 Manage your Propane
Is your LPG system set up properly? Are you adding a BBQ or stove to your current configuration? Thanks to Trident Marine, we now have diagrams of "Best Practices for Propane Assemblies" online. Make sure your system is safe and efficient with the right hoses, fittings and solenoids; check out our Propane page! |
Keep the barnicles off your bottom!
 Antifouling is a popular topic - and a mystery for most of us! With so many types (Ablative, soluble copolymer, hard, high performance..) to choose from, it can be a little daunting to find the best product for your boat.Unravel the mystery by learning more on our Antifouling page.
Note: We'll be discussing the alternatives to antifouling next month! |

VSAT communications and Satellite TV
Why let those superyachties hog all the fun?! Even on a 30 foot sailboat in the middle of the ocean, you can receive relatively affordable high speed internet access or high definition television! Even if you're a minimalist, it's worthwhile to learn about the technology.
To learn about VSAT (internet on the high seas), check out the TracPhone v3.
