Review of Aphrodite 25Basic specs.. The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all. The boat equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed. The Aphrodite 25 has been built with different keel alternatives. Unknown keel type The keel is made of iron. Many people prefer lead keel in favour of iron. The main argument is that lead is much heavier than iron and a lead keel can therefore be made smaller which again result in less wet surface, i.e. less drag. In fact iron is quite heavy, just 30% less heavy than lead, so the advantage of a lead keel is often overstated. The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.50 - 1.60 meter (4.92 - 5.22 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below. This keel is also made of iron. The boat can enter most marinas as the draft is just about 1.55 - 1.65 meter (5.09 - 5.39 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below. Aphrodite 25 may be equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD5 diesel engine at 7 hp (5 kW). Calculated max speed is about 4.3 knots Sailing characteristicsThis section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats. What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)? The capsize screening value for Aphrodite 25 is 2.26, indicating that this boat would not be accepted to participate in ocean races. What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed? The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 6.2 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed. The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Aphrodite 25 is about 126 kg/cm, alternatively 705 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 126 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 705 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch. Sailing statisticsThis section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points. What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

Boston 25 Now Divers recover 5 bodies from wrecked superyacht off Sicily; 1 still missingAPTOPIX Italy Boaters Missing Italian firefighter scuba divers bring ashore, in the green bag, the body of one of the victims from the British-flagged vessel Bayesian, Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024. The yacht was hit by a violent sudden storm and sank early Monday, while at anchor off the Sicilian village of Porticello near Palermo, in southern Italy. (AP Photo/Salvatore Cavalli) (Salvatore Cavalli/AP) PORTICELLO, Sicily — (AP) — Divers searching the wreck of a superyacht that sank off Sicily found the bodies of five passengers Wednesday, leaving one still missing as questions intensified about why the vessel sank so quickly when a nearby sailboat remained largely unscathed. Rescue crews brought four body bags ashore at Porticello. Salvatore Cocina, head of the Sicily civil protection agency, said a fifth body had been located. Divers on-scene said they would try to recover it on Thursday while continuing the search for the sixth. The discovery made clear the operation to search the hull on the seabed 50 meters (164 feet) underwater had quickly turned into a recovery one, not a rescue, given the amount of time that had passed and with no signs of life over three days of searching. The Bayesian, a 56-meter (184-foot) British-flagged yacht, went down in a storm early Monday as it was moored about a kilometer (a half-mile) offshore. Civil protection officials said they believed the ship was struck by a tornado over the water, known as a waterspout. Fifteen people escaped in a lifeboat and were rescued by a nearby sailboat. The body of the ship's chef, Recaldo Thomas of Antigua, was recovered Monday. Thomas was born in Canada, according to his cousin David Isaac, but visited his parents’ homeland of Antigua as a child, and moved permanently to the tiny eastern Caribbean island in his early 20s. Italian officials previously listed Antigua and Canada as the nationality of people on board. The fate of six missing passengers had driven the search effort, including British tech magnate Mike Lynch , his 18-year-old daughter and associates who had successfully defended him in a recent U.S. federal fraud trial. Lynch’s spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday. Meanwhile, Termini Imerese Public Prosecutor's Office investigators were acquiring evidence for their criminal investigation, which they opened immediately after the tragedy despite no formal suspects having been publicly identified. Questions have abounded about what caused the superyacht, built in 2008 by Italian shipyard Perini Navi, to rapidly sink, when the nearby Sir Robert Baden Powell sailboat was largely spared and managed to rescue the survivors. Giovanni Costantino, head of The Italian Sea Group, which owns the ship