Juan Carlos Cilveti, veterano y sagaz periodista del periódico Málaga Hoy, ha destapado “una historia que podría haberse convertido en una verdadera catástrofe” en el puerto malacitano y que ha tenido como protagonista el bulkcarrier “GNG Concord 3” (IMO 9715323), abanderado en China, que arribó en la madrugada del pasado 7 de enero “de una forma nada habitual” procedente de Lisboa con un cargamento de trigo.
“Desoyendo las órdenes del control de puerto que le había reiterado que redujera la marcha para, en la bahía, esperar a los remolcadores e...
Two young women from Antigua, Alesea Charles, and Junella King, will be crew members aboard the 58-foot ocean racing yacht, Maiden, when it departs in January 2022 from Dubai, UAE, on a continuation of its world tour as a global ambassador to raise funds and awareness for the empowerment of girls through education. Dubbed The Maiden Factor, the project is the brainchild of the UK’s Tracy Edwards. Edwards and her team aboard Maiden were the first all-female crew to successfully complete the 1990 Whitbread Round the...

The sheer number of British Virgin Islands (BVI) enticed Italian explorer Christopher Columbus to name the area after Saint Ursula and her 1100 Virgin handmaidens. This British Overseas Territory, located 1 mile east of the US Virgin Islands at its closest point and 90 nautical miles northwest of Anguilla, actually has 60-some islands, rocks, and cays. This geography is only one reason the BVI’s are called the ‘Sailing Capital of the Caribbean’.
“The BVIs are the perfect destination for all sailors, with constant, cooling trade winds and the most spectacular scenery, a myriad of...

So many challenges in yacht modification are solved by using plywood. It is reasonably cheap and when installed in a manner that wood rot is not going to have an impact, it performs well.
The majority of plywood coming to the Caribbean from the US is Douglas Fir. This wood type has some very positive characteristics being long grain and a high resistance to tearing. It does, however, dry out and become vulnerable to rot.

Since we’ve been on a streak of sipping rums lately we thought it was time to let loose and have fun. We opened up our rum cabinet and played around with the Classic Rum Runner Cocktail Recipe.
It’s pretty obvious that the name Rum Runner pays homage to the Captains who ran rum along the eastern seaboard during prohibition (1920 – 1933.) One of our favorite rums, Kirk and Sweeney, is named after a rum-running vessel captured by the U.S. Coast Guard...
