Six accessories to have on board to better navigate

Sailing better and safer is a priority for every sailor, and in 2025 choosing the right accessories can make all the difference. With targeted equipment, we can optimize performance and improve ease of use on board, making every maneuver smoother and every movement more comfortable. Among the must-haves, the new high-strength, lightweight lines ensure efficiency and durability (and are increasingly “environmentally friendly”); carbon rudders, then, offer a unique sensitivity at sea, while practical tools such as multi-purpose knives and state-of-the-art winders allow us to meet every challenge with agility. Let’s look at six accessories, including essentials and novelties, ideal for those who want to raise the bar at sea.
