Have you ever taken on water? Has it ever happened to you at 2 am, to wake up aboard your sailboat, sailing and putting your feet on the ground feeling wet?

I went to the 60th Genoa International Motor Show Some friends came to see me and we had decided to go to the boat show on Saturday morning.

What is that? Simple … it’s a textile ladder, with aluminum pegs, which is used to be hoisted, with the mainsail halyard to go up into the masthead. Very interesting the system that as shown in the video is sold by Osculati. Presented in Paris and Berlin successfully. How does it work? Simple, connect the shackle on top of this […]
“Giornale Luce” of January 1935 From Stockholm … For the lovers of life on the sea: here is a model of yacht built with a new system that aims to reduce the veiling to eliminate the risk and the difficulty of managing numerous sails, when the wind is raging.

We came from Ustica, the Ustica auctioneer. We left the Ustica marina early in the morning and set the sails in such a way that we could make a nice, light and fluid navigation. There was a beautiful sea breeze that allowed us to sail with a Yankee, sling and mainsail. During our navigation we also freed a turtle from […]
