Only sailing (and Replica Panerai)

The sun is scorching from the September sky and the heat is closer to 30 degrees. A passing twenty-meter sailing ship passes so decently along the side that the other half of the boat walks beneath the surface. The crew sits on the other side of the boat to keep it in balance. Salt water splashes slightly on the motor yacht acting as an observation boat, but fortunately not on the white wine glass in hand. We are in the middle of the Replica Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge regatta, in the Vele d´Epoca di Imperia in Italy.

The competition, sponsored by fake Panerai since 2005, takes place on two continents and is open mainly to classic, wooden or metal sailboats. The dispersion of the boats is considerable, as the oldest sails were built more than a hundred years ago, and the sizes range from less than ten meters to thirty meters.

So it’s no wonder the rules confuse the layman’s head, and the boat that crosses the finish line first isn’t necessarily the winner. While the glory is competed for forehead sweat and the pants for seawater wet,replica watches for sale it seems that the main thing in the regatta is a team spirit, hedonistically magnificent (and expensive) boats, and out-of-competition events in exotic cities.

Panerai’s own boat in the races is a 22-meter Eilean built in 1936, which Panerai’s CEO, sailing landman Angelo Bonati, completely refurbished after finding it in Antigua, eaten by termites, in 2006. The ship’s captain Andrew Cully pulled a guided tour facilities.

Inside the cabin you will find a few single-edition Panerait built just for Eilean: a clock, barometer, hygrometer and thermometer.cheap replica watches uk A couple of frosty bottles of wine and a guest book opened on the table are highlighted, and a greeting from Simon Le Bon stands out from the open magazine. Duran Duran recorded his “Rio” music video in Eilean in 1982.

Eilean’s year of construction in 1936 is coincidentally – or not – the same as when the first Radiomir prototype was made. The sailing ship exudes the same authentic history as the replica watches Panerai watches. They have the same DNA. Partly for the same reason, even between Panerai, even clever clocks don’t seem pretentious on the deck of a boat, because that’s where they were created: for salt water, speed, and dangerous situations. This is Panerai’s undeniable strength, but also a limitation.

Bonati, sitting in a white polo shirt in the replica watches uk Panerai lounge in the harbor, admits this. The selected line will not be slipped unless the pastel-colored bracelets launched some time ago can be considered as such. However, Bonati never admits to making any mistakes. “My ego wouldn’t allow that,” he grins. There is also a certain tension in the Panerai brand between Italianness and Swissness. This excellent Bonatilla has a clear vision: “I am an Italian, Panerai is an Italian.”

Appropriately announced during the regatta, the new blue-blue designs are perhaps a concession to the blue boom in the watch world for a couple of years now. Of course, the edition is limited, and these models are only available in fake watches Panerai’s own stores. However, the navy blue boards sit in the world of Panerai so smoothly that the sequel can well be followed, although the clamps will certainly raise their eyebrows.

The afternoon is turning into evening and the fake Panerai uk lounge is starting to fill up with the boat crews. The winner of today’s race is still in the dark, and to figure it out, you need the advice of a couple of hundred-page rulebook as well as a sheer dose of applying the gentlemen’s rules. Is competition even sensible or practical with such antique boats? Certainly not, but that’s why it’s so beautiful and so necessary.

And then another final relief for all lovers of good music and boating.
