More Information On dinghy sailboat

Yamaha boats are much lighter than comparable stern drives. In some cases the weight difference can near 2,000 pounds, giving Yamaha boats an overwhelming power to weight advantage. Less drag in the water allows the engines to operate more effectively. Less weight also makes them easier and more efficient to tow behind a wider variety of vehicles.

South African crew wanted for Clipper 07-08

Sun, 29 Apr 2007 14:52:59 +0200
South African crew wanted for Clipper 07-08 to defend national pride! Durban Clipper will be competing again in the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race when it sets off from Liverpool, UK, on 16 September this year. This will be the second time Durban Clipper has taken part in the race – having finished on the podium in a very creditable second place in Clipper 05-06. With the exception of the skippers, none of the crews are professional sailors and many of those taking part have never sailed before beginning their comprehensive race training. It is not too late for people from South Africa to sign up to take part in this 35,000-mile ocean race. Durban Clipper was narrowly beaten to second place on her first outing by westernaustralia.com Clipper, so there is a great deal of Southern Hemisphere pride to play for!

Get Low-Cost, High Quality Boats From Used Boat Sales

By Andrew Roberts


Purchasing a boat can be a very expensive preposition if you are looking for a brand new boat. The level of investment needed for such a purchase could be beyond the reach of a lot of families in the middle income group. But fulfilling your dream is possible if you could purchase your favourite boat from brokers that deal with used boat sales.

Boats are the ultimate place for spending the much needed vacation with your family for those with a love of the sea. Used boat sales brokers offer boats that are fitted with most of the amenities that are needed in a boat that is used for spending your vacation. This is a major advantage as many new boats will be ill equipped for sailing straight away. So, if you are buying a new boat, you have the extra investment to purchase all these amenities and essentials as well.

The popularity of used boat sales is increasing swiftly and there are many centres and stores that offer this service to the customers. Some of the centres are also involved in repossessed boat sales, which is reselling of boats impounded by government authorities or financial institutions for reasons like non payment of financial dues. Centres that specialise in repossessed boat sale get impounded boats from financial institutions at nominal costs and resell the same at some margin of profit.

If you have decided to buy your boat from a used boat sales centre then make sure that the centre that you approach is a reliable and trustworthy source to buy from. Also make sure that the boat is not having any outstanding debt on it. Get maximum information about the maintenance cost of the boat and about the legal procedures that are needed for the transfer of ownership.

Hints About 40 sailboat

Speedboats or powerboats are normally streamlined boats with very powerful engines in them. They range in size from the small Zapcats which were originally designed from surf rescue crafts in South Africa, and although they are only powered by a 50 horsepower engine they can go very fast reaching speeds of 50mph, as they are very light. They are relatively inexpensive and because they are inflatable they can be set up and packed away easily. Seadoo Sportsters are another attractively priced option at around �20000

For many years all inflatables were made of Neoprene/Hypalon (or rubber) materials. Today modern materials and construction processes have made it possible to make inflatables out of strong plastic materials called PVC or Strongan (Zodiac's fabric). So, today most inflatables are made out of PVC or Hypalon. Each fabric is different and requires different fabric and glue for repairs.


A boatyard tends to be used by people who wish to refit or repair their boat whilst it is not on the water. They can also be used in some cases for winter storage if your boat has been on a swinging mooring in the summer. Many boatyards have their own workshops and will carry out repairs on your behalf. Facilities may not be as good as those in a marina, although with a greater provision for residential moorings the standard won't be bad.

Buying a Jet Ski - The Must Know Tips

By Al Wood


Buying a jet ski is a big investment. Far too many people go into the process of buying a jet ski without any real idea of what they are doing. This puts you at a big disadvantage as the dealer will have a huge knowledge advantage over you. Far too many people are complacent about this and believe that the dealer has your best interests at heart. This is not the case. They will not necessarily give you the best advice but that which suits them best. As a result, you may end up paying over the odds for a jet ski that doesn't fit your needs. Needless to say, this is not the outcome you want.

So how do you avoid this situation? By arming yourself with all the details necessary to make an informed decision.

Research Your Jet Ski Buying Decision

Just a few years ago, it would be very difficult for all but an expert to be able to access a huge vault of jet ski knowledge. In order to compare the specifications of various jet skis, you would have to visit many dealers and ask careful questions. Search carefully through catalogues and compare statistics.

Luckily, the job of research is much easier now a days. Today, all that is required is internet access. This makes sourcing the data on various jet skis and seeing how they compare an absolute breeze. Be sure to arm yourself with these statistics before you go out on your jet ski buying trip.

Buying Second Hand

Buying second hand is a great way to pick up a high quality personal water craft at a bargain price. It is often said that the value of a new car depreciates the minute you drive it off the lot. The same thing could be said of jet skis (except, of course, you won't be driving it off the lot). New jet skis lose their value very quickly.

If you are willing to buy a used jet ski, this is a great advantage. However, there are dangers too. If at all possible, take someone with you who has experience with jet skis. Their knowledge will be invaluable when it comes to assessing whether a PWC is sea worthy. And if it isn't, how much it will cost to get it into shape.

Don't Be Afraid To Haggle

Most jet ski dealers will have some room for maneuver when it comes to the price at which they sell a particular jet ski. Don't be afraid to step up and fight for the best deal when you buy. The dealer certainly won't be shy when it comes to striking up a deal and neither should you.

To get the most out of your purchase, it is vital that you get yourself in the right frame of mind. You have to know what you want, how much you expect to pay and what you are willing to accept. For any jet ski novice, this is a very tall order. But with a little bit of research and thought, you might just walk away with the bargain jet ski of your dreams.

More Info On speed boat

Your boat�s seaworthiness can depend on the load you put in it and where you put it. Too much weight can overload your boat and cause it to become unstable or allow small waves to come aboard. It will also reduce the amount your boat can roll before its sides dip under. Weight that is carried too high will reduce stability, making your boat more apt to roll and less inclined to return to an upright position

The reason for using an agent is time - we are undertaking a delivery and the quicker we can get through the canal the better. I used Stanley Scott and he is kept updated as to the date and time of our arrival in Colon.

Most modern monohull boats have fin keels, which are heavy and deep, but short in relation to the hull length. More traditional yachts carried a full keel which is generally half or more of the length of the boat. A recent feature is a winged keel, which is short and shallow, but carries a lot of weight in two "wings" which run sideways from the main part of the keel. Even more recent is the concept of canting keels, designed to move the weight at the bottom of a sailboat to the upwind side, allowing the boat to carry more sails.

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.


Most jet boats look and perform like bowriders with spacious seating in front and back and a swim platform. Builders promote a propulsion system almost completely enclosed inside the hull, reducing the risk of damage from impact with obstacles or the bottom. They are fast, maneuverable, offering an exciting ride and a fun tubing platform.
