Keep Your Boat in Great Condition Longer Raritan Engineering Company your  TruDesign  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding future alternative boat fuels powering your success. Your TruDesign professionals talk about how many boats use small lashing to tighten and finish off their lifelines. Don’t depend on the small 1/8” stainless loop welded on the pulpit. Instead, run the small lashing through the small stainless loop and then around the entire leg of the pulpit.  For example, a broken outhaul can ruin a race. But you can be prepared for this with a few simple ideas. On small boat such as the Melges 24, I install a small ‘V’ cleat at the back of the boom on one side and drill a small hole on the other side.  If you have a loose-footed main, you attach the mainsheet blocks using lashing or loops that go completely around the boom rather than just through an ...

Great Ways to Keep Yourself Out of Trouble While Sailing Raritan Engineering Company your  seacocks  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding how to sail yourself out of big trouble.  Pinwheel Avoidance Your seacocks manufacturers talk about how this one’s a classic: If you’re the outside boat of a group approaching the leeward mark and blindly carry on with pace, you’ll sail extra distance in bad air, carry wide around the mark, and then exit in a terrible lane.  Once you’ve slowed, let the pinwheel unfold, and watch as the boats swinging around the outside become pinned and stuck in bad air. These boats had room on you, but because they are now pinned wide from the mark, they can no longer make a tight ­rounding and close you out. One cautionary note: When slowing down and waiting for your opportunity to round inside, there might be boats coming up from behind wi...

Why It Might Be Good to Get a Captain's License   Raritan Engineering Company your  TruDesign  specialists would like to share with you these topics we thought would be of interest to you this month regarding how time spent on the water doesn't always translate into safe boating.  Your TruDesign professionals discuss how as a professional sailor, coach and instructor of captain’s courses, I work with sailors of all levels of experience. I have come to notice that many of them have no professional certifications from recognized organizations like the US Coast Guard or Royal Yachting Association. Reasons range from “I don’t have time” to “I don’t see the point, I already have the job,” and even “I already know everything in those courses, I have sailed 50,000 miles since I was a kid.” Time on the water does not necessarily translate into safe boating behavior. That is why I believe that all coaches and professional sailors, that is, hired mariners, should ...

Your TruDesign suppliers talk about how for my style of inshore fishing, in my coastal Georgia location and for my 22-foot bay boat, I need some specific sonar capabilities.

Sean Gill map out structure to better target species such as cobia, which orient differently on each tide. Furuno pro staffer Capt.
