What happens to our boats during low season? 🔧

In Tenerife, it’s maintenance time. Our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey is out of the water for its scheduled checks, maintenance and a fresh coat of paint — all part of keeping the boat in top condition and ready for the next sailing season.

Because great days at sea start with proper care on land. 🌊

Electric winches make sail handling easier—but they don’t replace good technique.

Today, Five Seasons Yachting’s Head of Sales and professional skipper will teach us a trick or two to keep in mind for our next sailing adventure!

An electric winch is designed to reduce physical effort, not to do the job without your attention.

Always keep the line under control, maintain the correct number of wraps around the drum, and avoid letting the winch overload under excessive tension.
If something doesn’t feel right, stop and check before applying more power.

Used correctly, electric winches make sailing safer, smoother and far more efficient.

⚓ Work smarter, not harder.

💬 Have you ever used an electric winch? What’s the biggest mistake you’ve seen on board?

Docking in reverse isn’t just about steering—it’s also about positioning yourself correctly.

Let’s put this theory into practice with with Five Seasons Yachting’s Head of Sales and expert skipper 🫡

On many modern yachts equipped with a side-mounted engine control, sitting sideways at the helm gives you a much better view of both the stern and the quay.
You’ll feel more comfortable on the throttle, have better visibility, and make smoother, more precise manoeuvres.

One more thing: remember that your boat won’t react instantly when you turn the wheel in reverse.
There’s always a slight delay, so anticipate the movement instead of correcting it too late.

Small adjustments. Better control. Stress-free docking.

Monoscafo o catamarano?
Non è solo una questione di prezzo — cambia completamente il tipo di vacanza che vivrai.

A parità di gruppo e settimana, un catamarano può costare quasi il doppio a persona. Ma il motivo è semplice: offre molto più spazio nelle aree comuni, perfetto per vivere la barca in modo più rilassato e conviviale.

C’è poi la vita in porto: il catamarano è più largo, quindi spesso costa di più ormeggiare ed è meno facile trovare posto. Il monoscafo invece è più gestibile e flessibile.

Anche l’esperienza in navigazione è diversa: il catamarano è stabile, spazioso, ideale per chi vuole comfort e giornate lunghe in rada, magari sotto le stelle.

Il monoscafo è più agile, più reattivo al vento, perfetto se vuoi davvero “sentire” la vela e vivere un’esperienza più dinamica.

E attenzione alla velocità: il catamarano non è sempre più veloce, con poco vento spesso è il monoscafo a performare meglio.
