any one seen any new toys for boats that mite be worth knowing about,

ie wing mirrors,

reversing senors

auto avoidance GPS/radar

auto tea makers and deliverers.

No. But I reacon yachts should be fitted with indicators as standard.

 

[Jerbro]

Nope...but wouldn't it be cool if you could get a sort of 'traffic master' service on your plotter like in your car GPS. It could show floating debris (last reported sighting), queues at locks and bridges, packs of yachts/races, rogue waves and popular anchorage congestion.

 

[powerskipper]

but should they be red and green or amber like on cars.

 

[powerskipper]

now that would be cool.

They can't be amber flashing, that's reserved for hovercraft, or didn't you know? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

i think if we all used sails and not MOBOs we wouldent need such things!I think as a sailboat user on the MOBO forum haveing enjoyed a gin and tonic that mobos should be resricted to a maximum speed of 27 knots!!

Or to save oil not to use mre than 30 liters per hour!!

 

[powerskipper]

that mite be a problem for some with the top speed of 8 knots LOL

Similarly I can't see many people wanting to buy a Spaniard that can only helm going backwards /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I've got both wing mirrors and high intensity brake lights on mine. Honest!

The best accessory is a 17 year old swedish blue eyed blonde standing on your bow.

Bilge-Watch. Brilliant idea and easy to install!

 

[aztec]

not to mention breath with someone standing on your throat...
