The Art of Boat Building: Jaruco

Boat building is an art. Jaruco, formerly known as Project Ireland from Jarrett Bay, proves it.

Built using advanced techniques, the 90-foot custom sportfish sports a carbon fiber bridge, cabin, decks, and stringer system. Jaruco is the world’s first sportfish to use carbon fiber. Technical aspects aside, watching the build process in this video from Jarrett Bay really highlights the art of boat building.

Jaruco was built to ABS class standards and pushes the envelope for efficiency and safety. The flagship project was led by an owner with long-distance fishing dreams.

Carrying 4,400 gallons of fuel, she’ll be able to go far and fast. 2,600-hp 16-cylinder MTUs that propel her into the mid-40s.

Lightweight construction helps in this endeavor: carbon fiber stringers and bulkheads, titanium shafts and ultra-thin marble veneer flooring. There are six staterooms, including a full-beam master and two separate crew quarters, and the finish throughout is impeccable.

Jarrett Bay builds lightweight, rigorously-engineered boats that deliver cruise speeds in the high 30-knot range and easily attain a top-end of over 40-knots.

Fear Knot! The Knots You Need to Know

To get the most from your knot tying, you’ll also want to work with clean, dry cordage of an appropriate strength, size and elasticity for the job. If you’re knot sure how much a rope can hold, don’t trust your life to it. And last but knot least, here’s a brief video with the seven knots you need to know.

Introducing Captain Chris

Introducing Captain Chris!

You may know Captain Chris and his wife, Alyse, from various boat shows. Perhaps you’ve seen them sharing their infinite wisdom and knowledge about cruising, safety, docking and everything in between. Both are US Coast Guard licensed 100 Ton Masters, and have real world cruising experiences to share.

We’re excited to announce that we will be posting a new video from their ample collection of tutorials once a month. Check back often for more videos. And if you have a burning boating question, ask us below! We may have Captain Chris answer 🙂

In the following video, Capt. Chris dissects a boat docking in high winds. One of the comments sums it all up: “The amount of embarrassment to be incurred during the docking procedure is directly proportionate to the number of people watching.”

We hope you enjoy this new video series.

How Deep is the Ocean?

Just how deep is the ocean?
Deep.

The ocean contains 95% of living space on the planet but is woefully under-explored. This remains true despite the vital functions the ocean provides, such as supporting life and regulating oxygen levels.

While the average depth of the ocean is about 2.65 miles, the deepest part is upwards of 6.86 miles deep. This area is called the Challenger Deep, which is located in the western Pacific Ocean.

Deeper water means higher pressure and lower temperatures. These harsh conditions can make deep ocean exploration challenging. Water temperature hovers around 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the pressure is nearly 110 times greater than the earth’s surface. However, due to new technology and rising interest, this is beginning to change.

Watch the video below for an overview of the ocean’s depth.

Special thank you to Real Life Lore for this fascinating video!
