Sardinia's Northeast: Pure Caribbean Feeling
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.

Electronic Navigation
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…

Why Boat Insurance Matters: Understanding Your Cover
Owning a boat is about freedom, adventure and making the most of your time on the water. But even the best-planned day can take an unexpected turn.

Fire Aboard: Understanding the Risks and How to Protect Your Boat
There’s something uniquely terrifying about the thought of a fire aboard a boat. Whether you’re docked in a marina or anchored off a beach, boat fires spread fast and your options for containment are limited. For liveaboard cruisers especially, the risks are compounded.

While we all like to believe we’re cautious, the reality is that fires aboard happen more often than you might think, and often through no fault of your own.
