2005 Corsair F-24 Mk-II

Beverly, Massachusetts

The F-24 Mk II is a compact, easily trailerable, folding trimaran that is ideal for cruising and level racing. With its roomy cabin and optional cruising amenities, the F-24 also becomes a highly mobile pocket cruiser. But it's the amazing performance - with 20-knots plus speed capability - that sets the F-24 apart. The F-24 is a tough, lightweight sport boat that is exceptionally fast, responsive and safe to sail. In recognition of its versatility and broad-based appeal, the F-24 won the "Performance Multihull" title in Sailing World's 1996 Boat of the Year competition. The F-24 has a surprisingly large and roomy cabin. The large pop-top companionway hatch can be rigged with a weather enclosure fitted with either windows or screens. The F-24 converts easily into an overnight family cruiser. An optional galley module that includes a sink, stove, water tank and pump provides basic amenities, and there's also space for a portable head. When day-sailing or racing, these units can be removed easily to save space and reduce weight. The two single settees in the cabin and a V-berth forward sleep four in comfort. The mast is easily raised or lowered by one person using the trailer winch or one of the jib sheet winches. The flexible sail plan gives the F-24 all-round performance in a wide range of conditions and is easy to handle. It sports a fully-battened, square-top mainsail, which places more sail area aloft to take best advantage of light air. The working jib may be either hank-on or roller furled. The F-24 employs a single, carbon-reinforced daggerboard situated in the main hull. This is an efficient foil of uniform section that minimizes drag while enhancing lift, boat speed and overall performance.

Folding System

Legendary ability, unbeatable reliability.

Folding and unfolding a Corsair trimaran takes only a minute. With just 4 bolts to remove, it is easily managed by one person, and is normally done while afloat. Simply raise (to fold) or press down (to unfold) the inboard end of one cross beam. It can be done from the safety of the cockpit and only a little force is needed due to the folding system’s carefully balanced geometry, and the movement of the floats being mostly horizontal.

The solid aluminium folding struts have absolute control over the folding motion and prevent flexing or racking. A stainless steel bolt on the inboard end of each beam secures the floats for sailing. Crucially, wingnets remain attached during the folding process – their frictionless fixing allows them to tension themselves appropriately through the folding process. The system is so simple and balanced that Corsair trimarans can even be folded while motoring.

TRAILERING ACROSS CONTINENTS

Corsair Marine trimarans are especially weight-conscious, and sit low on their trailers meaning they have excellent trailering characteristics. They are equally easy to launch, giving you more time on the water, and the ability to expore many more remote cruising grounds or participate in regattas far from home. Some Corsair trimaran models go from trailer to water in 25 minutes, and with practice even the largest boat models can be done in 40 minutes.

Moscow Muled

Top 5 blueberry mule recipes.

Jun 25, 2020

In this post, we reveal the top recipes for the Blueberry Mule, which is a delicious, fruity twist on the classic Moscow Mule. Let's get started!

Introduction

The Blueberry Moscow Mule is a great take on the now-classic Moscow Mule. As a refreshing and fruity drink that has just the right amount of alcohol, it goes perfectly with warm days out on the porch, beachside happy hours, poolside with your significant other, or just lounging in the living room with a good book. And it's no small bonus that the Blueberry Moscow Mule is Instagram-worthy!

In this article you will learn:

• What are the health benefits of blueberries in your drink? 
• What’s in a Blueberry Moscow Mule?
• What is the Classic Blueberry Mule recipe? 

5 Variations of the Blueberry Moscow Mule Cocktail

The Health Benefits of Blueberries 

These little summer fruits are not only delicious ingredients that work with a wide range of dishes and drinks, but they also come packed with health benefits! 

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants which protect you from free radicals, which are those nasty molecules that cause cell damage and possibly cancer. This has been noted by three different published studies compiled by Joe Leech, MS. 

Blueberries also help maintain the bones of fruit-lovers. Megan Ware, RDN, LD writes: 

“Blueberries contain iron, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, manganese, zinc and vitamin K. Each of these is a component of bone. Adequate intake of these minerals and vitamins contributes to building and maintaining bone structure and strength.”

In addition, "one cup of blueberries delivers 14% of the recommended daily dose of fiber and nearly a quarter of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C," according to Chloe Thompson of WebMD . 

