La stagione delle regate

La regata d’altura e’ il mezzo piu’ caro, piu’ umido e piu’ scomodo per andare da un porto dove si sta bene ad un altro dove non si ha assolutamente nulla da fare

A dirlo e’ stato John Illingworth, un personaggio che riassume in se’ l’essenza stessa della regata. Il primo gennaio 1946 taglio’ il traguardo della prima edizione della Sydney-Hobart a bordo della sua piccola Rani. La Sydney-Hobart non doveva neppure essere una regata, ma una veleggiata tra amici. Fu Illingworth a dire “perche’ non ne facciamo una gara?”, portando in Pacifico la sua esperienza atlantica maturata durante l’edizione del 1937 della Fastnet Race.

Stiamo parlando di due tra le regate d’altura piu’ dure al mondo a causa delle severe condizioni di mare e di vento dei percorsi, e stiamo parlando di oltre 70 anni fa, ma anche le regate d’altura mediterranee dei nostri giorni hanno il loro indiscutibile fascino. E la stagione sta entrando nel vivo con un calendario fittissimo di partenze da alcuni dei porti e attraverso i percorsi piu’ spettacolari del Mediterraneo. Seguiremo per voi le regate, aggiornandovi sulle competizioni, sui risultati e sulle storie.

Solo alcune delle regate d’altura in Mediterraneo che non si possono assolutamente perdere:

  • La Brindisi-Corfù, che dal 10 giungo vedra’ oltre 100 imbarcazioni attraversare il Canale d’Otranto
  • La Giraglia Rolex Cup in partenza il 12 giugno, con la novita’ della categoria solitaria
  • La Roma – Giraglia in partenza il 25 giugno per un favoloso percorso tirrenico attraverso l’Arcipelago Toscano e fino a Capo Corso
  • La Rimini – Corfu’- Rimini, la mitica mille miglia adriatica, che torna il 4 luglio dopo 14 anni
  • La Palermo – Montecarlo il 21 agosto
  • E spingendoci un po’ piu’ in la’, ad ottobre, sono due gli appuntamenti imperdibili: lo spettacolare raduno della Barcolana a Trieste, con le sue migliaia di vele schierate sotto il castello di Miramare, e la blasonata Middle Sea Race, che da Malta circumnaviga la Sicilia in un percorso spettacolare

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.
