In the near future, sailboats will be used for scientific missions instead of large vessels.

Today, a well-designed and certified sailing vessel, operated by a team of trained scientists, could carry out multidisciplinary hydro-oceanographic campaigns.

Sailing a yacht in bad weather is a situation that all sailors are likely to encounter. Wind, rain or rough seas can play a trick on us, so being prepared, knowing how to act and keeping calm will help to minimise any danger.

There is no good sailor who is not aware of the importance of maintaining all the boat’s equipment, both to extend its useful life and for his own safety, and the care of the ropes could not be less important.

Climbing harnesses are secure, and offer unparalleled mobility and hoist height. But most of them are uncomfortable to hang in, and can’t hold gear, like the pocket on a bosun’s chair can.

Did you know that the ocean occupies 71% of the planet’s surface? More than 90% of the living biomass is in them.
