Sanje o svobodi na valovih pod jadri.
Spomini na deset let potepanj z jadrnico Daddy’s Dream. Bila je želja, ki so je hranile sanje. In sanje so dobile ime Daddy’s Dream. Po vseh mogočih lukah Mediterana, kjer vsak kamen pove zgodbo o tisočletni zibelki zahodne civilizacije.
»Sanje moramo živeti, ne samo sanjati.«, Piera Fabbriciani
Bilo je šest morij in sedem držav. Na zahod nas je veter ponesel do ustja Rone, na jug do Malte in na vzhod do egejskih otokov. In mnogo vsega je bilo vmes. Bili so trenutki nervoze, sitnobe, osebnih stisk; bili so trenutki sreče, spokoja in tudi ponosa. In bile so sanje morjeplovca. Sanje, ki so se uresničile in se naposled ubesedile v čudovitem potopisu večletnega jadranja po prekrasnem Sredozemlju, ob katerem boste skupaj z Markom Vukom spoznavali lepote jadranja in odkrivali skrivnosti ter lokalne znamenitosti starodavnih sredozemskih pristanišč.
Iz uvoda:
“Vsi imamo sanje, hrepenenje, ki ga živimo v svojem fantazijskem svetu. Če imamo srečo, da jih lahko uresničimo, se zdi, kot da smo s tem uresničili tudi svoj življenjski cilj – tisto, kar v duši, ko se zazremo vase, resnično šteje. Moje sanje so bile, da bi imel jadrnico, s katero bi se, prost pritiska časa, potepal po Sredozemlju. Dobro se spomnim, kdaj so se moje sanje rodile v tako jasni obliki. Dvajset let bo tega. Bili so prvomajski prazniki leta 2002. S prijatelji smo v Franciji najeli motorno barko, s katero smo en teden potovali po Canal du Midi.
Francija je obljubljena dežela za tiste, ki kot turisti radi potujejo po notranjih vodah, saj je na široko prepletena s kanali. Te so za transport blaga zgradili predvsem v 17. in 18. stoletju. Ker so z razvojem železnice kanali postopno izgubili svoj gospodarski namen, se danes po njih veliko bolj kot barže prevažajo barke s turisti. Med množico kanalov ima Canal du Midi tudi za navtike poseben pomen. Preko njega že iz časov Ludvika XIV. vodi direktna vodna pot iz Sredozemskega morja v Biskajski zaliv, se pravi, v Atlantski ocean. Tako smo med tistim dopustom ob okornih »hausbootih1« in ladjah s kabinami za turiste občasno srečevali tudi jadrnice, ki so s podrtimi jambori, nameščenimi na provizorične lesene »koze«, potovale z ene strani evropske celine na drugo. Tak način nomadskega življenja se mi je zdel nadvse privlačen. Omogočal bi mi, da bi se lahko kot kakšen polžek s svojo vodno hišico potepal tako po morjih kot po notranjosti evropske celine.
Poletja bi preživljal na morju, v zimskih mesecih pa bi se umaknil v zavetje kopenskih kanalov, kjer si varno skrit tako pred morskimi neurji kot tudi pred mogočnimi tokovi naraslih rek. Lepe sanje, a ne? Marsikdo bi jih imel. A da bi te sanje dobile tudi možnost uresničitve, je treba imeti:
– ustrezno znanje in izkušnje,
– podporo žene,
– čas
– in (seveda) barko …

We’re proud to announce that Elan Yachts had just won a “Red Dot: Product Design” award for our new flagship, the Elan GT6. The “Red Dot” is the most sought-after industrial design award in the world, and the 2021 winners were chosen out of a pool of 7800 applicants from 60 countries. The GT6 previously won the Oceanway award for Best Interior Design and won the nominations for European Yacht of the Year award, the British Yachting Award and is currently also short-listed for the International Yacht and Aviation award.
The Elan GT6 is an ambitious collaborative project between Elan Yachts, Studio F. A. Porsche and Humphreys Yacht Design. It successfully delivered a segment defining yacht and is a worthy flagship to Elan's existing range. It is designed to be easily handled by a couple, yet capable of exhilarating performance across a wide range of wind and sea conditions. Its hull, drawn by Humphreys Yacht Design, combines race-derived features with the ability to carry a full cruising payload, perfectly optimised for short-handed, medium-range cruising. Combined with extensive CFD modelling, the yacht design produced a thoroughbred sailboat which delivers exhilarating performance on all points of sail.
Above the waterline, the GT6 is the first ever sailing yacht designed and styled by Studio F. A. Porsche, with an elegant silhouette and iconic good looks that will turn heads in any marina. Key features that convinced the Red Dot judges include a next-generation ergonomic cockpit with gull-wing helm pedestals and a segment-defining fully flush foredeck.
Unique styling by Studio F. A. Porsche, focused on elegance and usability; creating a distinct product silhouette with sharp lines and elaborately curved surfaces. As a unique feature, the design creates flares of light as the yacht moves through the water.
Below decks, Studio F. A. Porsche’s interior design flair brings game-changing levels of comfort and luxury to Elan’s new flagship model, while preserving the practicality of the boat as a family cruiser. Premium materials are used throughout, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of Elan’s artisan shipwrights. Focus on ergonomics and embedding a host of innovative design features bring a new level of luxury to life on board, unparalleled in a sailing yacht of its size.
‘We’re honoured that our innovative flagship won the Red Dot award,’ says Marko Škrbin, head of the Elan Yachts shipyard. ‘The GT6 truly is a small superyacht: high-level woodwork, best in GRP technology and unique design inspire true "grand turismo” spirit”.
The “Red Dot” is the award for high design quality. The international jury only awards this sought-after seal of quality to products that feature an outstanding design.
Elan’s dedication to innovative design is also evident from the fact that the Elan ski division was awarded a “Red Dot: Best of the Best 2021” award for their revolutionary Voyager foldable all-mountain ski series.
