Tips About cat sailboat

If you are planning on buying a fishing boat then there are a wide variety of choices which depend on the type of fishing you are planning to do. If you require a boat to flyfish from in a resevoir or lake then the fisher range from MCA Boats may suit your needs. For sea fishing the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 625 or the Orkney range of boats with their more traditional shape could be considered. There are also larger boats like the Scanfisher. Larger seafishing boats are built with comfort in mind and therefore spacious outside areas and cockpits are provided along with well kitted out galleys and cabins.

If the Jetsons owned a yacht, it would probably look a lot like the Maltese Falcon. The prized possession of Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tom Perkins, the Maltese Falcon is like a sailing computer, equipped with fiber-optic networks, microprocessors and touch screens that have converted the brain and muscle of sailing into a computerized control panel. Now, the only manpower required to hoist and lower its 26,000 square feet of sails is a touch of a button. Likewise, the football-field-sized yacht completed in spring of 2006 is the most expensive and technologically advanced of its kind today. With a price tag hovering around $130 million, the Maltese Falcon navigates more like a video game than a 1,367-ton boat. But Perkins isn't stopping there. He's working on a sports submarine to house on the Maltese Falcon in case he ever wants to play with some whales or manatees deep in the ocean. Think of it as his version of a jet ski.

Water Treatment For Tanks On Yachts and Boats in general.

Tony Herrick from Cruising Connections asked whether this product was worth considering for the boating industry. The product is made in S Africa and is approved by the SA Burough of Standards and in use by the local Military amongst many other govt. and semi-govt. organizations and private groups. The retail cost for the water treatment would be in the region of about US$20 per 1,000 liters of water. The best for me is that this treatment is odourless and tasteless (Chlorine and bleach free). Please give your comments.
