Textile technology has discovered some significant new developments since our last complete examination of waterproof coatings. Chemical substance engineers have indeed found brand new ways to impregnate fibers with coatings that can last through dozens of wash cycles. Despite all the advancements in material technology, we've yet to discover a waterproof, breathable component that doesn't call for some upkeep with time-- and ultimately breaks down. In Miami, during on-the-water testing of foul-weather gear we initially reported on in 2008, we could clearly see how sunlight, washing, and regular use took their toll on water-repellency in even our favorite foul-weather gear. hile, the water beaded like pearls on some of the lower-rated jackets th...

    Your Marine Performance Parts Experts Address the Need to Be Sleep Conscious While Traveling   Stainless Marine your marine performance parts  professionals would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding how to avoid sleep deprivation on long journeys.   Your marine performance parts dynamos know that sleep deprivation is inevitable on a long passage.       It is crucial to address this issue because decisions made by a tired crew have frequently been the cause of groundings, navigation errors or vessel failures.   To manage the deprivation part, we must understand what sleep represents.   WHAT IS SLEEP?   Sleep is a biological state that is caused by the discharge of specific neurons in certain parts of the brain. It involves an alternate cycle of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM).   Sleep affects almost every physiological and psychological process. The body has normal low cycles called circadian rhyt...
