His boat is being put on a ship and transported to Majorca. The photos below give some idea of what\u2019s involved&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a niche industry &#8211; there are several cargo ships supplying this trade. Not cheap: one-way cost for a 46-foot catamaran is over US$30 thousand. An 80-foot catamaran was being loaded: we reckoned this must easily be $80-100 thousand. I guess a 40-foot monohull like Manuka would be&nbsp; around $15,000.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The business of loading is complicated. The 80-footer delayed things horribly yesterday, and then today strong winds led to further delay in loading. A loading master is flown in specially from Europe simply to supervise loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was interesting sailing on a catamaran &#8211; my first time. Very well-equipped: electric winches, everything operated from within the cockpit, with mirror controls and wheel on each side of the boat. Strange steering something so wide: it felt like driving a truck compared to sailing a monohull! Plus it has 2 engines, which can be played against one another to enhance manoeuvrability.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"688\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1ADA0FD4-C0B7-463C-A959-D294C4B0C19B.jpeg?resize=688%2C515&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1ADA0FD4-C0B7-463C-A959-D294C4B0C19B.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1ADA0FD4-C0B7-463C-A959-D294C4B0C19B.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1ADA0FD4-C0B7-463C-A959-D294C4B0C19B.jpeg?resize=768%2C575&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/1ADA0FD4-C0B7-463C-A959-D294C4B0C19B.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"688\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/80808577-B8A4-4FE4-A52B-6D53E1E59B33.jpeg?resize=688%2C515&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/80808577-B8A4-4FE4-A52B-6D53E1E59B33.jpeg?resize=1024%2C766&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/80808577-B8A4-4FE4-A52B-6D53E1E59B33.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/80808577-B8A4-4FE4-A52B-6D53E1E59B33.jpeg?resize=768%2C575&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sailingmanuka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/80808577-B8A4-4FE4-A52B-6D53E1E59B33.jpeg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shipping yachts across the Atlantic 17\/06\/21 Yesterday I sailed with a friend on his 46-foot catamaran around to the capital&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=382"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":385,"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382\/revisions\/385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailingmanuka.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
