Arriving: the location - Sardinia is big: the island is 140 nautical miles long and 75 nautical miles wide. After a circumnavigation of the island, there would be 450 nautical miles in the logbook. So it's better to choose one side of the island and focus your cruising there. And for the majority of people, it's quickly decided: they head for the north-east of the island. The wildly rugged coast, frequented by the rich and famous with their superyachts, together with the offshore islands offer postcard-perfect close-up destinations by the dozen.

Although sailing uses the energy of the wind, every trip leaves an ecological footprint. Every sailor, be it on his own boat or on a chartered boat, can reduce this footprint with just a few small changes.

Navigation systems are a great invention. In road traffic, they have contributed significantly to road safety by allowing the driver to concentrate on the traffic, rather than turning the pages of an unwieldy road map while at the same time trying to steer the car, keep an eye on the traffic, interpret the road layout and read the signs…

In order to prevent major damage, proper engine care also plays a role in addition to the major engine inspection. Even a small action here and there can make all the difference. We have compiled a list of the checks you can easily carry out during the season for outboard and inboard motors.

With the right planning, a few safety precautions and a few rules of conduct, a great holiday is almost guaranteed.
