The Panerai British Classic Week which is part of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge is the other big sailing event that International eXcellence Magazine never misses. It is the classic yacht event of the year and takes place on the Solent in Cowes. Though true aficionados follow it in every gorgeous location all over the world: Antigua, Antibes, Argentina, Napoli, Nantucket, Barcelona, Newport and Cannes.

The two big sailing events in British waters this summer are undoubtedly the Extreme sailing Series with the Extreme 40 Catamarans and the Panerai British Classic Week, part of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge.
Both very different races but with many things in common, they engender great passion from the participants and, unusual for sailing events, are exhilarating, exciting and fun for all to enjoy.

Discover excellence off the beaten track in Moravia and Silesia, the little known regions of the Czech Republic.
International eXcellence Magazine went off in search of something different in the Czech Republic, looking for adventure, mountains, history and landscapes. Ryan Air have now started flying direct to Ostrava so it's a quick and easy, if spectacularly uncomfortable  jaunt over Western Europe (it takes skill to make a seat that badly, or is there some deal going on between Chiropracters and Ryan Air we don’t know about!).

Tor is a brilliant browser that keeps your information safe. It means that shopping sites and search engines will not personalise their content to you for their benefit. It means that your location and browsing habits are not being collated and sold on to Amazon and other shops for product targeting.

Daan Roosegaarde from Capetown has designed a dress that combines technology with social fashion.
A dress that becomes transparent when the wearer gets excited.
The idea itself is pretty exciting, though woe betide the man's feelings if the dress stays completely opaque.
"Darling, aren't you pleased to see me?".
"Yes, it's just I have my pacemaker turned down to keep the excitement from wearing the battery out!".

The new Micro 3D printer promises to retail at $349 and brings affordable precision 3D printing to your desktop.
How quickly technology now improves and falls in price! Last year these machines were $2000 minimum.
Just plug in the printer to your laptop and create pretty much any model you can think of. Boasting Micro Motion Technology for precision printing every time and funky consumer orientated colour schemes.
Design your next product, bring your great idea to life or simply amaze the children for fun.

This is what happens when our technology gets to the point that almost any idea can be realised.
You can imagine these two tech lovers sitting over a beer somewhere.
“I know!! How about a ball that you throw in the air and it takes a complete 360 panoramic picture ready when you catch it?”
“I think I could make that actually”
“Really, I was just kidding.”
“No, it’s quite doable actually”
“OK”
