Boat Trailer - 3 Effective Tips For Selecting The Right Accessories!

By Abhishek Agarwal


Hello and welcome to the world of boating and boat trailer accessories: it's a wide, wide world out there with many new and varied trimmings now available for boat owners looking to jazz up their beauties to make sailing adventures funky and functional at the same time. This craving for fun accessories that are transcend the boundaries of mere functionality to also provide a style quotient to the boat is the reason why are thinking beyond comfort in boat trailer accessories and going all out to buy tools they can take with them or just leave on board, in order to simplify life on the moving waters.

Among the many different kinds of boat trailer accessories one can buy is the part that ensures proper anchorage of the boat to the trailer unit; tie downs like the ratcheting hook and latch varieties are a popular trimming option often considered by boat owners looking for family or romantic fun as with more people aboard the boat trailer, accessories become more important.

1. These accessories are useful to stretch across and function as links behind your boat to ensure it stays attached to the trailer unit in case of a problem with breakage of other security device; besides this, owners can look at different kinds of pulleys that can help lift the boat up to the trailer and keep it out of the water. The advantage of such a winch is that this will lock itself in place as the first security measure for a boat that could have floated away if not supported by tie-downs.

2. Useful boat trailer accessories include those that help a boat owner to affix the vessel in case of a need to tow it ashore. The only precaution a boat owner needs to take when buying a hitch is to ensure compatibility of the parts to enable ease in hooking up to prevent anyone from stealing these. Rollers for transferring the boat (so it can slide on to a trailer bed) with minimal risk to the hull are another good idea.

3. For those boat owners looking to perform some necessary boat maintenance operations on the trailer, there are several trailer jacks that are useful for air up or replacing trailer tires and oiling of moving parts; these ensure boat trailers stay in top condition. Support devices for checking light and wiring on the trailer, storage options for seat fabric protectors, a dehumidifier to keep mildew at bay and scraps for basic fabric seat cover repairs are other accessory ideas you can consider.

Chains as good boat trailer accessories that secure the boat are a good choice as are tarpaulin covers for all weather protection for the boat, when not in use.

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.

The cutter is similar to a sloop with a single mast and mainsail, but generally carries the mast further aft to allow for the use of two headsails attached to two forestays, the head stay and the inner stay, which carry the jib and staysail respectively. This is rarely considered a racing configuration; however, it gives versatility to cruising boats, especially in high wind conditions, when a small jib can be flown from the inner stay.

Inflatable boats are the ideal yacht tender because of all their basic advantages including: lightness, stability and buoyancy. Unlike regular dinghies, they're easy to lift on board. With special rubstrake glued or thermobonded to their sides, inflatables won't damage or mark your yacht's hull or deck. Purchasing an inflatable tender almost guarantees the elimination of scuff marks and scratches on your yacht forever.

Solar Panel Life-span On Sailing Yachts?

Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:41:35 +0200
Just wondering how long some of you have had your solar panels? If you have noticed any degeneration in efficiency, and what brand you have? Also, if anyone can recommend a good book on solar power - drycell battery systems and energy consumption calculations (i.e. how many and what size panels are needed to power specific systems) it would be greatly appreciated.