So, putting two and two together, you've got a great taste from an ingredient that can go with a wide variety of dishes and a load of health benefits; it's only a matter of time until you decide that having a Blueberry Mule can actually turn any happy hour into legit self-care hour--copper mugs and all! 

What Goes Into a Blueberry Moscow Mule?  

Now, in the infinity of the internet you'll find tons of Blueberry Moscow Mule recipes. Everyone's got their own take, and, as an aspiring home bartender, you'll want to explore a lot of these recipes on your own. That's why we've compiled a quick list of what we believe are the best Blueberry Moscow Mule recipes that you can try today. Let's start by breaking down the components of the classic Blueberry Mule.  

The Blueberries

Ah, the heart and soul of this cocktail. Blueberries add a very specific kind of sweetness to this drink. There's a sourness that comes right after the sweetness, but, strangely enough, it remains pleasant. An easy way to describe the taste would be that it's a very intense grape flavor. When making this cocktail, you will definitely want to get that beautiful blue-violet color. To achieve this without using food coloring or syrup, you'll need small ripe blueberries. 

The Garnish

Thin slices of lime or lemon are often used to garnish the drink along with whole fresh blueberries. According to simple color-theory, having yellow and blue-violet stick out of a copper mug is not only appealing, but visually complementary. 

The Ginger Beer

One of the key ingredients of this drink is ginger beer. However, never mix the ginger beer in a shaker along with the other ingredients as it ruins the carbonation of the beer. Instead, once the ginger beer is in the copper mug, stir with a spoon. Doing this will maintain the carbonation as long as possible. 

The Vodka, Possibly Blueberry  Flavored

Vodka and blueberries go together brilliantly: the strong smell of vodka is somehow masked by the sweetness of the entire drink, but none of the kick goes away. If you find, however, that the vodka taste is still unpleasant, you can try blueberry-flavored vodka for an even sweeter flavor. 

The Ginger Ale 

For those who prefer a sweeter and less carbonated beverage, you can use ginger ale as a substitute for ginger beer . Ginger beer, however, offers a stronger flavor than ginger beer.

So, now that we've got the basic ingredients on here--and hopefully in your kitchen, too--let's discuss the nitty-gritty of the recipes. 

The Classic Blueberry Moscow Mule

Much like the traditional Moscow Mule, this version of the Blueberry Mule is traditionally served in a copper mug filled with ice and garnished with mint leaves and lime. It has the added textures and flavors of blueberries and blueberry syrup. 

The ingredients needed for the blueberry ginger syrup include:

• 3/4 cup unsweetened ginger juice
• 3/4 cup sugar 
• 1/2 cup blueberries

The ingredients needed for the Blueberry Moscow Mule include: 

• 1- and 1/2-ounce vodka 
• 1/2-ounce blueberry ginger syrup 
• 1/2-ounce lime juice 
• 1 cup ginger beer

To create the blueberry ginger syrup:

• Place saucepan in medium heat and add the ginger juice, sugar, and blueberries.
• Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for an extra 20 minutes. 
• Strain the thick syrup into a sealable container. Store in the refrigerator.

To create the Classic Blueberry Moscow Mule:

• In a copper mug, add the ginger beer, vodka, and lime juice.
• Pour some blueberry ginger syrup then stir. Add ice. 
• Garnish with fresh blueberries and lime wedges.

Kick your Blueberry Moscow Mule up a notch with new tricks on how to serve it and how to get the most out of the blueberry flavor. These exciting twists are also ideal for large servings.

Variation 1: The Soaked Blueberry Moscow Mule 

Another variation of the Blueberry Moscow Mule is to soak the blueberries in the vodka for a prolonged period. This version is best prepared for a large batch served in punch bowls, a pitcher, or a mason jar dispenser as seen below. Now, the great thing about this first variation is you can enjoy it two ways: you can either enjoy sipping on the blueberry vodka all on its own with the recipe below, or you can go full regalia and use it to make Blueberry Moscow Mules that have stronger hints of this delightful little fruit. 

Let’s start with the blueberry vodka. 

The ingredients include:

• 2 pounds fresh blueberries, washed 
• 1.75 ml bottle of vodka 

This blueberry vodka recipe is easier than pie! In a sealable container, drop in the washed blueberries and pour in vodka. Cover the mixture and let this sit in room temperature for one week. After a week, voila! You’ll have yourself an easy, fruity drink that needs only crushed ice and great company to enjoy it with. 

