Greetings yachties,

Just got back from a cruise to the islands and back, got toasted by a few good greenies and saw a mermaid sitting on Gannet Rock.

North Berwick, East Lothian, Scotland, 30 Mar 2010 – Spring tides coupled with unprecedented high winds and surging waves breach the outer harbour wall to tear dinghies, motor boats and their trailers from secure points in the tarmac dinghy park – piling many against the inner harbour wall (formerly the wall of the lido – open air swimming pool). Others are washed in 1.5metre swells from the park into the harbour or smashed against harbour railings.

Jessica Watson talks about heading south, mending her sail, and nearing home with the hosts of One HD’s Thursday Night Live. Tune in again on 22 April to see another update with Thursday Night Live.

Peter Janicki Soars as World Enters the Age of Composites

Imagine the USA, resounding winner of the 33rd America’s Cup sailboat race, sitting in the middle of Safeco Field. This trimaran would cover the infield. Its 223-foot wing sail would rise eight feet above Safeco’s roof, making it impossible to close. The sail has aerodynamic properties similar to an aircraft wing, but is more than twice as long as a Boeing 747 wing, and its composite carbon fiber–Kevlar frame is covered with a shrinkable aeronautical film. Lightweight but stiff, it enables the boat to sail up to three times faster than wind speed.

BMW Oracle Racing’s boat was built in Anacortes in collaboration with Janicki Industries, which provided the high-tech tooling, or molds, used to create the wing sail. Construction took five weeks and 20,000 person-hours.

It is just one example of the high-profile innovation that marks Janicki Industries as a global leader in design and manufacture of composite tooling.
