Harken has teamed up with Marine Products Engineering to offer Harken Vang-Master rigid pneumatic mechanical vangs. That’s right, the Vang-Master uses air to provide the extension pressure that holds booms up—no need for fluid or hoses. And they offer unlimited adjustment without springs and their squeaks. Every Vang-Master is built of hardcote-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum. Tubing and end fittings thread together to eliminate fasteners and reduce corrosion caused by dissimilar metals. To help make the selection process easier, Harken Vang-Masters come in four cylinder diameters. There’s a menu of 120+ build lengths for everything from Moore 24s to Andrews 70s to get you close. But even stock one-designs can be slightly different. So compare the list with your own pin-to-pin measurement for the perfect fit. External purchase systems are sold separately and supplied with line specifically selected for its application, pre-measured and spliced with 100% Harken hardware. Harken distribution makes Vang-Master easy to obtain, while making sure technical support is readily available and there’s fast turnaround on spare parts. Is it time to replace that aging vang? It’s easier now. We’re pumped! Learn more: www.harken.com/en/shop/harken-vang-master/

Have you ever wondered why dolphins swim alongside boats? Here’s a few reasons: # 1: Curiosity and playful nature: Dolphins are renowned for their playful nature, and it appears that a significant portion of their behaviors is driven by sheer enjoyment. From darting through the water at remarkable speeds to engaging in acrobatic flips and jumps, these intelligent marine mammals often display behaviors that seem to be driven by the simple pleasure of the experience and interacting with us! #2: Speed and Efficiency: Dolphins often swim alongside large ships because the waves generated by these vessels enable them to swim faster. This occurs because the bow (front) of the ship pushes the water aside as the boat moves forward, creating a wave, or wake, in the water that dolphins can utilize to increase their swimming speed with minimal additional effort. #3 Food: Dolphins often see a boat full of people as an excellent opportunity for food. A fishing vessel with packed nets is also an excellent food source for a hungry dolphin. For hundreds of years, these mammals have been swimming beside ships, and it seems that they must have learned from experience that where there are humans, there is also a good chance of food. Also, smaller fish can get swept up by the boat waves which is the perfect little snack for dolphins! Book with Fury Catamarans for an opportunity to see these wonderful creatures in their natural habitat! . . . #furycozumel #furycatamarans #fury #cozumel #catamaran #sail #sailing #snorkeling #beach #beachday #elcielo #cruise #cruisevacation #caribbean #caribbeanvacation #vacation #travel #travelgram #lovetocruise #cruiseaddict #royalcaribbean #carnivalcruise #celebritycruise #norwegiancruise #msccruise #princesscruises #dolphins