But that’s not why we’re here. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of this Blueberry Moscow Mule recipe. Here’s what you’ll need: 

• Fresh mint leaves 
• 2-3 ounces blueberry vodka  
• Juice of 1 lime 
• crushed ice 
• 12-ounce can of ginger beer
• In your palm, smash the stem of the mint leaf with your thumb then clap both hands together. This releases the flavor of the mint leaf much better than muddling ever will. 
• In a copper mug, drop in the clapped mint leaves then fill with crushed ice. 
• Add 2-3 ounces of blueberry vodka
• Squeeze in a wedge of lime, then top off this delightful concoction with ginger beer. 
• Add crushed ice.

Optional: Strain pieces of the blueberry from the vodka and use as a garnish. 

Note: If you or your guests find the mixture too strong, simply add more ginger beer into their mug.

Variation 2: Frozen Blueberry Mule 

This recipe relies heavily on crushed ice and the blueberry syrup as a base. This Blueberry Moscow Mule is a beautiful alternative to frozen margaritas! This is one of those recipes that take some level of preparation, but a few of these and you and your friends will be belting your favorite songs without a care in the world in no time. 

Create the simple syrup using these ingredients:

• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• In a saucepan, add the sugar, water, and blueberries. 
• Place pan in medium flame until boiling.  
• Once boiling, lower the heat and let simmer for an additional 20 minutes. 
• Take the saucepan out of the flame, and, using a strainer, pour into a jar. Let the syrup cool down to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator. 

Now onto the Mule!

Ingredients needed include:

• 1 cup ginger beer 
• 4-ounce vodka 
• 2-ounce lime juice 
• 2-ounce blueberry syrup that you’ve got sitting in your fridge  
• Crushed ice 
• Mint leaves and blueberries for garnish
• Combine the ginger beer, vodka, lime juice, and blueberry syrup in a blender and blend accordingly. 
• Add crushed ice and blend again. 
• Pour into drink containers (copper mugs or margarita glasses) and garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves.
• Serve and sing your heart out!  

Variation 3: Blueberry Mule with Whiskey

This is an unorthodox variation of the Blueberry Mule . For this recipe, we’ll be using whiskey instead of the usual dash of vodka. This will add an unusual but ultimately delicious depth of smokey and sweet flavors to the mix. One great advantage of this variation is that it requires very little preparation, so it’s great for surprise guests or if you’ve just had a long, hard day and want to unwind with something other than a boring bottle of beer. 

The ingredients for this Blueberry Moscow Mule Recipe include:

• 1 lemon wedge 
• 2 tsp organic sugar 
• 15 fresh blueberries 
• 2-ounce whiskey 
• 1-2-ounce ginger beer
• In a shaker, muddle the lemon and blueberries in with the sugar. 
• Pour the whiskey in and shake.
• Fill a copper mug or a regular whiskey glass with crushed ice.
• Strain the blueberry with whiskey mixture into the glass.
• Top off with ginger beer.
• Garnish with lemon slices, blueberries, and mint leaves.  

Variation 4: Low Carb Keto Version

Watching out for your summer bod and enjoying a sweet drink every now and then shouldn’t have to be mutually exclusive activities. This Low Carb Keto Blueberry Mule sports only 72 calories and 2 grams net carbs, allowing you to both stick to your Keto diet and indulge in this sweet and (almost) sinful drink. 

This recipe requires a homemade blueberry juice for the base of this cocktail, and the ingredients needed include:

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries 
• 1 tablespoon sugar substitute (Splenda, Equal, Stevia, or any granulated erythritol sweetener)
• 1/3 cup water
• In a blender, pour in the blueberries, sweetener, and water. Blend until smooth.
• Strain the juice as you pour into a jar.
• Store the blueberry juice in the refrigerator until use. 

