Vela Code - a new code for every yachtsman
Dan Lenard of the renowned yacht design firm Nuvolari - Lenard embarked on a daring adventure: a transatlantic solo crossing in a 33 foot sailboat that he made from left over parts. He departed on the 20th January from Cadiz, Spain and arrived into Fort Lauderdale, Florida on March 3rd, some 14 days after his expected arrival due to low winds.
The challenge was not only that he was alone but he had no engine, no electronics, gps, log, compass or autopilot - his reason - to prove that it can still be done. That Pure Sailing is still attainable.
It was a voyage with a mission...
His intention is to use this act to highlight the plight of the seas. It is a rallying cry - an SOS to the entire yachting community to save our seas.
He wants to start a new trend, that you simply don't use single use plastics onboard a boat - with the intent that this becomes a fashion and people around the world will follow suit.
We met him as he made landfall in the United States.

A wise old man once told me, “Ask not what your industry can do for you, ask what you can do for your industry.”
I believe, by taking time sat between two Yetis, we can share stories and genuinely engage the people who serve in the marine industry.
By telling the stories of the deck hands, the entrepreneurs and the inventors, the engineers and the designers, the manufacturers and suppliers, the brokers and the owners, and everyone in between, we provoke a stronger sense of respect and responsibility for each other and our industry. Ultimately, we will better serve the owners- a limited, passionate client base from which the purchase of one dream has a ripple effect that puts food on the table for millions around the world.
We are looking to partner with the best in the business, to help us spread this message and make our industry stronger by exploring our humanity.
We have multiple ways of doing this, away from the normal clutter of marketing videos. From podcasts, to panel discussions to hitting each other with pugil sticks, there’s lots of ways to collaborate.
Discover the marine industry with me through the stories and passion of the owners, the people, the companies and the organizations that make it happen.
We’re here to help everyone aim higher.
Let’s do this.
You can find everything and everyone we meet by subscribing to our website and podcasts. Every week we host a LIVE show.
