While I was delivering a Lagoon 400 to Lorient for the boatshow in 20-25 knots of wind, one of my crew fell in an uncomfortable state because of the wavy sea: seasickness had struck! The question that is often raised in the port at night after such a painful episode is: okay, who… Read more …

While preparing the delivery of a Lagoon 400 that some of you will be able to admire at the international multihull boat show in Lorient from April 18 to 22, 2012, I realized that some GPS abbreviations can be bewildering!