To make the cocktail, prepare these ingredients:

• ½ ounce of the blueberry juice
• 1-ounce vodka
• ½ teaspoon lime juice
• 4-ounces diet ginger beer
• 1 teaspoon of sugar substitute (Splenda, Equal, Stevia, or any granulated Erythritol sweetener)
• ¼ teaspoon powdered cinnamon
• In a shaker, combine the blueberry juice, vodka, lime juice, and ice. Shake for 10 seconds. 
• Add the ginger beer in the shaker and stir with a spoon. 
• In a saucer, mix the cinnamon powder and sugar substitute
• Moisten the rim of the glass with the lime wedge and dip in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
• Add ice into a glass and pour the mixture in.
• Garnish with lime and fresh blueberries. 

Variation 5: Blueberry Lemon Ice Cubes 

This simple preparation of blueberry ice cubes is exactly what it sounds like: ice cubes that are designed to both keep your drink cold and infuse a stronger blueberry flavor as you nurse the drink in your hand. This variation works absolutely perfect with the Classic Blueberry Moscow Mule! 

Prepare the ice cubes using these ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups of blueberries
• ½ fresh lemon
• ½ cup of white grape juice
• In a blender, squeeze out and pour in the lemon juice with the blueberries and grape juice. Blend until smooth. 
• Using a lidded ice tray, pour in the liquid.
• Place the tray in the fridge and wait a while. It’ll take more than a few hours to freeze, so it’s a good idea to prepare these ice cubes way ahead of time before entertaining any guests. 

Now, these ice cubes work best with the most basic of all Blueberry Moscow Mules! This is the stuff you will need per serving:  

• 5-7 blueberry ice cubes
• 2-ounces vodka
• 4-ounces ginger beer
• Fresh blueberries
• Mint leaves
• 2-3 slices of lemon
• Fill the copper mug with blueberry ice cubes.
• Pour in the ginger beer and vodka.
• Garnish with lemon slices, mint leaves, and fresh blueberries. 

Blueberries are not only packed with health benefits, but they are also a great core ingredient for your home’s happy hour!

Russian IADS Redux Part-7: The Effectors

In the next part of our series on Russia’s strategic integrated air defence system, we look at the kinetic ground-based air defence systems it deploys.

In part-6 of our series on Russia’s strategic Integrated Air Defence System (IADS) we examined the command and control architecture it depends upon. The IADS’ role is ultimately to provide a response to air threats approaching or entering Russian airspace. In Russian air defence doctrine this response is provided using kinetic and/or electronic effects.

The kinetic side of the IADS depends on the Russian Aerospace Force’s (RASF’s) fighters and Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems. Sources have shared with Armada that both the fighter and SAM force would be deployed in wartime to protect key Russian strategic targets. Typically, these could include politico-military targets like the Kremlin, the seat of the Russian government in Moscow. Other potential strategic targets include hardened facilities believed to be earmarked for use by the Russian leadership in wartime. One of these facilities is thought to be located at Mount Yamantau, southwest Russia. A back-up facility may exist at Mount Kosvinsky Kaman, western Russia. Russia’s industrial city of Elektrostal, on the eastern outskirts of Moscow, was one of the first locations where the RASF deployed its S-400 (NATO reporting name SA-21 Growler) high-altitude, long-range SAM systems in 2010.

The SAM Systems

Moscow itself is ring-fenced by the RASF’s 53T6 (ABM-3 Gazelle) anti-ballistic missile system. The 53T6 employs SAMs equipped with a ten kiloton (one kiloton is equal to 1,000 tonnes of conventional explosive) nuclear warhead. These missiles would detonate at altitude in proximity to incoming salvos of ballistic missile warheads or formations of hostile aircraft. The logic is that this ‘shotgun’ approach will vaporise, or at least badly damage, these targets.

The S-400 is the mainstay of the RASF SAM force. A typical S-400 battalion includes two batteries. A battery comprises between eight and twelve individual launch vehicles, each equipped with four missile tubes. Thus, an S-400 regiment could have between 56 and 84 individual missiles ready to launch if fully loaded.  Each battery has a command post, a 91N6 (Big Bird) S-band (2.3 gigahertz/GHz to 2.5GHz/2.7GHz to 3.7GHz) 324 nautical mile/nm (600 kilometre/km) range surveillance and tracking radar. The 91N6 is joined by a 96L6E (Cheese Board) C-band (5.25GHz to 5.925GHz) early warning and target acquisition radar. This radar has a range of up to 162nm (300km). A plethora of SAMs can be launched by the S-400 with an array of engagement ranges from 21.6nm (40km) using the active radar homing 9M96E missile. Engagement ranges can reach up to 216nm (400km) using the 40N6E missile which has a reported engagement altitude of 98,425 feet/ft (30,000 metres/m).

