Quando le condizioni del mare sono estreme, come nell’immagine di copertina, i surfisti rischiano davvero la vita. I pericoli sono moltissimi: la massa delle onde che puรฒ frangere addosso a un rider, spesso la vicinanza con le rocce, sempre quella con il fondo marino, senza contare correntiย  e risacca.

Il paradiso in terra puรฒ trasformarsi in un inferno liquido quando le cose si mettono male per il pro surfer. Per fortuna hanno i loro angeli custodi che cavalcano su potenti moto d’acqua pronti a galoppare in soccorso. Ecco quelli che hanno lavorato all’ultimo Red Bull Cape Fear, l’appuntamento da paura che ogni inverno australe รจ organizzato a Sydney, in Australia.

In altre parole, qual รจ la massa d’acqua che puรฒ ribaltarsi addosso a un surfista in caso di wipe-out, cosรฌ viene chiamato nel linguagio di chi pratica questo sport la circostanza in cui il rider viene catturato dall fronte dell’onda che si richiude su se stesso? Terribilmente tanta, basta ricordarsi che un metro cubo d’acqua, pesa una tonnellata. Ma non basta. Secondo la fisica, un’onda frangente genera una pressione che varia dai 1220 ai 29.294 chili per metro quadrato. La variabilitร  รจ data dalla salinitร  dell’acqua, dalla sua altezza, dallo spessore e dalla profonditร  del labbro in caduta, poi intervengono il vento e la velocitร  dell’onda, che per i mostri da 20 e passa metri puรฒ raggiungere anche i 40 nodi (per questo i big wave surfer, si fanno trainare dalle moto d’acqua per cominciare a surfare le onde piรน grandi, pagaiando a mano non riuscirebbero a partire).

 

Insomma per fare un esempio abbastanza concreto, un’onda di 10 metri d’altezza con un fronte frangente di 20 metri scarica sul corpo di chi ci rimane dentro 410 tonnellate di peso, equivalente a un megayacht da 45 metri a motore. Ma anche per rimanere su dimensioni piรน abituali ricordatevi che un’onda alta 50 centimetri con un fronte lungo un metro pesa i suoi bei 500 chili.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
