POOLZEE

2010-11-27T00:02:00.000-01:00

Recorrendo à nossa fonte habitual, encontramos no jornal: "O Telégrafo" - 03 de Novembro de 1971

"Poolzee - rebocador Holandês de L.Smit e Co's, desloca 1326 toneladas e tem 17 tripulantes. Vem estacionar e consignou-se à Bensaúde."

Fazendo uma pesquisa na net, encontramos no livro de visitas do Peter Café Sport, a seguinte mensagem:

"I,have visit several times at august 1977 as crew member from the dutch tug poolzee from the smit-international company and I,give my greetings to peter azvedo owner from cafe sport - Henk Triel - 01/11/2006"

Assim podemos concluir que o Poolzee, também esteve ao serviço da "Station Azoren"

GIRÃO

2010-11-26T22:06:00.002-01:00

Voltando ao post "Armada Francesa e não só..." e pegando na deixa do nosso colaborador João Carlos Fraga, realmente confirma-se que o outro navio na foto é o Girão, bastou voltar aos jornais dos dias 6 e 7 de Maio de 1973, e lá está: "Girão - no porto da Horta."

Deslocamento -» 427.6 TAB 600 TDW

UMA FOTO DE SONHO PARA QUALQUER SPOTTER

2010-11-22T00:03:00.002-01:00

ARMADA FRANCESA E NÃO SÓ...

No dia 28 de Abril de 1973, noticiava o jornal "O Telégrafo" o seguinte:

" A visita do porta-aviões "Foch" e do escoltador "Bouvet" trará ao porto da Horta 2,794 marinheiros da Armada Francesa." (previsto para o dia 7 de Maio)

foto - Francisco Gonçalves 07/05/1973

De facto, confirmou-se estas duas visitas, e pelos vistos mais algumas que não estavam nos planos:

Jornal "Correio da Horta" - 7 de Maio de 1973

"3500 Estrangeiros na Horta, Porta-aviões "Foch", Escoltador "Bouvet", Transatlântico "Statendam"

Se o tempo fosse o que é habitual neste mês de Maio, a Horta teria tido um dos seus grandes dias de turismo. E a baía, com a presença dos dois barcos da marinha de guerra francesa, o porta-aviões Foch, o escoltador "Bouvet, e o luxuoso transatlântico holandês, além de três navios de nacionalidade Portuguesa surtos no porto, engalanou-se de maneira a recordar os seus velhos tempos."

Statendam (1958) photo - Cruise Critic

"Launched at Schiedam on 12 June, 1956, the Statendam was from the outset primarily a tourist-class vessel, with just 84 First Class passengers accommodated on the top of the vessel, the rest being for nearly 900 in tourist class. She operated in tandem with the 1938 Nieuw Amsterdam and 1959 Rotterdam on the transatlantic run in the summer and made cruises, including 'round-the-world, in winter, until 1966 when she began cruising full time, first in the Pacific, then the Caribbean, and finally Alaska in 1981.In 1982, the Statendam was sold to the French Paquet Cruises and renamed Rhapsody. She continued to sail Alaska in the summer and the Caribbean in the winter, and during this period collided with a coral reef.In 1986, the ship was sold again, this time to Greek-owned Regency Cruises. Renamed the Regent Star, she was converted to diesel power at Piraeus and began cruising again.When Regency Cruises folded, she was laid up in Greece. She was scrapped in India in 2004." in - The Late Great Ocean Liners

Para finalizar, acho que vale a pena mencionar também dois atuneiros visiveis na foto, são eles:

Pérola do Faial (verde) - propriedade do Sr.Olímpio da ourivesaria com o mesmo nome.

Dom João de Castro (vermelho) - propriedade da Cofaco, construído por mestre Júlio Nunes de Matos em Stº.Amaro do Pico e lançado ao mar no dia 10 de Agosto de 1961. Tinha de comprimento 18.83m , 5.25 m de Boca e 2.03 de Pontal, ostentou a matrícula H-85-C e foi abatido no dia 31-12-1992. (Maresias)

WHITE SWALLOW

CLASS 40

"Dimitar Topalov (White Swallow) - Damaged his spinnaker on the first night, not clear if it is usable. Lost his Code 0 furler and presumably can't use his Code sail. Experienced a pilot failure in the first day or two. Has now lost his anenometer and has no wind data which limits his pilot from steering to true or apparent wind modes. Broken all his batten pockets from the 3rd reef to the top of the main. Made a stop for essential repairs and continues to race." in - Sailing Anarchy

OMAN AIR MAJAN

2010-11-20T00:03:00.000-01:00

"Oman Air Majan is the first ever ocean racing boat assembled in the Middle East in Oman's southern city of Salalah." - in Oman Sail

Length: 105 ft - 32 metres

Width: 54 ft - 16.50 metres across its 3 hulls

Mast height: 115 ft - 35 metres

Maximum sail area (approx): 5,920 square feet - 550 square metres

Skipper - Sidney Gavignet

"Based on the proven design of another trimaran, Sodebo, which is the holder of the solo North Atlantic record, the design has been tailored by multihull experts Nigel Irens and Benoit Cabaret for the needs of Oman Sail and their objective of training and developing Omani sailors to compete on the international stage." - in Oman Sail

"After a jump over a wave, a little harder than others, I heard a crack and thought it was the daggerboard, even if the board was higher than deck level which is quite high up. I jumped up and saw that the front leeward cross-beam was broken probably one metre away from the float. It was very, very quick, in probably 2-3 seconds. I eased the traveller. The float came out of the cross beam. I think it was still linked at that time with the aft cross beam, the float and the aft cross beam, but because the front was not linked to the boat, the boat just capsized almost and the mast at the horizontal and the platform was at the vertical. So I was pretty disorientated, but the damage was done.

"My first concern was to find my survival suit, life raft and grab bag. And I found that very quickly. I realised there was no massive panic because I realised very quickly that the boat would stay afloat and no water would come into the boat, because that was my first concern. So I put the survival suit on and called the race director."

Sidney Gavignet in The Daily Sail

"Capable of speeds in excess of 35 knots (65 kph), this giant trimaran is clearly among the fastest ocean racers ever conceived." - in Oman Sail

GROUPE BEL

2010-11-19T00:01:00.000-01:00

"Kito de Pavant (Groupe Bel) who was lying fifth in the IMOCA Open 60 class officially abandoned the Route du Rhum-La Banque Postale very early this Saturday morning after suffering a failure to a steel keel ram.

De Pavant has employed the back-up system which fixes the keel to a central position and was reported to be heading immediately to the Azores and then onwards to his home base of Port Camargue where his technical team will be waiting to start a race to repair the boat on time for the 31st December start of the Barcelona World Race."

"Said Kito de Pavant: “I heard a sound like an explosion, looked round the deck and could see nothing but immediately the boat feel over. I could see that the head of the keel was no longer held. On our boats with the canting keel system, we have a hinge axis at the bottom of the boat, and one above which is pushed by a steel lever arm. It is the rod which has broken.So like this we cannot race." in - BYM Sailing & Sports News
