There are countless superstitions on the sea. Some seem strange today, but some sailors still cling to them. It's no wonder— the sea is an adventurous place, and many things happen there that can't happen anywhere else. Let’s look at this old classical myth today. - Basco Boating News - Written by BASCO Team < Back Share What happens if you empty a teapot on a boat? BASCO Team Jul 20, 2023 There are countless superstitions on the sea. Some seem strange today, but some sailors still cling to them. It's no wonder— the sea is an adventurous place, and many things happen there that can't happen anywhere else. Let’s look at this old classical myth today. There are countless superstitions on the sea. Some seem strange today, but some sailors still cling to them. It's no wonder— the sea is an adventurous place, and many things happen there that can't happen anywhere else. Let’s look at this old classical myth today. This myth is about the drink. Over 2 billion cups of this drink are consumed every day worldwide… Can you guess what this drink is about? Here's another hint to help you out The first letter of this drink is “T”. . . . . . Tea? Well done! You got it - This superstition is all about the tea. So, let’s discover this old myth. "Never empty the teapot on a boat" In ancient times, when it came to emptying the pot, English fishermen had some very strange beliefs. They would never fully empty a pot of tea when they were out at sea because this represented them ‘pouring away’ all the fish they were hoping to catch. This meant that pouring away their tea would result in having to return home empty-handed. Also, their families back home wouldn’t empty their teapots on the day the fisherman set sail for fear of causing the boat to sink. P.S. If you don't know what's happening in the boating world, you'll be at the mercy of wheeler-dealers who want to take advantage of you. You need to understand the boat market and boat ownership like a boat boss. Understanding the boat market can help you avoid overpaying for a boat or making a purchase that doesn't meet your needs. It can also help you properly maintain and care for your boat, ensuring that it provides years of enjoyment on the water.

The brand’s first model, the Wayfinder 38, will be presented in two configurations; the Cabin and the Suntop. Both will be displayed on the water, giving visitors a chance to explore and compare their layouts and features. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share A New Name Turns Heads at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 Aziza | BASCO Team Aug 13, 2025 The brand’s first model, the Wayfinder 38, will be presented in two configurations; the Cabin and the Suntop. Both will be displayed on the water, giving visitors a chance to explore and compare their layouts and features. Turkish yacht brand AIATA will make its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025. The company operates under the Anadolu Group, a major Turkish conglomerate with a broad business portfolio. This background provides AIATA with a strong platform as it enters the global marine industry. The brand’s first model, the Wayfinder 38, will be presented in two configurations; the Cabin and the Suntop. Both will be displayed on the water, giving visitors a chance to explore and compare their layouts and features. The Wayfinder 38 has been designed by Finnish naval architect Jarkko Jämsén. It is a walkaround model featuring a beamy flared bow and twin-step hull, aimed at increasing deck space and improving performance. Twin outboard engine options will be available, with power configurations up to 850 horsepower and expected top speeds above 50 knots. The Cabin version will feature an enclosed pilothouse, L-shaped sofa, compact galley, and a private sleeping area with a queen-size bed. A separate head with a ceiling height of about two meters will support overnight stays. The Suntop version will offer an open layout with a fixed hardtop and an uninterrupted flow between interior and exterior spaces. One of the key aspects of the Wayfinder 38 is its modular design. Owners will be able to reconfigure seating, tables, and sunbeds, and even switch between open and enclosed deck structures. AIATA expects its modular concept to be a focal point of attention during the festival. The Cannes Yachting Festival 2025 will be the first opportunity for the public and industry professionals to experience the Wayfinder 38 in person, marking the start of AIATA’s presence in the European market.

The first batch of Lynxmar boats is expected to land in Finland during the summer of 2025. To support this launch, GN Boats is collaborating with Tampere-based KX-Center, where prospective buyers will be able to view and test demo boats starting in early July. With a reputation for quality and a deep understanding of Nordic boating needs, Lynxmar’s product line includes models such as the O22 (Open) and C26 (Cabin). These boats are built with fully welded aluminium hulls and outfitted with high-grade components sourced primarily from Scandinavian suppliers. Each Lynxmar model is carefully designed to be comfortable to use, easy to handle, and strong enough to face tough weather and water conditions. These features make the boats a great choice for experienced boaters who travel through the archipelago in every season, whether it's calm summer waters or colder, rougher days. For GN Boats, which already represents brands like Galeon and Virtue, the addition of Lynxmar enriches its portfolio and reinforces its commitment to providing versatile, high-performance options tailored to Nordic conditions. The move into Finland represents Lynxmar’s first step toward international expansion. The company sees the Finnish market as both robust and aligned with its core values, given the shared expectations around boat performance, reliability, and practical design. Additional international dealership announcements are expected in the near future. News Source: IBI News Media Gallery ← Previous Next →
