If you are thinking this, you couldn’t be more wrong! In paid collaboration with @remoranoy We should bust some myths for comments like this one 👆🏽 (Discount code at the end) First of all, people who leave comments like these have probably never been cruising or sailing offshore for extended periods 🤷🏼‍♀️ Right? The stress of seeing your battery state of charge steadily going down is no fun experience, but we have probably all been there? But we are cruisers - not racers! For us, the potential loss in speed is unnoticeable and a very cheap price to pay for knowing that we have a source of energy that works regardless of clouds or if it’s in the middle of the night. The main reason why we like it so much is that it keeps on doing its thing; day and night, mile after mile. It just works! And except from having to clean it from sargasso now and then, it doesn’t require anything and you don’t notice it’s there. For offshore sailing I would say it makes absolute sense to have something like this to take the stress of battery charging off your mind. It’s a great complement to our solar and the alternator on the engine. And as we don’t like the bulkyness of wind generators, this is the only thing that we found suitable. What are your biggest concerns? Do you feel convinced yet that hydro really is a great way of charging your batteries for offshore sailing? Until Feb 28th you get a 5% discount on orders on the Remoran website when using the code LINNEASALE5 at checkout. The code also gives you free DHL standard shipping within the EU.

We had issues with Brad's Big White Johnson. We spent a grand on it in Great Exumas, and it only lasted for 2 days. Try being on a sailboat without a motor on your Dinghy sailing the bahamas. It blows. I mean, this Johnson is a really old outboard, but we were hoping to get it working. #sailing #travel #bahamas

Going behind the scenes at Barton Marine highlighted the skill and craftsmanship involved in creating one of their robust blocks many of us rely on out at sea. It is truly a team effort and the care taken to ensure quality product is available for sailors around the world to use is clear. Here is a 40 second video to show how a Barton block is made. From metal work and moulding of the components, to the hand assembly and quality control at every step, a British icon is born. #bartonmarine #bartonblocks #deckequipment #marineindustry #britishmanufacturing
