During your cruise, unless you are a roadstead diehard, you should plan to spend some time moored in the various ports. Since you’re on vacation, equip yourself so that even your time on the dock is not without comfort: here are five products that will change your life on the dock!
CAPTIFI / RADIOLABS
Designed to solve the problem of WiFi coverage on the boat when docked in the harbor, Captifi is a small, compact and powerful repeater antenna that is fully powered via USB port. The antenna is waterproof and is also suitable for flush installation on deck. Price: 229 euros. www.nauticplace.com
FENDER 2 STEP / DAN-FENDER
The idea is as simple as it is brilliant. Denmark’s Dan-Fender discovered the egg of Columbus: why not take advantage of fenders as an aid to getting on and off the boat? This is the concept behind the Fender 2 Step: it is a PVC fender with a central hole and two side attachments that provide greater stability. www.fenderstep.com
LUXBOMA / BINDING UNION
Patented by Italy’s Binding Union, LuxBoma is a double cockpit light (the main white one and the courtesy red one) with LEDs: the special feature of this product is that it is not to be hung, but rather embedded in the groove of the boom. The light bodies are watertight according to the IP67 standard and made of anodized aluminum: they have a guaranteed life of 30 thousand hours. Price: 217.28 euros. www.webnautica.it
TAKU / CAFRAMO
Taku by Caframo is a rotating fan that attaches to hatches through suction cups and is powered directly from the boat’s batteries. Great for use in port on windless, sunny days when below deck the temperature becomes unbearable. Its capacity is 14 cubic meters per minute-you can reciprocate the air of a 12-meter boat in just 10 minutes. Price: 264 euros. www.mazzeonautica.it
FIBERGLASS WALKWAY / CARBONAUTICS
Slovenia-based Carbonautica specializes in the production of fiberglass and carbon fiber equipment: its catwalks have the advantage of weighing very little (this one pictured weighs 8.2 kg) and being very strong, with load capacities of 400 kilos (according to the company’s certificates, underestimated for safety). 230 cm long and 40 cm wide this type of folding walkway lends itself easily to stowage and has accommodations for mounting a handrail system. Price: 1,462.78 euros. www.nauticplace.com
