Guys, I've used Stugeron a lot and highly recommend it to all my crew when we go offshore. I take it for the first 36 hours or so at sea and then that will be it for the trip (that's just me though. I tend not to get seasick) The only time I've had seasick crew is when one guy didn't take it.

Just check out the intensity (lumens) and get really bright ones that also have low intensity and of course red. I haven't sailed the Southern Ocean, but I've done a lot in the Atlantic and Caribbean and I still haven't found a headlamp (including Petzl) that can stand up to the salty goodness tha

Far be it for me to defend the Homeland Security bureaucracy and the fact that they have very different clearance procedures depending where in the US you clear in, and very rarely do the procedures agree with what's posted on their website.

Yeah, the life raft is a big nut and one where you hope you never get your money's worth from it. I recertified my 6 man raft in 2014 and it was about $1100. Unless you are going to do a bunch of offshore sailing, a rental may work out better. Cheers Colin On Jan 8, 2015 1:38 PM, "David Paine

I'm late to the conversation but I have 8 golf cart batteries that gives me 900ah at 12 volts. Has worked well for me since 2009 and is cheaper per ah per year than anything else I could find. You just need to find enough space for them as they are tall. Cheers Colin On Dec 14, 2014 10:05 PM,

Just because charts are digital doesn't mean they are accurate. Many digital charts are based on soundings that may literally be hundreds of years old and would certainly predate GPS. I was in Panama this summer and my Navionics gold charts would have had me drive over a bunch of reefs if I had l

I won't be sad to see West go. Their prices were good when they came in, but I find them too expensive. I have one within walking distance of my office, but I'd prefer to go just about anywhere else. I'm guessing most other Canadian boaters are the same Hence they head back home. Buh bye

There are always boats looking for race crew here, but if you're not in the network of sailors it can be hard to get started. If he has any sailing connections he should leverage them. If not, print up a flyer and post it at all the chandlers and yacht clubs in town. They all have bulletin board
