"Plastic" or"Plastic" for the windows?

Yannick has problems to redo the windows of his Toy 1040 MS. This sailboat, produced in the 1980s by the Yachting France shipyard, has large windows that surround the deckhouse. If they bring light into the square, they eventually age and crack. But how can they be replaced when the home provider answers absent subscribers? Fortunately, Alain, a technician in the field, reminds us of the various "Plastics" available and the proper use of a boat.

My sailboat that I love

Finally, an MOB screen to declare a man overboard, records the position at the time of the fall and indicates the heading and distance to return to this point. The application is developed so that even if you leave it, the stored position always remains active when you return to the application. Dominig tells us about his love for his sailboat Southerly 110 RS35 . A Nordic sailboat designed for life at sea in difficult conditions. In his long presentation, he looks back at the configuration of his boat, its behaviour under sail, with the engine, in the rough sea. Finally, he discusses the advantage of the lifting keel before describing the work done on his boat. A beautiful text that presents this model with many details.
