RORC Shares Hard Won Wisdom for the Round Britain & Ireland Race On 30 April,100 days to go before the start of the 50th anniversary of the Round Britain & Ireland Race on 09 August, the Royal Ocean Racing Club held a live webinar. The recording is now available to watch, giving sailors, supporters and prospective entrants the chance to hear practical advice from those who know the race from the inside. The hour long presentation brought together a highly experienced panel with nine race campaigns between them. The aim was to help competitors prepare for one of the Club’s great offshore challenges. Hosted by RORC Vice Commodore Derek Shakespeare, who will be taking part in his first race. The panel brought together professional, Corinthian, military and double handed perspectives, with contributions from Derek Shakespeare, Pip Hare, RORC Commodore Deb Fish, Will Naylor and Sam White. The aim was clear: to share insight, reduce uncertainty and help crews prepare properly for a race that demands far more than simple endurance.

Finalmente conseguimos juntar imagens num vídeo singelo para compartilhar com vocês mais um trecho da nossa travessia. Foi a calmaria mais forte na história do Planckton, uma experiência única e com desafios próprios. E de uma beleza e paz indescritíveis. Um exercício de confiança e aceitação, de viver o momento e não ter pressa de chegar, de acordar os sentidos e observar os detalhes que sempre passaram desapercebidos. Nós três sempre curtimos muito estar lá fora, e o Bruno casa muito bem com o nosso astral. O fato de termos comunicação sem limites via inreach foi essencial para essa paz toda. Recebíamos diariamente a previsão do tempo e estratégia que o Thierry Stump nos enviava, e pudemos também manter a família informada da nossa festa em alto mar. Antigamente, talvez, dependendo somente do SSB, a família teria ficado ansiosa. Mas, não abrimos mão do velho e bom SSB, e falamos quase todos os dias com o Marenga, em Fernando de Noronha. Caso houvesse falha no nosso sistema ele faria a ponte com o mundo para nós. As noites em alto mar são marcantes. Quando não tem lua o céu fica coalhado de estrelas. E o mar, ah o mar, nem sei como descrever e fazer jus ao encantamento que causa. Os plânctons bioluminescentes eram tão grandes e brilhantes que nossa esteira parecia um foguete, e as cristas das ondas piscavam nessa cor azul neon. É hipnotizante! Uma pena não ser possível registrar esse fenômeno. E nas noites de lua cheia...ela surge do mar como um segundo sol acobreado no céu rajado das cores do por do sol. O sargaço, o mergulho no infinito azul, as caravelas portuguesas, os plânctons bioluminescentes, a lua cheia, o céu forrado de estrelas, as aves e animais marinhos, a companhia do Igor, do Bruno, os papos, as risadas, a flotilha reunida, Songster e Barba Negra, as conversas pelo rádio, o carinho do Thierry, da família e dos amigos chegando até nós via satélite... tudo e mais um pouco preenchem nossa alma de GRATIDÃO. Se você tiver alguma pergunta técnica, sobre o velejo, as estratégias, o barco, ou alguma curiosidade... fique a vontade para perguntar, estamos aqui prontos a responder. bons ventos!! Depois contamos nossa chegada e estadia nos Açores.

Everyone enjoys seeing dolphins round their boat. And it seems catamarans attract more dolphins than monohulls. Presumably because the two bows are more fun to play with - and yes dolphins definitely play on the bow waves. We've seen two swim fast under the bridgedeck from port stern to starboard bow and vice versa, crossing underneath and seeing how close to the bow they could get. And we've seen the other dolphins clearly laughing at the one who hit our bow when cutting it too fine. That didn't happen this time, but here's a recent video taken when sailing our 30ft Sagitta catamaran from Fowey to Plymouth. Unusually for the English Channel it was clear, flat water so we could watch them easily.

We set sail from beautiful Orpheus Island and made our way out to John Brewer Reef, one of the most unique spots on the Great Barrier Reef. Picking up a mooring right on the reef, we had front-row access to crystal-clear aquamarine water, vibrant coral, and an underwater experience like no other – the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA). Snorkelling around the sculptures was both surreal and breathtaking, with marine life weaving through the artwork, making it feel like nature and art had become one. Add to that some incredible reef scenery, sunshine, and perfect conditions – and this was an unforgettable stop that truly lived up to the hype. Every sail out to the reef builds our confidence, and this trip was one for the memory books – a must-do if you’re sailing or snorkelling around Townsville. Thanks for watching.

How to change the engine anode on a Yanmar 1GM10

The boats diesel engine, a Japanese farm engine, marinized, was hard to find parts for, and my batteries needed to be helped, with some being OK and others not. I went 'Solar + LiPo4' and a 48 volt system to push an electric inboard, put this vid is of 8 HP electric outboard on a hinged half an Avon that pretends to be a swim platform that can hold outboards.
