FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO MOOR EASY…
With the Handy Duck kit, mooring is a breeze: the system consists of a mooring hook (available for line diameters up to 22 or 33 mm) and a ferrule that attaches to 25 mm rods. It works like a traditional half-mariner, but can also be released when under load. You will be able to dock and release any mooring point. Starting at 51.38 euros. You can find it HERE
THE COMPACT AND “EASY” VHF
Cobra Marine’s HH125 VHF radio is designed for those on board who need a device with compact dimensions but without sacrificing the latest technology. Equipped with Roger Beep (the system that eliminates the need to say “over” during conversations) and a large display, it has buttons dedicated to specific functions for ease of use. Price: 89 euros. You can find it HERE
THE DRIFT THAT… GOES THE EXTRA MILE
Aquaglide’s Multisport 270 is a fun dinghy that is a champion in pliability: in fact, it transforms from a sailboat to a windsurfer or kayak in a matter of minutes, and it also delivers excitement when towing your boat. It sails safely at up to 18 knots of air, has a hull that makes it very stable (so ideal for novices), and the inflatable hull can be stowed in a convenient bag (designed so that it can also be accepted as airline luggage) in less than 10 minutes. Price: 980 euros. You can find it HERE
THE BLUETOOTH SPEAKER FOR “ROCK” SAILORS
MRBT200 is a waterproof speaker designed by Boss Marine that connects via Bluetooth with your smartphone and allows you to listen to your music in good audio quality. The compact case features hands-free functionality and houses a lithium battery inside (8 hours of battery life) that recharges via micro USB connector. It also comes with a handy carabiner that facilitates its portability by being convenient for attachment on board. Price: 89 euros. You can find it HERE
WARM FEET, CLEAR MIND
Shield Mid and Hi are the innovative overboots produced by Lizard. Waterproof and breathable, they keep feet dry and warm even in the most adverse conditions. The former reaches to mid-calf, while the latter covers the entire calf. Lightweight and thin, you can wear them over socks, or even in tight-fitting shoes, given their minimal bulk. The anatomical insoles are lined with genuine leather and allow the toes to spread in the most natural position. Starting at 39 euros. You can find them HERE
