The New Catamaran - Bluewater 50 Transatlantic
October 29, 2017 by Distant Shores TV | Language: EN Play Time: 00:11:40 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We’re sailing the new Bluewater 50 catamaran across the Atlantic! Tour this luxurious cruising cat with us at its debut at the Southampton Boat Show. We’ll be moving aboard S/Y Zão in less than 2 weeks in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, in the Canary Islands and will be sailing it transatlantic with a crew of fellow sailing writers and videographers. In this episode, we tell you about the upcoming 3,000 nm voyage from the Canary Islands to St. Lucia. We also demonstrate how we’ll do route planning and weather forecasting using the PredictWind® app which has been updated since our last Atlantic crossing. The November voyage aboard S/Y Zão will be our 8th transatlantic passage.
