Skagen 50, CALLISTO J – Fully equipped for the Med.

May 25th, 2018

Hailing from 2007, this is a seriously competent semi-displacement cruising motor-yacht . Owned from new, and specifically equipped for the Mediterranean ( where she has spent her life ), this Skagen 50 has a very well-conceived lay-out, combining three cabins with two decent shower/heads compartments, an airy, light and level saloon and galley space, with a broad, long fly deck sitting atop of her superstructure.

“CALLISTO J” benefits from full air-conditioning, upgrade generator, water-maker and washer-drier – with a Williams jet tender to see you safely ashore. Moreover, for those planning to run their own yachts as a couple, she has the super-useful Yacht Controller wireless remote for the throttles and the  bow and stern thrusters – making docking a real joy and taking the stress out of tight marina confines.

In terms of build and sea-keeping – the Skagen 50 receives an A category rating. Her hull is soft through a head-sea, stable at low revs, and her pronounced keel allows her to track easily downwind and down-weather. Another feature from her fastidious Owner’s tick-list is the Aqua-Drive anti-vibration coupling: transmitting noise and resonance away from her drive-train and thus reducing sound and reverberation under way. Little things, but they make spending time on board so much more pleasant and less tiring on a longer passage.

As MBY noted, “With its fine engineering, build quality, deep keel, good mooring gear and its free-flowing interior and deck layout, Seaway’s new Skagen 50 excels as a tri-cabin, twin heads, long-distance cruising boat. It is a serious offshore cruiser and weekend party boat – as an all-rounder, it’s very impressive.”

CALLISTO J walk through:

CALLISTO J is available now, and already lying in the sun-drenched waters of the Adriatic. Pleased do call Hugh Rayner on 01590 647444 or email [email protected] for more information on her, and an appointment to view.

A good-looking boat by any standard, the Skagen 50 is a classy sedan cruiser with a traditional trewler-style profile. She is devoted to the new generation of experienced powerboaters and mature sailors who are looking for a more comfortable and satisfying way of serious cruising. In this part of boating world, where the sailing and powerboating cultures meet, the yacht has to offer a strong, reliable and seaworthy (offshore) hull that can be handled by owner/wife crew, giving generous and comfortable accommodation for a longer stay aboard for the couple plus occasional guests or (grand) children, long range and self-sufficient capacities for longer cruise in sailing areas with non-developed infrastructure (water, food, fuel, safe harbours,…) and traditional noble values throughout looks, styling, woodwork. Built on semi-displacement hull (efficient, comfortable ride, easy to handle and safe offshore performance), she has a deep protective keel which provides directional stability at slow speeds and following seas & reduces roll and guarantees well-protected rudder and running gear. The layout plan feauters three decks levels with plenty of space. Well-protected cockpit has vast area for lounging and relaxing, well connection to main saloon and is protected from sun, wind and spray. Pilothouse is equiped with side door port and starboard for fast and comfortable access to boat sides, a must for narrow quarters manouvers. Also, a direct access from pilothouse to the flybridge for fast change of steering station is an important safety factor in all critical situations. Vast flybridge area has unmatched comfort on the spacious terrace above the sea for unobstructed visibility steering, entertaining or sun-lounging. Aditional feauters include spacious, well lit and aerated interior for long-term and long-range comfort for a crew of up to 6 and well arranged engine room. Skagen 50 is offering a maximum speed of appr. 20-22 knots with 2x450 HP and a cruising speed of say 16-18 knots. Basic motorization of say 2 x 370 HP should give cruising 15 knots and max 18/19 knots. The speed is attainable at full load displacement of 24 T. At the same time the hull runs very smooth at displacement speed of say 8-9 knots giving a very good range. Published: 2004 Photo: NauCat, Skagen

Helly Hansen’s Skagen Line—It’s the Attention to Detail

• By Dave Powlison
• October 2, 2023

Every so often, a set of foul-weather gear arrives at our offices that makes us really sit up and take notice. Helly Hansen’s new coastal/offshore sailing jacket and bib salopette from their Skagen line is one of those. But it wasn’t the quality that first got our attention—we’ll talk about that in a bit. It was the price. A true offshore jacket for $375 and $275 for the salopettes? There must be a typo. But we checked. No typo. Fantastic news for the budget-conscious. 

But is it worth the savings? You bet. Let’s start with the jacket. Like most coastal/offshore jackets, it’s made of breathable, waterproof material, but just handling it you get the sense that, yeah, I’d wear this just about anywhere Perfect for Mackinac races. The material is made from Ocean Bound fabric, sourced from discarded plastic near and in coastlines and waterways to clean up those underserved areas but also create a burly yet protective fabric.  This is tough stuff. But it doesn’t weigh so much that you’ll notice it after wearing it all day. Inside is a mesh moisture-barrier liner, so you won’t end up as wet inside as outside. There are no interior pockets, but with three on a side on the exterior, it’s doubtful you’ll ever need them. On each side of the upper chest are large, fleece-lined pockets with waterproof zippers. Great for stashing valuables or warming up cold hands. Below each of those is a large, horizontally opening pocket, secured with a Velcro flap. Adjacent to each of those is another fleece-lined pocket—more great hand-warming options. The cuffs have the usual exterior Velcro closure, but inside there’s a soft rubber cuff with another Velcro closure. Water’s going to have a tough time getting into these sleeves. A cool safety detail is that when you extend your arm out of the cuff opening—think waving to rescuers while in the water—a section of fluorescent-green cuff is exposed, providing one more way for searchers to spot you. In addition, there are reflective patches at the ends of each sleeve, on top of each shoulder and on top of the fluorescent-green hood. Great safety touches.

One of the unique features of the Helly Hansen coastal/offshore sailing jacket is the super-high collar. It’s fleece-lined and, when fully zipped, comes about halfway up your ears and then tapers higher yet from there so that about half of the back of your head is protected. But there’s more. Attached to the left side is a breathable, fleece-lined flap that, with the hood up, can be secured across the bottom of your face and over your nose, cocooning you in a secure envelope of sorts, leaving only your eyes exposed. Talk about protection. When not in use, the flap can be secured off to the left side with Velcro or rolled up to disappear into a small pocket off to the side. Pretty cool!

Helly Hansen’s bib salopettes are constructed of similarly tough material as the jacket, with extra beefiness on the seat and knees. Inside, they’re fully lined with the same moisture-barrier mesh liner as the jacket. There’s a large gusset and two-way zipper to make seeking relief a breeze. Like the jacket, there are plenty of pockets, including one on each thigh. We particularly liked how these were designed to extend out from the thigh when holding something, such as sailing gloves. No discomfort here. Southpaws will like the dual chest pockets. Often there’s just one, and it’s located on the left side, making it difficult for left-handers to access the pocket. We also liked the waist cinchers with positive latching system. Set them to length, click in, and they’ll stay put. Finally, there are the Velcro tabs at the ankles. Rather than positioning them horizontally, they angle upward, which causes the ankle openings to flare out slightly—think boot-cut jeans. That funnels water away from your shoes instead of straight down into them. Nice comfort feature!

The Skagen line is named after Denmark’s northernmost town, which is surrounded by the sea on three sides. Withstanding the elements is certainly an aspect of life there, and in keeping with its namesake, Helly Hansen’s Skagen line does the same.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.
