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.

Sat, 18 Aug 2007 14:04:16 +0200
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.

Inflatable boats are said to be the safest and most stable boats in the world now with the patented construction methods, technology used and the innovative designs allowing redundant safety systems to be in place (ie. multiple chambers in the tubeset in case 1 gets punctured, other still stay inflated). Because of their safety reputation, inflatable boats are now essentially the standard for use by the military, coast guard and other rescue agencies worldwide.


Small vessels (whether pleasure or non-pleasure craft) that operate in Canada must be built according to the Construction Standards for Small Vessels TP 1332E. Pleasure craft built to these standards are issued Canadian compliance labels. If you are selling, building or importing a pleasure craft, you must ensure it meets the appropriate requirements.

Sailing Yacht's Propeller Energy Conversion?

Fri, 8 Jun 2007 18:03:13 +0200
I was just reading the thread on sailing yacht propellers and was wondering if anybody has ever used their propeller to generate electricity while under sail. Seems like it would be easy enough... just install a gear on the shaft and connect it to some form of small turbine.... I would think this could be a pretty efficient way to charge batteries, etc., while under sail but I've never heard anyone comment on it.

Learning New Skills In Boating School

By Michelle Bery
Michelle BeryMichelle is bona fide professional blogger. If you're aiming for six figure online profits then you NEED her fun advice! ...


What we don�t know, we learn. This is the premise of the academic world in which we received our primary education in reading, writing, and mathematics � along with a host of far fancier subjects down the road. So when it comes to learning what we need to know about a hobby or sport in which we�re interested, it stands to reason that a school would offer the necessary fundamentals in order to safety and skillfully enjoy ourselves. In the case of boating � an exhilarating activity that also requires a vast amount of skill - boating school can arm you with the tools you need to safely and adeptly navigate the waters.

Obviously the most important use for boating school is learning the intricacies of driving a boat � or sailing for sail boat owners. Just like driving an automobile, boating requires skill, concentration, and an eye towards safety at all times. A reputable boating school will offer thorough classroom education followed by a series of in-boat lessons that will give you the lay of the land when it comes to the operation of a boat.

Included in the operation of a boat � and a part of the lessons learned in boating school � is the importance of navigation whether by instrument or by sight. GPS is a fantastic navigational tool and boat operators should be well-versed in operating it. But if your GPS system malfunctions it is important to know how to find your way on your own.

Just as important as learning how to operate a boat is learning how to be safe while operating it. A boating school � as part of its curriculum � will teach the vigilance for safety that is necessary on board a boat. You will learn how to deal with everything from relatively minor mishaps such as sunburn and on-board scrapes and bruises to more serious safety measures such as rescue training and CPR preparedness.

Boating can be a wonderful activity enjoyed by the whole family; but in order to boat responsibly you must boat safely; attending a boating school is a must before heading out to sea.

Hints On sailboat review

Sailing yachts can range in overall length (Length Over All�LOA, in yachting parlance) from about 20 feet (6 m) to well over 100 feet (30 m), where the distinction between a yacht and a ship becomes blurred. However, most privately owned yachts fall in the range of about 25�45 feet (7�14 m); the cost of building and keeping a yacht rises quickly as length increases. In the U.S., sailors tend to refer to smaller yachts as sailboats, while referring to the general sport of sailing as yachting. Within the limited context of sailboat racing, a yacht is any sailing vessel taking part in a race, regardless of size.
