If you own a boat, then you know the amount of pride you feel when you take your lady out on the water. The only complaint you might have is how standard most boats look. They may have a different color scheme but for the most part, the decoration styles of most boats are the same. You would like your boat to look different from the rest, but airbrushing can be extremely costly. If you really want your boat to stand out and show off your personality than a boat wrap might be just for you. This can be a wrap that shows you are part of a sailing team or if you just want to make your boat different from anyone else's in the harbor. The choice is yours.

A boat wrap or marine wraps as it is officially called is not an airbrush job. Up until recently most boat lovers spiced up the look of their boat with an airbrush job. Airbrushing costs a lot of money and time. Your boat might have to go through some prep work before the airbrush even starts and the airbrushing itself can take some time. You could be missing valuable time out on the water. With boat wrapping you don't have to worry about any of that. The boat wrap goes over almost any hull with very little prep. There is no scraping or painting required. This is why boat wrapping is so much less expensive than say an airbrush or even a detail job. Most of the time with those projects you have to prep your boat. Your boat might have to be painted or scraped. This adds into the cost of the work. With a boat wrap there is none of that which is why the cost of boat wrapping is half of what an airbrush job would cost you. Boat wraps are easy and quick to install. The whole procedure usually takes just a day and then your boat can be back in the water. If down the line you change your mind either about the design or you want to upgrade your design it can be removed or stripped off and replaced with no damage to your boats body.

The design on the wrap will vary from owner to owner. This is your boat. You can make it as exciting and colorful as you want. The best part is because it is installed over your hull, you don't have to worry about mistakes being made like you do when your boat is being airbrushed or detailed. The boat wrap company will make sure everything is perfect before they even begin to install your images on your boat. Boat wraps are printed out before they are installed on your boat so if you see something you don't' like or it doesn't meet your vision, you can change it before its put on your boat. You can't do that with airbrush.

So whether you are an avid fisherman, a boat racer, or a boater hobbyist having a boat that is different from everyone else's is more of a reality than you thought possible with boat wraps.

RIB or sometimes known as RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat) is a craft with a rigid hull and inflatable tube around the top. Inflatables can be moved and carried easily to their place of use, ribs may require a trailer. Most inflatables can be put together, inflated and ready to use in a short time. They have excellent performance, handling and versatility and are known to be very safe. They are made in a range of sizes from about 3 metres(10 feet) for a tender type, up to around 9 metres (30 feet) for an large offshore boat. They have also been used for other purposes apart from leisure such as search and rescue work with the coastguard and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Well known manufacturers of these boats include:

One can and should insure a jet ski prior to use. Insurance may include insuring the craft and insuring one against personal injury. Insuring the craft is easier than insuring for injury, as the jet ski is associated with accidents. If one cannot obtain personal injury insurance, check with one�s health insurance plan to be certain that an injury via jet ski is covered by insurance. Some plans do not cover one if engaging in certain activities like bungee jumping, parachuting and the like. Check plan exclusions prior to purchase of a jet ski.

Before purchasing any jet ski, one should consider one�s ability to store and to tow the jet ski. Generally a jet ski is best stored in an indoor environment, such as a shed or garage. One may need ample power or a towing package to tow the jet ski to lakes or the coast. A jet ski that can�t be moved isn�t going to provide a lot of fun.

South African crew wanted for Clipper 07-08

Sun, 29 Apr 2007 14:52:59 +0200
South African crew wanted for Clipper 07-08 to defend national pride! Durban Clipper will be competing again in the Clipper 07-08 Round the World Yacht Race when it sets off from Liverpool, UK, on 16 September this year. This will be the second time Durban Clipper has taken part in the race – having finished on the podium in a very creditable second place in Clipper 05-06. With the exception of the skippers, none of the crews are professional sailors and many of those taking part have never sailed before beginning their comprehensive race training. It is not too late for people from South Africa to sign up to take part in this 35,000-mile ocean race. Durban Clipper was narrowly beaten to second place on her first outing by westernaustralia.com Clipper, so there is a great deal of Southern Hemisphere pride to play for!
