Surviving 2012 in Unsinkable Boats
If in 2012 you choose to endure the forthcoming tidal waves and hurricanes at sea, you absolutely need to have an unsinkable boat at your disposal. But the boat shouldn't only 'not sink', it should not capsize either. Consulting boating experts, chances are that a large ship will become uncontrollable, break up and sink. The message is to use small boats instead of large ones.
Should your boat start seriously leaking you will be in dire straits. History may well have an answer for this issue. The inhabitants of Aha-Men-Ptah escaped by means of their Mandjits, which were small unsinkable boats that they launched in a huge flotilla. So how can we translate this to today's world?
Sailing contests in which yachts capsize and the crew gets imprisoned inside the cabin are a reality that needs to be brought into account when choosing your survival boat. The unfortunate crew cannot free themselves because the water rushes in and the boat sinks. We can follow the coverage of the plight of the unfortunates for several days. During those days they remain locked up before they are rescued. This assumes that the yacht can be located. At the end of 2012, after the reversal of the poles, this would be a hopeless situation that must be avoided.
We will be witness to global destruction, and chances are pretty high that there won't be anyone available to rescue you from awkward situations. So how can you possibly prevent such a situation? Do unsinkable boats exist? Who knows more about this? The good news is that there are a few companies that do build those types of boats...and their business is on the upraise since more and more people see this as an alternative for 2012 survival. One of them being Unsinkable Motor Yacht from Malle, Belgium. Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, is known for housing some of the finest sail boat building companies, especially the unsinkable ones. They are developing an unsinkable motor yacht with an approximate length of ten meters (30 feet). If they succeed they can also start building bigger sailing ships. The Flemish Authority supports this. It believes in a worldwide prevailing quality. The name of the company is ETAP.
In a meeting, sales manager Jan van Speybroeck confirmed they do build and deliver unsinkable boats for their clients. During this conversation, some of the problems that would confront anyone in an ETAP, were identified as follows:
* Broken mast after the calming down of the tsunamis;
* Uncontrollability because the diesel motor cannot be started due to electric failure caused by the magnetic storms.
Unsinkable Boats Generate Substantial Safety
In our opinion these boats will give people the greatest chance for surviving the cataclysm. Besides these yachts, there is just one other possibility, and that is to move up into the high mountains of some well-chosen areas.
Unsinkable boats could make a valuable contribution to the survival of our civilization, just as they did 12000 years ago. In the previous cataclysm they carried along a major selection from their library. Through this it became possible to help science flourish again. In 2012 we will have to have organized something similar. Our advantage will be that the ETAP yachts are far more enduring than the Mandjits of the Atlanteans.
However, this option contains many more risks and insecurities. You may be consumed by volcanic gasses or swallowed by fissures in splitting mountains, or it's possible you might be washed away by the global tidal wave. It is up to you to decide where you will be.
Anyone considering escape by boat needs to take into account that the ETAP yachts are small, and that is a disadvantage. You cannot bring much food, survival material, or many books. Each ship can only carry the most important things, so the literature will have to be divided amongst them. The boats belonging to a group need to stay close to each other, however, in most cases this will be next to impossible. After the chaos has dissolved, the survivors will have to summon all their force to reach the place of gathering, which itself may prove hard to find in a greatly changed world. But it will be imperative to meet, so that all the information that has been spared can be gathered in one place and a mini-library can be constructed as quickly as possible.
Remember, at this moment ETAP is the only producer in the world of comfortable, unsinkable yachts. If you have hesitated too long, you will never be able to get such a yacht. Timing will be an issue even if you want to rent a boat, once you are convinced of the necessity.
A License for Hiring a Boat
Yachts can be rented. To mention some places: the Azure Coast, South Brittany, Corfu, Gouvia and Mallorca. In 2012 there will surely be more places. In order to rent a boat there is, however, one challenge: you need to have a boater's license which means that you have to take an instruction course on boating. Without such a license you cannot rent a boat. Therefore start taking lessons well beforehand, or have someone with you who does have a license!

Fast Yachts
The History of Yachting
The First Yachts
The Yacht was the vessel of choice for many explorers in the 17th Century. Spacious enough to house several men as well as several months’ worth of supplies, including fresh produce to avoid the dreaded scurvy, these Yachts were fast, nimble and seaworthy – perfect for exploring unchartered waters. The Duyfken, which dropped the first western visitors on Australian shores in 1606, was a small 60 ton Yacht and, similarly, the coast of New Zealand was first sighted from the deck of such a vessel 36 years later.
Besides being an ideal exploration vessel, early Yachts also played a pivotal role in many great wars and battles. The Dutch favoured the Yacht as armed tenders and the now famous Duyfken was a critical player in the infamous battle against a blockade of Portuguese ships which essentially ended the Iberian dominance of the spice trade in 1601. As warships grew bigger with improved technology, the Yacht settled into the role of courier during war time, relying on its speed to pass on vital information in a hurry.
The Beginnings of Yachting for Pleasure
Boating and yachting for pleasure is almost as old as boating itself. Egyptian Pharaohs recognised the splendour of water travel and were buried alongside elaborate barges to transport them through the afterlife in elegance and style. But it was in the late 1600’s, many thousands of years later that the joys of water recreation became more attainable and part of everyday life.
