One of the key features that we seldomly talk about with leopard Catamarans are their sacrificial keels. ? The sacrificial keels on Robertson & Caines' Leopard range of Catamarans is a unique feature going back to the early days of leopard Catamarans. ? The keels are designed to sheer off in the event of a collision or hard grounding, ensuring the integrity of the hull is not compromised and a far more streamlined repair process compared to some of the other builders out there. If you have any other questions on Leopard Catamarans or any other catamaran for sale please don't hesitate to reach out. Info@CatamaranCentral.com Www.CatamaranCentral.com 754 778 SAIL

Literally the worst product you can use on your boat is 3M's 5200. It is such a powerful adhesive/bedding compound that it is almost impossible to remove hardware that has been bedded down with 5200. If you have 5200 on your boat please throw it all away, and replace it with 3M 4200 or a comprable Sikaflex product like Sika 291.

One of the most intimidating things for sailors and boaters pulling into Fort Lauderdale for the first time is dealing with the network of opening bridges on the Intracoastal Waterway. In Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas on the ICW the bridges open on a schedule with a request over the VHF radio. They monitor channel 9, and open every thirty minutes upon request. Heading north from Port Everglades to Hillsboro Inlet here is the list of bridges and their opening schedule: 17th Street Cause Way - On the hour or half-hour Las Olas Bridge - Quarter or three-quarter hour Sunrise Bridge - On the hour or half-hour Oakland Park Bridge - Quarter or three-quarter hour Commercial Bridge - On the hour or half-hour Atlantic Bridge - Quarter or three-quarter hour NE 14th St Bridge - Quarter or three-quarter hour Hillsboro Inlet Bridge - On the hour or half-hour For more information on anything boating or sailing related, don't hesitate to reach out. www.CatamaranCentral.com info@CatamaranCentral.com
