Some places have a way of slowing life down – and Piran is definitely one of them. With its narrow Venetian streets, the beautiful Tartini Square and its charming little harbour, this coastal town is one of the true gems of the Northern Adriatic. After a wonderful day under sail, starting with shifting winds and finishing with a relaxed 9-knot ride under Code Zero, we arrived in Piran in the late afternoon. Days like these remind us why we love sailing. To top it all off, we

Light wind days on a trimaran have a magic all of their own. With the Code Zero flying, we gently glide along on a 120° downwind course. Everything feels effortless, while a refreshing breeze still cools your skin. Relaxing in the shade on the trampoline, looking up at the sails and the deep blue sky, listening to the rhythm of the waves and feeling their gentle music – this is what true relaxation feels like. Everything is so light and graceful, like a ballerina dancing to t

Don’t worry – my Dragonfly 28 Sport is doing just fine. In fact, she’s currently sailing the Adriatic with wonderful guests from Switzerland. After completing an intensive trimaran training, they are now enjoying almost two weeks of bareboat charter, exploring the coastline on their own. Meanwhile, I’ve taken the opportunity to switch perspectives for a few days. Instead of sailing my sporty trimaran, I’m currently on board the DCS Amethyst 1, enjoying a beautiful river cruis

I’m out sailing solo today, enjoying a beautiful afternoon sea breeze of around 8–10 knots. The Dragonfly is happily cruising along at about 8 knots – the perfect conditions for relaxed summer sailing. On the horizon, hundreds of boats are anchored off the mouth of the Isonzo River. It’s easy to see why: sandy seabed, shallow crystal-clear water, a well-protected anchorage, and a refreshing cool breeze make this one of the locals’ favorite places to spend a sunny day. On a Su

With 0.0 knots of wind, even a Dragonfly Trimaran has to admit defeat. 😄 Sailing is only so much fun without any breeze, so I decided to use the opportunity to visit some of my berth neighbours and maintain a few local connections here in Portopiccolo. Since I have no guests on board today, I was invited aboard my neighbour’s impressive Dominator 65 – a classic Italian motor yacht with plenty of style and elegance. The shipyard was founded by former Formula One drivers, so s

Yesterday we took advantage of a perfect weather window for a truly special experience: A film crew from Bavaria Entertainment joined us on board the Dragonfly 28 Sport together with the well-known and incredibly charming TV host Judith Rakers to film scenes for the ARD travel documentary series Wunderschön. The show highlights unique places, inspiring people, and extraordinary experiences from different regions – and this time, high-performance trimaran sailing in Friuli bec

After 3 days of trimaran training together, my guests are now sailing on their own along the coast of Istria. Light winds, crystal-clear water – and still relaxed but exciting sailing on the Dragonfly 28 Sport Trimaran “Don Cangrejo”. His conclusion today via video message:“Everything is fine, everything is great – only one problem: I want a boat like this too.” 😂 So be careful:⚠️ HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! ⚠️ A Dragonfly Trimaran is not just sailing.It’s speed without heeling. Freed

Perfect weather all weekend long and an amazing atmosphere in my home marina Portopiccolo. A beautiful event brought many historic sailing boats and classic yachts to the harbor. Lovingly restored, polished to perfection and decorated with authentic historic details, these boats were true eye-catchers — and visitors could even step aboard and explore them. ⛵✨ Naturally, this attracted many guests from the region and created a super cool mix of maritime history, Mediterranean

Sailing from Grado to Trieste – light winds, flat water, perfect conditions to fine-tune everything. Sails up, reefing lines dialed in…and now the highlight: Code Zero / Reacher flying. That moment when there’s barely any wind –but the boat still accelerates. That’s what this trimaran is built for. Light wind? No problem. Experience? Guaranteed. 👉 Ready to feel it yourself? #trimaran #dragonfly #sailing #adriaticsea #performance #multihull #codezero #reacher #sailinglife #ad
