Boat Storage - Essential Elements To Look For

By David Faulkner


Boat storage is a necessity if you own a boat. A lot of people giddy and excited about purchasing a boat consider the factor of boat storage only when it is too late. It is a good thing that these days, you are free to choose from an array of options when it comes to selecting a boat storage arrangement that would suit your requirements.

The most accessible alternative for boat storage is definitely your own backyard, provided there is enough room to accommodate it. Your boat can be stationed here when you are not using it. It is the safest alternative as you can keep an eye on your expensive vehicle at all times.

A sturdy boat cover is, of course, essential for that added protection against extreme weather conditions, and should at the same time be constructed in a way that allows easy access to your boat.

If you've got the bucks to spare, you might invest in the construction of a boat house in your backyard that is spacious enough not only for boat storage but also for maintenance and cleaning paraphernalia. Simple maintenance jobs and repairs can also be performed here.

If, on the other hand, your backyard is not big enough to accommodate your boat, there are spaces available for rent at the marina for your boat storage requirements. Payment terms can be for one whole season or on a monthly basis. A marina situated close to a water body that you often go to is perfect and should be a major consideration before you close a boat storage deal.

There are certain elements to be considered in selecting boat storage. You should first consider your own resources before anything else. If the local government permits, you can construct your own boat storage building. Otherwise, you may consider the marina for that needed boat storage space.

This alternative, however, entails some considerations such as the manner in which your boat will be kept; easy access to your boat anytime; and the stipulated conditions in renting the place. It is also important that the boat storage facility is protected against harsh weather conditions.

Tips On cutter sailboat

You can easily repair your inflatable boat and its minor punctures (1cm or less), be it either in Hypalon or in Strongan/PVC fabric. Read basic repair instructions below, but when performing simple repairs follow the instructions in your owner's manual. Always use safety equipment. Seek a professional repair station for complete details, instructions and materials.


Years ago, inflatable boats where the most expensive boats on the market and only a few people could afford them. This was due to the use of exotic materials and the hours of meticulous hand labor which went into their construction. Now, the boats still use the best materials, but in the late seventies, the companies started investing millions of dollars in computer-driven assembly equipment. This enabled prices to be dramatically reduced as economies of scale rose, enabling more and more consumers to enjoy affordable inflatable boating. Zodiac and its sister company, Sevylor, are now the leading low-cost producer thanks to these technological investments. So be wary of inflatable prices substantially below the Zodiac/Sevylor line. They may be either produced in developing countries by unskilled labor, or marketed by companies who are unaware of the importance of profit margins. They will be glad to see your dollar today but may be unwilling or unable to fix a problem later, or supply that much needed spare part.

Solar Panel Life-span On Sailing Yachts?

Sun, 25 Nov 2007 11:41:35 +0200
Just wondering how long some of you have had your solar panels? If you have noticed any degeneration in efficiency, and what brand you have? Also, if anyone can recommend a good book on solar power - drycell battery systems and energy consumption calculations (i.e. how many and what size panels are needed to power specific systems) it would be greatly appreciated.
