Featured Article: Help.. Someone took two
meters off my boat
Some twenty years ago, the boat building
companies named the new models with a number
that was close to the real size of their
vessels. In later years, when they are designing
a new yacht they tend to name it after the LOA,
in order to make us believe that their vessels
are larger than their actual size. As an
example, the Jeanneau model of 1983 "Trinidad
47" had an L.W.L of 41,34 ft, when the 2002
model of the same company, Sun Odyssey 52,2 has
a L.W.L 41,8 feet. Obviously, both yachts are of
the same size. But my dear Jeanneau marketeers,
the beautiful 53 footer you recently sold me is
only 47 feet, according YOUR estimations of just
a few years ago. What happened and who took off
2 whole meters from my boat?

No, you are not hallucinating - this IS the
Almiyachts latest Newsletter. We must apologise

personal mishaps. However, we are back in
business and hope you enjoy this latest
rendering. We hope you took advantage of the
various Boat Shows which have taken place during
our "absence" and that you have seen things that

have had time to consider and discuss your 2007
sailing holidays and hope that the various yacht
charter companies have given you adequate food
for thought.

Beneteau Cyclades 43 is one -out of the
three- in the new range of budget-priced yachts
presented at the Paris Boat Show in early
December 2005. Beneteau is obviously targeting
the charter market and the less expensive
European yachts (read Bavaria) with the new
range... |

Special offer of the month
|
| |
For this month I have chosen an one-way trip
from Athens to Kos island on a beautiful
Bavaria 46 cruiser built in 2006.
You may choose an 1 week or 2 weeks trip. The
yacht must be at Kos on the 26.05.07 so, you can
start from Athens one, two or even three weeks
before that date. The offer price is euros 1.900
for one week or 3.800 for a two weeks trip..

Tip of the month
|
| |
For a quick evaluation of a nighttime
crossing situation - with possible collision
implications - note the position of the observed
vessel in relation to a star. If the star and
the vessel remain in the same relative position
for several minutes, that signals that a
constant bearing exists and you should start to
make avoiding plans accordingly.
