Speciale METS: Taking Master, quando è ora di virare te lo dice l’orologio

Al Mets di Amsterdam non poteva mancare una delle novità che in questo 2015 ha fatto gola ai velisti di tutto il mondo. Si tratta di Taking Master, una sorta di orologio che funziona in modo analogico con due ghiere che in modo molto intuitivo vengono ruotate a seconda delle variazioni del vento. Il quadrante dell’orologio offre una visione d’insieme per valutare in tempo reale i cambiamenti di direzione necessari in funzione dei salti di vento.

Il funzionamento di questo prodotto ideato dalla società danese ID/FX, è molto semplice ed è esemplificato nell’immagine qui sotto in cinque step.

Il primo passo consiste nel far ruotare la corona  su cui la direzione del vento è raffigurata da una grande freccia nera. Le andature sono rappresentate dalle barche rosse per le mure a sinistra e verdi per quelle a dritta.

Il secondo passo consiste nel ruotare in senso anti orario la ghiera rossa. Così facendo si allenta la pressione sulla ghiera bianca in modo che possa essere regolata.

Terzo step: regolazione della ghiera bianca per impostare il valore della direzione del vento.

Il quarto passo consiste nel portare la freccia indicata sulla ghiera nera in direzione della boa o del punto che si vuole raggiungere.

Quinto e ultimo passo: si blocca l’impostazione ruotando in senso orario la ghiera rossa e si è pronti a partire.

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.
