ST TROPEZ, FRANCE, April 28, 2011 (Press-News.org) Are classic sailing yachts becoming more popular than their motor yacht rivals? Figures are suggesting that maybe owing to economic and environmental conditions people are making a move from motor to sail.
William Bishop, Head of YPI Sail explains, "Being at sea on a sailing yacht is an entirely different experience to being on a motor yacht. Sailing yachts allow you to enjoy the journey as much as the destination. There are few people not captivated by the beauty and grace of a sailing yacht gliding into anchorage at sail. They slice through the water so the only noise you hear is the wind and the sea and the sound of nature itself. For many, sailing is being a part of what is around you...not an observer."
Whether you're looking for the exhilaration that comes from taking a super yacht charter on a carbon 100' yacht or are keen to sail in complete comfort on a large J-Class whilst taking a crewed yacht charter around the Mediterranean, there are some great sailing vessels on the market at stunning prices in 2011.
With the world becoming increasingly more eco-minded coupled with the current economic climate, more customers are leaning towards sailing vessels as opposed to fuel hungry motor yachts.
"Sailing yachts tend to be more economical to run than motor yachts," explains Mr Bishop. "It doesn't matter how much money you are worth, money saved on fuel is money that can be enjoyed elsewhere. They are also environmentally responsible. They use wind power, they recycle and store energy. ETHEREAL, for example, uses a hybrid electric-diesel propulsion system and lithium batteries that charge when the yacht is under sail. And these innovations come without any need for compromise on the luxury of the experience onboard."
Gone are the days of cramped quarters and hard manual rope work! Yachts such as the WINDROSE and VANQUEST offer sumptuous living conditions and considerable space for those onboard. Most come with state of the art entertainment and communication equipment and with extra quarters for an onboard crew your time is better spent enjoying yourself on your very own crewed yacht charter.
"All sail yachts have engines so they don't have to rely on the wind," explains Will. "Most sailing yachts can motor up to speeds of 10 knots. There also exists a hybrid between sail and motor yachts. Motorsailers give owners and guests the freedom to cruise the yacht either under sail or under power at even greater speeds, as well as offering more deck space than traditional sail yachts and increased storage for water sports equipment."

Record number of whales, krill found in Antarctic bays
2011-04-28
DURHAM, N.C. – Scientists have observed a "super-aggregation" of more than 300 humpback whales gorging on the largest swarm of Antarctic krill seen in more than 20 years in bays along the Western Antarctic Peninsula.
The sightings, made in waters still largely ice-free deep into austral autumn, suggest the previously little-studied bays are important late-season foraging grounds for the endangered whales. But they also highlight how rapid climate change is affecting the region.
The Duke University-led team tracked the super-aggregation of krill and whales during a six-week ...
Rice University geologist leads team effort to solve mystery of the Colorado Plateau
2011-04-28
A team of scientists led by Rice University has figured out why the Colorado Plateau – a 130,000-square-mile region that straddles Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico -- is rising even while parts of its lower crust appear to be falling. The massive, tectonically stable region of the western United States has long puzzled geologists.
A paper published today in the journal Nature shows how magmatic material from the depths slowly rises to invade the lithosphere -- Earth's crust and strong uppermost mantle. This movement forces layers to peel away and sink, said lead ...
Study: Resiniferatoxin may increase sepsis-related mortality
2011-04-28
Washington, DC — Pain researchers from the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at
Children's National Medical Center have discovered that resiniferatoxin, a drug that has shown early promise as an option for chronic, severe pain sufferers, may decrease the body's ability to fight off bacterial infections, particularly sepsis.
The study, which appears in the May 1 edition of the journal Anesthesiology, sheds new light on the role of a pain receptor, transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 (TRPV1), and how medications designed to impact this receptor's ...
Brain regions can take short naps during wakefulness, leading to errors
2011-04-28
Madison, Wis. – If you've ever lost your keys or stuck the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the refrigerator, you may have been the victim of a tired brain region that was taking a quick nap.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have a new explanation.
They've found that some nerve cells in a sleep-deprived yet awake brain can briefly go "off line," into a sleep-like state, while the rest of the brain appears awake.
"Even before you feel fatigued, there are signs in the brain that you should stop certain activities that may require alertness," says ...
Women at higher risk than men of kidney damage after heart imaging test
2011-04-28
DETROIT – Women are at higher risk than men of developing kidney damage after undergoing a coronary angiogram, according to a Henry Ford Hospital study.
Researchers found that women are 60 percent more likely than men to develop radiocontrast-induced nephropathy (RCIN), an adverse side effect that causes kidney dysfunction within 24 to 72 hours after patients are administered an iodine contrast dye during the common heart imaging test.
This is believed to be the first study in which researchers investigated whether gender played a role in patients developing RCIN after ...
Neurorobotics reveals brain mechanisms of self-consciousness
2011-04-28
A new study uses creative engineering to unravel brain mechanisms associated with one of the most fundamental subjective human feelings: self-consciousness. The research, published by Cell Press in the April 28 issue of the journal Neuron, identifies a brain region called the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) as being critical for the feeling of being an entity localized at a particular position in space and for perceiving the world from this position and perspective.
Recent theories of self-consciousness highlight the importance of integrating many different sensory and ...
Scientists identify genetic risk for major depression
2011-04-28
A new study reveals a novel gene associated with major depression. The research, published by Cell Press in the April 28 issue of the journal Neuron, suggests a previously unrecognized mechanism for major depression and may guide future therapeutic strategies for this debilitating mood disorder.
Major depression is a psychiatric disorder that is responsible for a substantial loss in work productivity and can even lead to suicide in some individuals. "Current treatments for major depression are indispensible but their clinical efficacy is still unsatisfactory, as reflected ...
IPF lung disease numbers are rising quickly to become a significant cause of mortality in UK
2011-04-28
The number of cases of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has continued to rise significantly in the first decade of the 21st century and could lead to more deaths than ovarian cancer, lymphoma, leukaemia, or kidney cancer, reveals research published ahead of print in the Thorax journal.
IPF is the most common of the pneumonias that happen without an apparent cause and previous studies have shown that incidence and deaths from the disease are rising in the UK and the USA.
However, there is currently no mandatory registration of IPF diagnoses in the UK or anywhere ...
New target structure for antidepressants on the horizon?
2011-04-28
They were able to show for the first time that physiologically measurable changes can be observed in the brains of healthy carriers of this risk allele. These changes affect a transporter protein involved in the production of an important neuronal transmitter. Given that traditional drugs interact with similar transporter molecules, the researchers are pinning great hopes on this factor as the target structure of future antidepressant medication.Scientists throughout the world have been trying to identify the genetic causes of depression for many years. The fact that a ...
New opioid-blocking medication effective to treat opioid dependence, in Lancet study

(NASDAQ: ALKS) today announced that results from the phase 3 clinical study of VIVITROL® (naltrexone for extended-release injectable suspension) in opioid dependence have been published by The Lancet.
