Re: Stus-List Handheld VHF with GPS and DSC
Dennis, You got me thinking about the HX870 too. Found a review that shows worthwhile improvements over the 851: bigger screen, better button interface: http://www.panbo.com/archives/2014/11/standard_horizon_hx870_handheld_vhfgpsdsc_powerhouse.html I'm curious about the feature where the unit tracks other DSC group members? This would be a really nice feature to have for racers especially solo racers, in case they need to assist someone in trouble. If this works, I expect there will be many brands copying this good idea and RCs will require it in future?

Now you started something. I was perfectly happy with my handheld VHF until you got me looking at the new ones. Mentioned it to the Admiral. She kinda likes the idea. We started asking ourselves why we would need a handheld VHF with GPS and DSC. We have DSC, AIS, all that stuff in the fixed unit. The only time we use the handheld is in the dinghy. We came up with a few justifications for the upgrade. Like: * a health emergency while we were in the dinghy * attaching it to a throwable and tossing it to a MOB * keeping it clipped on the bowman in case he (me) goes overboard * we can sell the old one on eBay * we just want one C'mon listers, why else would we pop for a new handheld VHF? FYI, I'd probably buy the Standard Horizon HX870 for $210. Dennis C.

Re: Stus-List Handheld VHF with DSC - Defender sale tip
When making a list for the Defender sale, always check for manufacturers rebates on the items you are going to purchase. Make sure that you aren't losing a $30 rebate by waiting for Defender to lower the price by $20. Sometimes you get lucky and can combine a sale price AND a rebate.

Stus-List New searchlight for the boat
After a lot of research and querying the list, I finally bought a new searchlight for Touche'. I bought this one: http://store.marinebeam.com/marinebeam-ultra-long-range-cree-rlt-illuminator/ It is pretty darn phenomenal. After using a pistol grip Q-beam style light for years, it will take some getting used to. This light is a bit bigger and heavier than a MagLite 2 D cell flashlight. The MarineBeam has 3 D cells. The biggest difference is the narrow beam. They claim it has very little spillover light to reflect off lifelines, deck, shrouds, bimini frames, etc. I certainly remember having to hold the old searchlight outside the lifelines in order to prevent being blinded by reflected light. When pointed forward, the Q-beam did, indeed, generate night vision destroying reflected light from deck, shrouds, etc. While I haven't tried it on the boat yet, a quick test in the neighborhood showed very positive results. It VERY clearly illuminated a stop sign 300 yards away. The beam was, indeed, very narrow. (Fortunately, my neighborhood is fairly peaceful. There are neighborhoods where I wouldn't do this.) At first I was concerned about finding buoys and day beacons with such a narrow beam but when I thought about it, it shouldn't be a problem. Most reflectors on marks are 2-10 feet or so above the water, a fairly small area to search. Dennis C.

Curtis, They really aren't hard to make. Just need to get some full 4/4ths teak. Mark out the loops. Use a hole saw of a radius that matches the curve if the loops and drill holes.

Re: Stus-List New searchlight for the boat
Thanks Dennis, I also started using cheap camper's headlamps for night and stopped using my Q-beam. It is amazing how well a small LED light can reflect off of markers in the dark. I keep at least three of these things aboard, all small, cheap but reliable. The batteries last a season. Gave one to friend when we got caught out after dark, after a fireworks display raftup. He we was very grateful and bought more for work and his car. Handsfree, they now come with switchable white, or red LEDs and I use em for a thousand tasks. I save the Q-Beam for a rescue signal device.

Stus-List Marvel Mystery Oil
Okay, I've had it. This is the second time. I've noticed over the last many years that plastic bottles here in Mexico tend to bereally thin. A few years ago a bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil exploded in my cockpit, but at that time it was on the sole and made a huge mess on the ocean. Today another bottle exploded on me when I tried to open it. It was just a result of cheap plastic packaging. My entire cockpit, including myself and the swimming trunks that I wear, are covered in Marvel Mystery Oil. I'm at anchor, so this is a big deal. Eff this stuff.
