Wow, what a wonderful view …! In this very short 11 second video, you can see the view enjoyed from the middle of the structure of the Lanterna in Genoa. The video unfortunately does not take the eastern part of the city because due to the strong wind it was practically impossible to hold the iPhone with which I made […]
What is that? Simple … it’s a textile ladder, with aluminum pegs, which is used to be hoisted, with the mainsail halyard to go up into the masthead. Very interesting the system that as shown in the video is sold by Osculati. Presented in Paris and Berlin successfully. How does it work? Simple, connect the shackle on top of this […]
It’s been about 3 years since my Hackintosh, when it went on standby and exhumed, no longer produced any sound … conclusion? I spent about 3 years with a dumb Mac … let’s just say that he spoke very little … Every now and then I restarted it, but those who use Mac or Linux in general Unix know that […]

“Giornale Luce” of January 1935 From Stockholm … For the lovers of life on the sea: here is a model of yacht built with a new system that aims to reduce the veiling to eliminate the risk and the difficulty of managing numerous sails, when the wind is raging.

Wow … how strange …! But who invented it …? Well let’s start with those who invented it … a start-up in Riccione, where I was born, invented it, a town south of Rimini, on the Adriatic coast of Italy, south of Venice and Ravenna. Daniele Mingucci made the 47-foot aluminum sailing prototype named “Futura” with this strange U-shaped tree, […]
It looks like a nice system for faster, safer and more stable surfing. The only flaw is having these two wings, which look a bit like hanging wings, but in reality when they are closed on the bridge they don’t seem to be so hostile to the use of the deckhouse. They seem to increase sailing performance and above all, […]
Can you recognize it …? – How the hell can I figure that Stephen out? Come on, you can’t see anything … – you’ll tell me … Yeah … you can’t know … you’re right … So I say I … this is a Vaquita, the image I created using 12 pixels, because starting from the original image I used […]

Arriving to the island of Ustica from Terrasini in Sicily, where we left in the morning with a beautiful sailboat, around eleven o’clock morning, we came across a beautiful pack of dolphins . It was a decidedly large pack. These dolphins behaved differently from those I normally saw, perhaps more accustomed to passing ships. In particular, this herd was immediately […]
We came from Ustica, the Ustica auctioneer. We left the Ustica marina early in the morning and set the sails in such a way that we could make a nice, light and fluid navigation. There was a beautiful sea breeze that allowed us to sail with a Yankee, sling and mainsail. During our navigation we also freed a turtle from […]

Well, to do that there is an instrument called a StringMeter for shrouds. It is used to measure the tension of the shrouds correctly, for navigation or before […]
I remember years ago, the quay tale of a Miami motor yacht commander, who asked what that new lighthouse was down there. The sailors of Milan replied to him that he was the Lantern and this said that knowing the port of Genoa had never seen it … they replied that it was there, at least since 1300. In short, […]
