⛵🪝🪨 "Sailing past forgotten stories carved in rust and tide..." As the sailboat drifts by a ghostly shipwreck, time stands still — seabirds circle, the past lingers, and the sea whispers its secrets. #ShipwreckMystery #SailingHistory #GhostsOfTheSea #RustAndWaves #ForgottenVessel #OceanLegends #SailingPastTime #HistoricWaters

The pocket puller is one of our most popular accessories for anyone who wants to pull recreational crab pots from our rowing & sailing dinghies! Here's a quick video demonstration of how it works. 1) Insert the pot puller into the oarlock 2) Thread your line over the pulley 3) Pull! You can cleat the line to hold it in place any time you need a break. Easy peasy! We love this because it not only protects the gunwale, but makes pulling easier on your back, too. This is an especially great investment to make if you've got wood trim on your boat, since it keeps the wet line from rubbing against the wood finish. P.S. Sorry no crab in the pot. Crabbing season was closed when we filmed this so we had to keep our bait box empty! ;)

We have been struggling to sort out the battery power for the electric motor as part of our fully electric boat refit. Except for diesel heating for a British winter, we are going to be Fossil Fuel free. These Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries from Fogstar are the game changer for us. They are the Drift PRO 24V 280Ah LiFePO4 Leisure Battery (Gen2), a new product release that gives us 24Volt, 285Ah and able to deliver 300A. With four of them, we can provide our electric motor with the 48V and 600A it needs. This is an essential step towards finishing our huge refit so we can launch our 1977 Rival 38 Centre Cockpit ketch ASAP. Disclaimer: We are Brand Ambassadors for Fogstar and can earn commission from referrals and get a discount. They do not have any editorial input or approval. We reached out to them because they were highly recommended by friends and because of the unique set of features that made these by far the best solution we could find for our needs. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).

The new Volvo Penta Forward Drive is an all new drive system, which mates a forward-facing propeller (like those on IPS pod drives) with a stern drive unit. The idea is to bury the props way, way forward of the transom, so stern drive boats can be used for wake surfing - without anyone worrying about falling into the spinning propellers. Plus, the Forward Drive system helps the boats produce a cleaner, crisper wake for watersports enthusiasts. But don't take my word for it - watch the video that boats.com reviewer Charles Plueddeman filmed at the Miami boat show, and see for yourself.
