Are you keen on navigation and you don’t know which present to ask your girlfriend for this year for your birthday? Or do you just wanna buy something useful for your boat? We’ve got a couple of ideas that can suit you!
When you travel on boat it is really important to know the direction of the wind, so as its strength. For this reason, the wind gauge to connect to your mobile cis probably a great present for yourself or your friend, if you don’t want to be surprised by the weather. In this case, one of the best is the Windoo 3 Skywatch: lits peculiarity is that it can give information not only on wind, but also on temperature and pressure. It is a really advanced technology at a moderate price, around € 100.
If your priority is comfort, there is an accessory you’ll find extremely useful: the quick hook for fenders. The technical name is Fastfender and it is an object you have to fork up the guardrails and rotate 90 degrees. The top is blocked by means of a restrictor, so that you can regulate the height of the fender as you prefer. How much? Really nothing! For a basic Fastfender you are gonna spend around € 15 and it is very convenient.
What about something “green”? There are flexible solar panels, to turn the sunlight into electricity you can comfortably use on boat.
Trouble with light? There is a really comfy lamp you can bring with you that starts when it touches water! This kind of lamp is made of a mechanism allowing the activation of a luminous flash as soon as the water closes the electrical circuit between the metal contacts of the lamp.
Do you know that red patina that ruins everything is made of stainless steel on board? How hateful and difficult to eliminate is it? Well, the solution is called Radiant. Maybe it’s not a cool present, but it is really useful for those who are passionate about navigation, because rust goes easily away, with not too much effort. Everybody likes a shining boat, mainly if you can keep it exempt from rust with an expense of about only € 20.
For the maniacs of safety, the web-yacht would be a great idea: this hyper technological accessory allows to check the boat from far away, even if you are not at the harbour. By downloading the dedicated app, you can check everything remotely with your mobile. You can even turn the fridge off, turn the lights on and in case of danger you will be notified by means. A true turning-point!
