Interesting video.

youtube

1. Check out the new look of the Spanish F-50! Spiffy.

2. I had no idea the F-50s were towed out backwards from each harbour by 2 support boats. How did I not know this??

3. It looks like each F-50 has a regular foil and a T-foil. I guess they couldn’t get enough titanium foils ready for the regatta? I stand corrected they are both T-foils, even though it doesn’t look like it.

Wonder how many other surprises there will be this weekend?

Apparently there really was a Sir Thomas Lipton who founded Lipton's Tea. Here he is with the crew of the Shamrock IV at Morse's Dry Dock, Brooklyn, in preparation for the 1920 America's Cup race. (He lost.)

which is the most underrated couple from Horizon and why is aloy x alva?

Look. LOOK. I love them okay. I know it's all been "Aloy sees an equal in Seyka" but she absolutely saw that in Alva first. Alva is really the first person Aloy has met who is on her level as a scientist: She not only wants to learn new things, she then updates beliefs to include what she learns (rather than cling to what traditions she has been brought up with like most people Aloy meets). She wants to keep learning even when it scares her.

She clearly adores Alva and their interaction in this scene in particular shows that. I also love that the interaction in this scene was used again with Seyka with the same intonation:

#i feel the need to add that this is not a ship I expect to sail or even hope will sail #i know a lot of people think that shipping is a competition and if you ship something you MUST want it to be canon #no no #i expect nothing here #the concept of them just brings me joy #also alva is just adorable #critter rambles #reply

Big thanks to whoever decided to do another poll about these two shows that absolutely left this site in shambles last time. I really needed this laugh first thing on a Monday.

#oh man this is gonna be good #I'll be shocked and horrified if Sarah Z does not make a video about this #fandom historian where are you when we need you?!#anyway vote Black Sails #there's no competition tbh

"WINS EXCITING VANCOUVER YACHT RACE," Vancouver Sun. May 25, 1934. Page 1. ---- THE VIREO AND A TENSE MOMENT ---- This was the type of boat which yesterday had the most fun in the opening regatta of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club in English Bay.

A heavy wind made the water of the Bay particularly rough and the going was exciting for these smaller members of the fleet,

The Vireo, owned by Douglas McLeod, won the X Class Race yesterday.

The Islander, owned by W. Randall, capsized during a squall, sending its crew into the choppy water.

Other boats racing in the vicinity rescued the crew who suffered little more than a soaking.

just read that Empire article with wesley and am both surprised and pleased he seems genuinely thoughtful and on-point with where TOS kirk would be on his character journey during the snw timeline

#paul wesley #genuinely surprised and pleased #good job stefan #strange new worlds #he's right on the money when he says 'stack of books on legs' kirk is the most important Moment rn #he doesnt know what kind of leader he wants to be yet or is capable of being #and he has extensive training and studying and a genocide survivor #but hes not there Yet #he's more pedantic and intellectual and hasnt yet reclaimed that joy and understanding that leading is good spirits is as important as #leading in safety security and poise #hes whip smart and so clever but kind #hes not TOS jim yet and still has to find it in himself to shake off the starfleet militarism whether by his other commissions or his past #or the expectations or competition with sam #or the worry over his personal life #in favor of the wonder he feels in the universe #which heals him from the wounds and need for control #among likeminded nerds #who just want to explore strange new worlds and have a ship and stars to sail her by

That foredeck life

#i reblog a certain amount of competitive sailing content #the ocean race #etc #and sailboat racing as spectator sport is fun and interesting #but it can feel kind of distant #and if you haven't actually done it #it can look #i dunno #kind of ...#intellectual?#theoretical?#i'm sure there's a word i'm not coming up with #anyway #i love this video #b/c this is exactly what it's like to actually do it #it's not intellectual #or theoretical #you're _in_ it #and it's very real

The Black Foils were out on the Waitemate Harbour on the weekend checking out the conditions.

And here’s the course for next weekend.

And today, they hit the highest speed on the water 92.2 km (52 knots) in practice!

Pint-sized skippers blow their sailboats along a 20-ft. course in the wading pool of a Children's Aid Society Center, July 30, 1952. Six-year-old James De Crescenze, second from right, won the annual "Bathtub Regatta" by a blow. He was named "Coxswain of the Year (Peanut Class)." Left to Right : John Giovanetti, aged nine; Carl Cunningham, six ; James De Crescenze, and Paul Rogina, six.

I literally cannot get the sims 4 to work offline again half the time. Also I was scrolling through EA support and apparently EA considers it to be "account sharing" if you have it on multiple computers in the same fucking home

#my posts #sims 4 #ea #their greed is insane #steam straight up has a family account management #so you don't have to buy multiple copies to share with your kids or siblings #so anyway how about them flag sails? I mean sales-#fuck I can't wait for parallives to come out #give them some actual competition