maker, blamed human error for the disaster, which he said took 16 minutes. “The ship sank because it took on water. From where, the investigators will say,” he told RAI state television after he met with prosecutors. Costantino cited AIS ship tracking data which he said showed the Bayesian had taken on water for four minutes when a sudden gust of wind flipped it and it continued taking on water. The ship straightened up slightly and then went down, he said. But was it merely the case of a freak waterspout that knocked the ship to its side and allowed water to pour in through open hatches? What was the position of the keel, which on a large sailboat like the Bayesian might have been retractable to allow it to enter shallower ports? “There’s a lot of uncertainty as to whether it had a lifting keel and whether it might have been up,” said Jean-Baptiste Souppez, a fellow of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects and the editor of the Journal of Sailing Technology. “But if it had, then that would reduce the amount of stability that the vessel had, and therefore made it easier for it to roll over on its side,” he said in an interview. The captain of the sailboat that rescued survivors said his craft sustained minimal damage — the frame of a sun awning broke — even with winds that he estimated reached 12 on the Beaufort wind scale, which is the highest hurricane-strength force on the scale. He said he had remained anchored with his engines running to try to maintain the ship’s position as the forecast storm rolled in. “Another possibility is to heave anchor before the storm and to run downwind at open sea,” Karsten Borner said in a text message. But he said that might not have been possible for the Bayesian, given its trademark 75-meter (246-foot) tall mast. “If there was a stability problem, caused by the extremely tall mast, it would not have been better at open sea,” he said. Yachts like the Bayesian are required to have watertight, sub-compartments that are specifically designed to prevent a rapid, catastrophic sinking even when some parts fill with water. The underwater search continued in dangerous and time-consuming conditions. Because of the wreck’s depth, which requires special precautions, divers working in pairs could only spend about 12 minutes at a time searching, though reinforcements outfitted with special equipment to enable longer dives were on the wreck Wednesday. In all, some 27 divers took rotations, including four who helped with recovery after the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster off Tuscany. They called the Porticello wreck a “little Concordia,” fire crews said in a statement. The limited dive time was aimed in part at avoiding decompression sickness, also known as the “bends,” which can occur when divers stay underwater for long periods and ascend too quickly, allowing nitrogen gas dissolved in the blood to form bubbles. “The longer you stay, the slower your ascent has to be,” said Simon Rogerson, the editor of SCUBA magazine. He said the tight turnaround time suggested the operation's managers were trying to limit the risks and recovery time after each dive. “It sounds like they’re operating essentially on no decompression or very tight decompression, or they’re being extremely conservative,” he said. Divers were also working with debris floating around them, limited visibility and air tanks on their backs. “We are trying to advance in tight spaces, but any single thing slows us down,” said Luca Cari, spokesman for the fire rescue service. “An electric panel could set us back for five hours. These aren’t normal conditions. We’re at the limit of possibility.” Winfield reported from Rome and Kirka from London. Associated Press journalists Trisha Thomas in Rome; Andrea Rosa in Porticello; and Anika Kentish in St. John’s, Antigua, contributed to this report.

We see it grated in zucchini bread, spiralized with marinara, fried with dip, or diced up in a salad. Today we're featuring it as a delicious vessel for a mouthwatering spinach and artichoke filling. When the seasoned boats are roasted, their natural sweetness comes out as they caramelize in the oven. The filling of soft cream cheese and tangy feta mixed with sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, and chopped spinach provides the perfect example of how combining simple ingredients can elevate a dish to new heights. These stuffed zucchini boats make the perfect light dinner paired with soup, or a scrumptious side dish with just about any entree. Wellness coach and recipe developer Miriam Hahn brings us this recipe and says, "I love using basic everyday vegetables in new and creative ways, especially when they are in season and plentiful. At first glance, this recipe might look complicated, but it's actually