 Lounge-chair adventuring can be almost as much fun...
 | | Cowes Week collision between yacht Atlanta and tanker - photos by Herbert Westervelt . |
Even if you are unfortunate enough never to set foot in a sailing boat it is a great adventure just keeping track of what's going on in the non-competitive sailing world! Great to read about the sailing feats, the adventures (and misadventures), cruising tales, the new gizmos, the business dramas and the rest along our own shores and on others around the world.
Taking the Idiot's Prize in the most embarrassing incident of the week, 33ft British yacht Atlanta of Chester was either calling right-of-way over a 120,000 tonne tanker(she had the tanker to port), or thought she could sneak past the bow. See the video in the story...
Bruce Arms is now in the vicinity of Tasmania, just about to escape from the driving conditions of the Southern Ocean and make his home run to Mooloolaba to claim a new record for a solo circumnavigation of Australia - however it hasn't been all smooth sailing...
A warning to all sailors to be cautious when crossing a bar - another two boats rolled on the Ballina bar this week. You'll also find some handy hints for skill building for that less-skilled sailing partner; and the product of the week is Yellowbrick 3 – what a tough little beauty it is too.
A couple of cruising tales – from Canada and the Mediterranean - might make you drool to be there, and, talking of drooling, wouldn't I love to be sailing in the cruising rally being organised by Sunsail in the Canary Islands. I was there a few years ago, at that time sailing myself around the world, but would have loved to stay longer to explore...if you can't be there, what about the coming multihull rally in the Whitsundays?
So many whales off the coast, and no lack of incidents - Did you know humpback whales cannot hear you at all?
All these stories and more, so browse down the headlines to see what catches your interest, and...
Sweet sailing!
