Boat Accessories - The Cool Way To Dress Up Your Boat
By David Faulkner
Initially, we would think that the boat accessories industry does not carve a significant niche in the consumer market. How many people would actually own boats? Or how many of these people would spend good money dressing up their boats, for that matter? In reality, however, boat accessories are as fashionable as bags or apparel. There are boat accessories for different types of boats, and at reasonable prices, too.
There are a variety of boat accessories ranging from technical products such as tie downs, navigation lights, and pumps to electronic ones such as radar systems, radios, and lights. You will also find functional items such as seats, covers, and ladders. Not to be missed are the motor parts with the corresponding lubes.
Another category in the boat accessories market would include pedestals, fasteners, winches and jacks, spark plugs and starters, flooring and other internal setting items, tires and couplers, gauges, flotation aids and devices, anchors and rod holders, till and trim auxiliary materials, and fenders and dock lines.
Jackets, mooring equipment, heaters and lights, buoys, paddles, lifts, and hoists make up the precautionary products of boat accessories. Boat accessories that cater to the 'lighter side' of boating life consist of barbecues, grills, and swim decks with showers.
A boat owner may find a difficult time in deciding on what boat accessories to purchase, as there are a great many selections to choose from. Anchors, for instance, may be resistant, powder-coated contraptions available in different shapes and weights. These can be accessorized by anchor spool lines, anchor chains, spools, and nylon ropes. The anchors are made to be tolerant to fresh water, sea water, or both.
Protective covering for boats can also be equipped with boat accessories such as steel, aluminum, or tie-down support poles. Cover materials may be made of canvas suitable to every kind of boat.
Boat accessories for docking are comprised of vinyl or plyfoam fenders, sturdy corner bumpers, and protective mats for the hull.
In summary, boat accessories have proven to be a booming industry. They are the answer to many a boat owner�s requirements. The products are easily obtainable in your local stores or via online purchasing.

A major component of an inflatable boat is obviously the fabric. Inflatable boat fabric technology has evolved greatly over the last 20 to 30 years, and now includes plastomers, polyurethanes and other fabrics, which can sometimes be stronger, lighter, thinner and less expensive to assemble than the original rubber fabrics. Of course it costs a great deal of money to develop new fabrics or even to switch manufacturing processes to use them. Many manufacturers, big and small, don't have the will or the resources to do this, and that's why they generally hide that fact by resorting to condemning new technological advances in fabrics.
Luxury sailing yachts generally 82 ft or longer, in recent years, these yachts have evolved from fairly simple vessels with basic accommodation into sophisticated and luxurious boats. This is largely due to reduced hull-building costs brought about by the introduction of fibreglass hulls, and increased automation and "production line" techniques for yacht building, especially in Europe.

Ciguatera, A Danger For Yacht Crews Sailing In The Tropics
Sun, 16 Sep 2007 12:09:24 +0200
When catching dinner, how concerned are cruisers and sailors about catching fish which carry the Ciguatera toxin? I only know what amounts to 'folklore'. In Australian waters many anglers avoid eating large fish which are known to dwell amid coral reefs. The parrot fish (beautiful fillets!!) is known to be particularly prone to Ciguatera. I understand that fish caught in deep water, or away from coral, do not carry Ciguatera. Is this correct?

What if you come upon a boatload of refugees while cruising?
Sun, 15 Jul 2007 15:53:52 +0200
So, you're sailing along happily on your 40' yacht (just you and your wife), some 200 miles from the nearest landfall and you see a boat ahead. As you get closer you notice that the vessel is lying very low in the water and the people aboard are waving their arms frantically. As you approach you see that the vessel is very close to sinking and there are about 20 men aboard - obviously a boatload of refugees. It appears that the boat is going down fast.

Sailing/cruising To Achieve One's Goals.
Sun, 19 Aug 2007 16:55:16 +0200
After reading Liz Clark's sailing blog, my husband and I started talking about what was so refreshing about it (besides the good grammar and pics!). Well, the thing that jumped out was the fact that this cruiser wasn't identifying herself as a cruiser but instead as a surfer-girl. Her outlook on life, her goals, where she's going and what she's doing doesn't simply focus on "cruising" for the sake of cruising. We realized that we were craving another viewpoint like this. We absolutely love to hear about people who are achieving another life goal where sailing/cruising happens to be a conduit to the achievement. What do you all think?
