Is "slow is pro" actually pro? 🤔

The famous saying comes from a good place taking things slow during docking, man overboard situations, or tight maneuvers prevents major damage. But many sailors confuse slow speed with low RPM.

Oran explains a crucial distinction every skipper needs to master: when you drop your RPM too low, you lose steering and let the wind or current take control of your boat.

What you actually want is controlled speed using bursts of power to keep the rudder effective while keeping the boat's momentum under control. 🧭

In this video, you'll learn:
✅ Why low RPM can be dangerous in tight spaces.
✅ The difference between boat speed and engine power.
✅ How to use controlled speed for flawless maneuvering.

Check out the video and stop drifting out of control! 👇

⚓️ MATEJ BENCUR REGATTA 2026 – MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ⛵️

A big thank you to all the crews and support teams for making this year's regatta a success! We enjoyed a perfect balance of competitive racing and a great friendly atmosphere on the water.

A key highlight was the first deployment of our new gennakers on the First 45 fleet. Seeing experienced crews put them to the test provided us with invaluable feedback on their performance and tactical potential.

Thanks for being part of it. See you next year! 🏆

On Saturday, our boats and their crews set sail for another edition of our traditional regatta. Conditions on the water have been engaging from the start, and the teams are already working hard to secure the best possible results.

🔥 PREMIERE OF THE NEW GENNAKERS
This year features a significant technical update. For the first time, all First 45 yachts are equipped with brand-new gennakers. The current crews are the very first to test their impact on speed and tactics in a competitive racing environment.

"🔧 Coming soon: The new bowsprits have just arrived, and we’re already fitting them on our F45 fleet!
👉 Why we’ve chosen this setup:
✔ correct gennaker geometry and cleaner furling
✔ better balance forward, especially in stronger wind
✔ more controlled and predictable handling on downwind and reaching courses
It’s not just about speed, - it’s about control, safety, and overall better sailing feel.
We’ll share how it performs on the water very soon 🌊"