very easy and only a few tools are needed." Gather the ingredients for spinach and artichoke zucchini boatsTo make this recipe, start in the produce aisle and pick up zucchini, garlic, spinach, lemon, chives, and optional parsley. When choosing the zucchini, look for large, straight ones, so that they are easy to work with in terms of cutting out the zucchini flesh and stuffing. Then grab some marinated artichoke hearts and marinated sun-dried tomatoes. The marinated versions will add a lot of flavor to the filling and this will save the step of seasoning those separately. Hit up the dairy section of the store for mayonnaise, cream cheese, and feta cheese. Of course, if you want to make this recipe vegan, just go for dairy-free versions of these. Lastly, you'll need olive oil, salt, and pepper. Step 1: Preheat the oven
Step 2: Season and roast the zucchini
Step 3: Add oil to a pan
Step 4: Add spinach and artichoke hearts
Step 5: Add cheeses and sun-dried tomatoes
Step 6: Scoop out the zucchini flesh
Step 7: Stuff the zucchinis
Step 8: Garnish and serve the zucchini boats
What can I use the leftover zucchini flesh for?There are many ways to use the leftover zucchini flesh that you remove to make the zucchini boats. It can be added to soup for extra thickness and nutrition. If you are making Minestrone soup, the zucchini will be a perfect addition. If you opt for any blended soup, you can add the zucchini flesh to the blender when you add the other ingredients for extra smoothness. Add the zucchini to stuffed peppers by mixing it in with the rice, ground beef, or a bean mixture before stuffing the peppers. Other entrees like pasta dishes can easily incorporate zucchini. Try it in a vegetable lasagna, pasta primavera, or baked ziti. Sauces are another great way to use up the zucchini. Blend it into marinara sauce, romesco sauce , or pesto. You won't taste the neutral zucchini, but you'll get the added benefits of the nutrients. The zucchini also lends itself to any type of breakfast omelet, frittata, or tofu scramble. Just add it when you add the eggs, tofu, cheese, herbs, and other ingredients. What pairs well with the zucchini boats?If you want the zucchini boats to serve as your entree, they pair well with a bowl of soup. Consider tomato basil, lentil soup, roasted red pepper soup, minestrone, or chicken noodle soup. A salad also works nicely with the boats. Anything from a simple green salad to something fancier like a Caesar salad, Caprese salad , or a Greek salad. For heartier options, try a salad with a grain like a spring vegetable and herb grain salad , a black bean quinoa salad, or a farro and roasted beet salad. Serving some warm crusty bread is a nice accompaniment with the zucchini boats and soup or salad. If you plan to serve the boats with an entree as a side dish, they go nicely with grilled chicken breast, chicken piccata , herb-crusted tilapia, shrimp scampi , pork tenderloin, or flank steak. The boats also lend themselves to a variety of pasta dishes like lasagna, pasta primavera, fettuccini alfredo, or spicy penne pasta. For dessert, a classic tiramisu, fresh berries, or lemon cake all finish the meal off deliciously.

A Missouri man drowned after jumping in the water to save his girlfriend's 5-year-old son, according to local reports. David Moore, 66, from St. Joseph, Missouri, died Aug. 17 after he jumped into the water when the boy, who was wearing a life vest, began to float away from the boat. Another person who was not wearing a life vest also fell into the water, KQ2 ABC and KCTV 5 reported. Moore was also not wearing a vest when he jumped in. The two people fell off a pontoon boat on Smithville Lake, about 30 miles north of Kansas City. Moore was able to rescue the two people and get them back on the boat, but the current pulled him away from the boat, causing him to drown. The other two people survived. His head went underwater three times before he disappeared. The Missouri State Highway Patrol later found Moore's body, reports KCTV 5. David Moore 'spent a lifetime' helping others"David lost his life helping others out and wouldn't have had it end any other way," according to a GoFundMe that was put together to help raise money for funeral costs. The GoFundMe raised around $100, but was later deactivated by the organizer, Jeff Penland. “He would be the first one to help anybody,” Moore's childhood friend William “Bill” Penland told KCTV. Police and Moore's family are urging people to wear their life vests on the water. |

The FBI once caught a purported spy on the boat. Thanks for watching! After the war, Aphrodite joined a fleet of Fishers Island yachts owned by Rockefellers, DuPonts and others. Whitney's boat blew them away. With her new V-12 Packards, she was the "mile-a-minute" boat of Long Island Sound.
