Built with redundancy in mind, the Cape Horn 82' Trideck Expedition Yacht was designed to withstand the most grueling passages. A heavy gauge, double-planked steel hull is utilized to ensure safety in the shallows, while adding to the displaced weight beneath the waterline. This results in increased ballast and greater sea-keeping stability. To offset the weight of Cape Horn's hull, the superstructure is constructed from aluminum, which helps aids in reducing roll momentum.
Sea keeping stability on this yacht is also a by-product of a hard chine with active & passive bilge keel stabilization. A bulb is incorporated to add sub-surface length, which helps reduce pitching and its large expedition bow helps disperse spray in North Sea conditions. This provides excellent heavy weather capability and a seakindly motion that helps keep a land-lovers lunch down...

The Foretrex™ 201 is a wearable Personal Navigator™, perfect for outdoor and marine enthusiasts who desire hands-free GPS navigation in a lightweight, affordable package. At a mere 2.75 ounces, this waterproof wonder is lighter than most watches, and its wrist-top mount frees up hands for outdoor activities. Sporting an ergonomic wristband, the Foretrex 201 is similar in design to the Forerunner 201, yet is chocked full of GPS navigation features found in Garmin's popular Geko 201 unit.
With a user-friendly interface, the rugged Foretrex 201 simplifies navigation. Its six dedicated buttons (GoTo, Page, Enter/Mark, Up, Down and Power) make it easy to operate. It offers the most essential navigation data — enhanced GPS accuracy, extensive storage for waypoints, and reversible routes and tracks — on an easy-to-read display. Don't worry about packing extra batteries, because the Foretrex 201 runs on an internal lithium battery for 15 hours (typical use). Simply recharge and go...

The Dock A Reni is an innovative yet simple plastic finger that attaches to your existing boat pole with Elastic Velcro and makes docking easy, safe and secure. By Placing the line over the end of the boat hook and then under the Dock A Reni a loop is formed which can easily be placed over a piling or a cleat.

ColorLight was founded around the development of the ColorLight marine searchlight family. It is a totally new technological concept for professional marine applications such as: Navigation/Maneuvering, Search and Rescue, Oil Spill Detection and Helicopter landing. Since start 1996 the ColorLight models have entered onboard about 20 various types of vessels sailing around the globe and the concept is respected by mariners.
The white light performance is outstanding in distance, light value and light beam area. The entire unit swivels up/down and back/forth via a remote control.
The UV-light (blacklight) adds extraordinary valuable features in poor visibility conditions as darkness, fog, rain and snow. Flourescent coated markers, life preservers and other objects can be identified at much greater range in these conditions than traditional white light. In addition, the "blacklight" emits a "beam" that can focus on one object at a great distance...

FloatRail is an interesting method to protect boats from sinking. It is installed inside a small rail just above the water line or hidden in a recess of the hull during boat manufacture.
The complete system is fully patented. It is manufactured from marine grade materials of modular design with scalable architecture. The system is activated manually or automatically. A patented automatic float switch is installed inside the hull. When a boat takes on water and it reaches a preset level, the hydrostatic pressure of the water trips the mechanical valve, which automatically deploys the system.
The FloatRail electronic control system supplements the basic automatic mechanical system. The electronic control system provides self-diagnostics for reliability assurance. It also allows for multiple and redundant sensors and early warnings...
