings a host of features to make life and sailing simplicity itself. From the aft deck arch that puts the mainsail sheeting system out of harm's way, to the ingenious anchoring system, sailing the Leopard 45 is a breeze. The Leopard 45 has robust shaft drives and skeg protected rudders making it well suited to cruising in remote areas.

After an awkward beginning to the regatta yesterday, the RC44 World Championship Marina de Sotogrande fleet racing got underway, providing a reminder to helmsmen, tacticians and crew on all 11 yachts that this Andalusian venue lies just 25km from Gibraltar and the open Atlantic beyond. Racing today was held in stiff 20+ knot winds that topped out at 27 knots, creating boat speeds of 20+ knots, plus a worthy test for crews. After race one, the fleet was ordered back to Sotogrande Marina when a giant grey cloud crossed the course, obscured the rock of Gibraltar, while emptying its contents upon the crews. The 2016 RC44 World Championship Marina de Sotogrande is the second event of the 2016 Championship Tour, which pitts the world's top businessmen and the best sailors in the industry compete in high performance one-design 44-foot carbon racing yachts.

Segunda parte del nuestra experiencia con nuestro Oceanis 45, S/V Tuvalu en la ARC 2019. En este segundo tramo durante unos 5 o 6 días estuvimos recibiendo pequeñas tormentas, que nos obligaba a estar pendientes de recoger trapo. La rutina se apodera a estas altura de la navegación, pasando las guardias y tramos de descanso de forma continuada.

10 avril, aujourd’hui les amis, ce n’est pas le « kikidubistouquin » ! Cherchez pas dans un dico les bananas, c’est l’expression de mon petit mari de ces derniers jours ! j’vous le dis-moi, il est bizarre ! Mais qu’est-ce que vous voulez, plus il est tracassé mon capitaine, plus il s’égare dans ces aliénations. Ce n’est pas moi qui vais m’en plaindre, j’adore quand il me fait rire et plus je rigole, plus il se prend au jeu de la plaisanterie. Ça nous amuse beaucoup et surtout nous fait penser à autre chose que notre supplice de Tantale (et non, notre supplice de l’emmental, pfff, la blague à deux balles !). Notre calvaire n’est pas de ne pouvoir ni manger ni boire mais comme pour le fils de Zeus, la nature nous fait subir. « Les branches des arbres fruitiers s’écartant et l’eau refluant chaque fois qu’il tentait de se nourrir ou d’épancher sa soif », le vent les éloignant et le courant les repoussant chaque fois qu’ils tentaient de s’approcher des terres ! Pour tout dire, hier soir notre traceur annonçait Farquhar à trois jours, ce matin la même île se trouve à onze jours de nous, cherchez l’erreur ! 68,9 milles en vingt-quatre heures, c’est désespérant, je me demande si nous ne faisons pas les milles à reculons ! Pourtant non, nos points 9º31'885 S et 55º38'265 E prouvent que nous progressons, certes pas forcement dans la bonne direction mais nous avançons ! Cyril repousse tant qu’il le peut l’instant fatidique du démarrage moteur, mais à onze heures trente, nous ne pouvons plus rien tirer de la respiration apnéique d’Éole, et Pontos fait son maximum pour nous faire fléchir ! Presque en hyperthermie, l’homme de la situation pose sa main sur le contact, il s’apprête à actionner l’allumage, sent une risée, hésite et sachant bien que le moment est venu, déclenche le préchauffage… La mécanique s’active, l’engin embraye, Black Lion se déplace mais le problème persiste ! À 2400 tours, le bruit de patinage est trop fréquent, à 2500, il est encore récurrent, à 2600, occasionnel mais toujours présent. Nous n’avons d’autre choix que le mettre à 2700 tours, mais cette alternative insinue que notre gasoil va diminuer beaucoup plus vite. Les niveaux sont déjà à moitié vides ou disons plutôt à moitié pleins pour rester positifs, cette quantité représente, cinquante heures. Deux jours au cas où la calmasse dure mais surtout au cas où nous devions entrer par une passe pour nous mettre à l’abris. Nous éprouvons une sincère considération envers nos précurseurs qui naviguaient au sextant et sans moteur ! Quel courage ! Servons-nous de leur exemple pour relativiser ! Certainement pour ne pas ruminer sur nos conditions futures de navigation, nous sommes en hyper activité désopilante ! Pour entrer en matière, c’est coupe de cheveux du capitaine sur le trampoline ! Il a eu chaud aux oreilles mon fidèle habitué de la tondeuse… Et pour me persuader que nous n’avions pas de terre à vue, j’ai fini perchée à la première barre de flèche avec un drôle d’insecte télécommandé qui me tourné autour ! Tout est bon pour détourner notre attention de ces conditions climatiques lunatique… En ce vendredi Saint, jour du poisson, nous essayons de contrer notre infortune à la pêche. Nous devons absolument trouver une feinte, car tout ce que nous avons testé jusqu’à présent n’est pas super efficace. Mer plate, déchainée, belle, moche, en allant vite, pas vite, aux poulpes, à la cuillère, aux rapalas, à la turlute, rien à faire ! Nous devons tout miser, et pour ça, une méthode, multiplier nos chances par quatre ! Pas moins de quatre lignes trainent derrière notre Blacky ! Nous avons même donné un petit surnom à chacun de nos leurres, en les motivant à fond ! Les amis, ça ne s’arrange carrément pas, on se met à parler à tout ce que l’on croise…jugez par vous-même, Cyril a même parlé à son verre vide de rhum d’hier soir qu’il avait oublié sur le pont ! Et nous nous mettons à nous égosiller après un fou qui veut absolument atterrir sur notre anémomètre ! Où va-t-on les copains, je vous le demande, où va-t-on ? Enfin, si vous avez la réponse, n’hésitez pas à nous la donner parce que là les cocos, c’est le flou total ! Il est dix-huit heures vingt, une petite risée semble vouloir nous stabiliser entre 2 et 3 nœuds avec GV et Gennak, cap Nord-ouest. Ce soir, les nuages voilent notre couchant mais qu’importe, nous sommes euphoriques, nous nous repassons en boucle le Tube de « l’été » improvisé de Cyril ! Je suis fan, c’est du grand n’importe quoi…