Yachting as a Dutch Invention
It was the great maritime country of the Netherlands that, centuries later, not only brought yachting to the world’s attention, but also built and essentially invented the first Yacht. The massive waterways in and around this Dutch country necessitated the use of quick waterborne transportation to move around both goods and people. As the country utilised these vessels to explore the world and trade across the oceans, so their wealth grew. This new found affluence was naturally expressed in finally being able to enjoy this wondrous natural asset of water that had served the people so well.
The pleasure-Yachts that resulted were fiercely patriotic and many even featured cannons to celebrate their country’s military prowess. Waterborne activities such as competitive races, parades and mock-battles became a staple in Dutch culture, cementing the Yacht’s place in leisure activities for the future.
The Yacht Invades Europe
The delights of yachting for pleasure spread across the channel to England, ironically thanks to the British Civil War in 1642. Sent to an island refuge to protect the royal lineage, Charles II began sailing to keep himself amused and soon fell in love with this pastime. A spell in the Netherlands during his exile only deepened his passion for yachting and when he was finally instated as King in 1660, he began an enduring royal patronage of sailing as a recreational sport that would reach into modern times.
When the 17th century Tsar Peter the Great discovered the wreck of a Yacht gifted to Ivan the Terrible over a century before, his own interest in the pastime was peaked. With Russia’s interest from the East and Britain and the Netherlands’ love for pastime yachting slowly spreading into Europe from the West, it was not long before yachting for pleasure was a staple in the European recreational calendar.
Yachting Today
Sailing around the Mediterranean on a private Yacht with the sun setting behind you and the turquoise sea glistening below is an undeniable fantasy of many people. Owning a holiday or vacation home in one particular place is becoming unfashionable. This fixed location becomes dull after a while and is also restrictive should the climate, political situation or currency of a country falter. A much more popular alternative is to invest in a Yacht. This floating holiday home is mobile and can house entire families, allowing vacationers to see the world with their loved ones in five star luxury.
Yachts today are a far cry from the basic sturdy vessels used to transport explorers around the ancient world. Equipped with every modern convenience, businessmen can check their email, make conference calls and organise a merger, all before breakfast and a morning swim in the ocean. Motorisation, differing sizes, increased safety, equipment and technology have all contributed to making yachting a viable and appealing alternative for vacationers.
The Rise of Yacht Charters
As an alternative to owning a Yacht, aspiring sailors can hire a Yacht from a Yacht Brokerage Company. These reputable companies, such as Yachting Partners International will take care of all the finer details, allowing vacationers to simply relax on the seas as their Dutch ancestors intended. Comprehensive itineraries can be planned according to each individual’s interest and all administration, catering and service related issues will be maintained by that company. A far cry from the strenuous yachting of the past, this recreational activity has endured over the centuries to have evolved into a luxury activity.

Travel Tips For Booking Yacht Charter Yacht Florida
Traveling around the world is something that people have always dreamed about. There are so many wild and fun places to visit in this world and many never get the chance to go see any of it. Chartering is a great idea and is actually considered to be a very simple process. Anyone who is thinking about getting away and getting out there on the water, miles away from land can use this guide to get in touch with the top tips to get the very best deal. Doing all of this at the very last minute is even more expensive as well as stressful.
Travelers who want to look into this option will need to take the time to plan and do the research. If this is a first time trip, plan months in advance. The prices should be a lot lower and there should be more options in regards to available dates. Pulling out a tool as simple as a calendar is a great way to see how much time is available and which dates will work the best. The warmer months are the most popular simply because they are more fun. When booking at yacht charter , group trips seem to be the best way to go. Couples who go this route are often saddled with other couples and that does not give them the private setting that they may have been hoping for.
There are often private options that can be booked, but this is going to cost a bit extra. On the other hand, taking a huge group of people along is not only going to be a lot more fun, but it will be much more affordable. Some charter companies will even offer a group rate if enough people are going along. Get a complete count of everyone and make sure that they make their full commitment. Working with professional charter companies is a must. These companies will need to have the right kind of certification to show, as well as insurance. If something does happen, it is important to know that there is a crew on the yacht that will be able to offer ample help within a short amount of time.
There is really no telling what could happen out there on the water, and most of these charter companies are prepared for anything that comes their way. This is yet another research step, but it will eventually pay off when the most reputable company is hired for the day or even a couple of days. To get some more information on these companies, look into customer ratings. Other travelers that have had the chance to work with certain charter companies will provide ratings and reviews for others to look into. If the ratings on a company are too low or the reviews are not very impressive, move on and find something better. Even if the price is just a bit higher, the peace of mind will be there and that is what counts. These reviews can easily be read online, which is going to help the traveler save a good amount of time. Start this up and come up with a simple list of possible options.
Once the list has been created, start getting some price estimates. For the most part this can be very affordable if the right charter has been booked. Give the companies some details about who is going as well as the amount of time that everyone wants to spend out in the water. Some companies will charge an hourly rate for those just going out for the day, while others will just have a flat fee no matter how long you are out , for the day.The flat fee option is great simply because it can be split evenly within the group and that will make it affordable. From there, all the individual needs to do is compare and make their decision. If there are questions that arise, give the company a call and talk with them. The professional that answers should be able to give the right information and make the traveler feel comfortable. Ask about various activities and what to expect when out on the water so that there are no sudden surprises.
Booking a yacht charter for a group is quite easy. As long as the individual research's properly and chooses an affordable price, they should be all set. Choose a company that is safe and prepared for anything and the entire trip out there should be a real blast