Legacy systems used by the RASF include the S-300PS (SA-10B Grumble-B) and S-300PM (SA-10D/E Grumble) which have subtle differences. An S-300PS battery has three Maz-543 launch vehicles each with four launch tubes. The battery is also equipped with a single 5N63S (Flap Lid-B) X-band (8.5GHz to 10.68GHz) fire control radar. An S-300PM battery has a single 36N6E (Flap Lid) X-band/Ku-band (13.4GHz to 14GHz/15.7GHz to 17.7GHz) fire control radar with a 162nm (300km) range. Joining the 36N6E is a 76N6 (Clam Shell) X-band (8.5GHz to 10.68GHz) search and track radar with a 70nm (120km) range. The rest of the battery is comprised of up to eight Kraz-260 launch vehicles each with four tubes. Both the S-300PS/PM are thought to deploy 48N6/E SAMs which have a reported 81nm (150km) range. The S-300PS/PM’s 5V55R missile has an engagement range of up to 48.6nm (90km).

Sources have shared with Armada that RASF SAM batteries are not routinely deployed but may deploy from time-to-time to support exercises or training. The batteries would only be deployed in anger to protect key strategic targets like those discussed above. The sources continued that the task of the SAM units is to provide a protective ‘bubble’ above these targets. Air defence coverage up to 54 nautical miles/nm (100 kilometres/km) altitude and a range radius of 189nm (350km) around the target would be provided. The SAM units would work to attrit any incoming air attack as much as possible. Russian air defence doctrine focuses on safeguarding as many strategic targets as possible in anticipation of an eventual counterattack.

One crucial part of the RASF’s SAM force is its 96K6 Pantsir-S1 (SA-22 Greyhound) combined medium-range SAM and anti-aircraft artillery systems. 96K6 units would deploy with S-300 and S-400 batteries. Their role would be to destroy air-launched weapons like anti-radiation missiles or attack helicopters engaging the batteries Armada’s sources added.

Over the longer term, the RASF is looking to introduce new SAM systems to enhance the strategic IADS in the form of the S-350E and S-500 Prometey long-range, high-altitude SAM systems. The S-350E is mooted as a replacement for the RASF’s S-300PS/PM batteries. Open sources state that a S-350E battery has one 50N6A X-band ground-based air surveillance radar with a range of 215nm (400km). The 50N6A is joined by a single 50K6A mobile command post and up to eight 50P6 launch vehicles. Each launch vehicle can fire 9M96/E or 9M100 SAMs with engagement ranges and altitudes of up to 65nm (120km) and 98,000ft (30,000m) respectively. It was reported in January 2020 that the first S-350E battery had entered service, although a developmental system may have been deployed to support Russia’s military presence in Syria. The VKS could receive twelve S-350E batteries by 2027.

The S-500 is mooted to have a longer engagement range than the S-350E. The S-500 ensemble includes a 91N6A(M) air surveillance and battle management radar. This radar is an enhanced version of the 91N6A radar accompanying the S-400. The S-500’s 96L6TSP target acquisition radar is an enhanced variant of the S-400’s 96L6E. These two systems are accompanied by the 76T6 multimode fire control radar, itself thought to be a derivative of the 92N6. Also forming part of the S-500 ensemble is the 77T6 anti-ballistic missile engagement radar the capabilities of which remain largely unknown in the public domain.

Open sources say that missiles equipping the S-500 could hit targets at ranges of up to 270nm (500km). Russian sources have claimed that the S-500 could engage targets at up to 656,168ft (200,000m) altitude. Russian media, seldom the most reliable source, claim that the first S-500 regiment went on combat duty in October 2021.

The long-term prognosis for the S-500 and S-350E systems remains uncertain. As documented by the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based thinktank, the Russian defence industry is dependent on clandestinely-sourced Western microelectronics for sophisticated weapons systems. Will Western efforts to clamp down on Russia’s access to such technology have an impact on the fortunes of the S-350E and S-500?

Stay tuned for more analysis on Russia’s strategic air defence capabilities in the next instalment of our Russian IADS Redux series.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.
