Sailing a Jeanneau 45DS, Alameda, 24.Aug.2008 This is one impressive yacht, this 45DS (Deck Salon.) For the first time I saw side thrusters on a yacht of this size. Makes turning easier, instead of doing it the conventional way, just stop off and "thrust away" to change the heading to point into the slip. Weather was perfect for a good sail and a speedy crossing from Tiburon to San Francisco. The Bay itself provided us with the usual set of visuals, which for me never get boring. There is magic in the air... We returned relatively early, before the sunset, my only regret. |
