Accastillage/sailmaking, have fun to sail cleaner

Before we can get out to sea, we have to brace ourselves. Adapting the navigation equipment on your boat and choosing your sails is a step in the navigation process. We have brought together for you the greatest innovations on the market to start the 2021 season with the best equipment.

Clever Marine Rat Guards
49.00 euros

How to prevent rodents from boarding boats? Here is the "Rat-guard" of the "Smart Sailor" who settles on the moorings or anchor chains . Indeed, the rat gets on board by the moorings or swims a few dozen meters to go up on the anchor chain. This piece of lacquered wood is adaptable on moorings up to 20 mm and chains up to 10 mm.

Amartec mooring damper
61.00 euros

Amartec is a mooring line damper of innovative design. It offers the following advantages: comfort on board, progressive damping, no recoil effects and less displacement of the boat, no damage to port mooring devices, ease of use, material insensitive to marine environments (natural rubber). Built in France, this device is available for boats from 8 to 14 metres or from 3 to 12 tonnes (mooring up to 18 mm in diameter).

Spi 4 Nub from Nodus Factory
From 79.92 euros

The Nub friction pulley is declined here with a strap. Thus, it can be easily attached to a bowsprit and used as a tack for an asymmetrical spinnaker. A ring is provided to block the assembly and prevent it from slipping. The Dyneema lashing ensures that it fits all tube diameters.

Anchor Stop
79.00 euros

Flat anchors offer a poor hold. To remedy this, but without changing the anchor, Stop-Ancre is an accessory that fits on the anchor blades. These 2 fins ensure a better penetration of the anchor and prevent it from moving to the side with traction. An accessory that fits on all flat anchors and greatly increases their holding power.

KF V3 Furler

Kaver is upgrading its KF furlers with a version 3. These take up the classic functions (automatic turret locking, quick line insertion, quick and captive axes...) and add new ones. A patented carbon/Kevlar toothed wheel which gives a better grip and less wear on the line. A high load K Snap carabiner that can be used as a friction sheave. New ergonomic K Kroks shock protectors for the turret and swivel.

eWincher
2,299 euros

The eWincher crank handle is the simplest solution to electrify your winches. It works without installation on all winches and for all boats from 35 to 55 feet. Powerful, with a large autonomy and 3 modes of use. Its precise speed control is achieved with a variable speed drive.

Fiberglass composite wheel rods
Nautex

How can you afford a composite wheel bar at the same price as an aluminium bar? Nautex offers a range of colored or black composite tiller bars, made of fiberglass, not carbon. Lighter than aluminium and available in many colours, these bars improve the steering feel and reduce the consumption of the autopilot.

Rolly Tasker
Breeze trinket

The success of the Code H "ready to wear" with integrated Sveggen furler convinced Rolly Tasker Sails associated with Sveggen to launch this year a range of "ready to wear" staysail with integrated furler. This ultra simple and economical solution allows you to do away with the dropable forestay, and to sail in strong breezes while preserving your genoa.

Aluminium or carbon spars
AG+ Spars

AG+ Spars, a French company produces masts for sailing boats. Whether for cruising or regattas, from small dinghies to 40-foot sailing boats, AG+ is present on this market. It develops masts in series like those of the J99, but can also create a mast by unit for a customer with a precise request. AG+ is the assurance of a mast in its image.

Code D
Delta Voiles

Delta Sails' Code D is 10 years old! Launched in 2010, this downwind sail takes up the right luff of a gennaker and the very hollow leech of an asymmetrical spinnaker. Thus it can be easily rolled on a furler making manoeuvres easier. And its large leech allows downwind sailing up to 140° from the apparent wind. The Code D is not a racing sail, but a great asset for cruising. Hence its success..

Blocker QR 14
Antal

The QR 14 is a high load quick release blocker that uses the double V Grip jaw system for 14 mm ropes. The QR has been designed to exert its grip on 4 sides allowing for a more secure hold and higher locking power. Ropes slide freely even with the handle closed when the jaws are locked open inside. To switch to "lock closed" mode, simply move the locking lever upwards to activate the jaws.

Mainsail track
Tides Marine

To facilitate the sliding of the carriages in the mast, Nautex International distributes Tides Marine mainsail tracks. This ultra-simple system slides into the mast groove without even having to climb the masthead, let alone dismast. Made in one piece, this rail provides a smooth, perfectly sliding surface for all slides.

Sector Pulley
Antal

Antal invented the low-friction rings in 2008, which have been widely copied since. The new Sector pulley is a freely rotating ring equipped with a guide housing that can be used as a pulley while providing very high strength for low weight and significantly reduced friction compared to the conventional low friction ring. It is the perfect solution for manoeuvring with very high loads and low amplitudes where speed is not essential. The range includes 4 models for a working load of up to 3.8 tons.

Spinnaker fitting kit SPK (Safe Packing Kite)
Protect Tapes

To furl the spinnaker with strands of wool, Protect Tapes offers the furling kit. The buttons to be glued or sewn on the luff tape of the sails are made from recycled materials. The V-groove is able to hold the thread until the sail is released. First the end of the thread is wrapped around the button, then around the compacted sail and finally around the button again. The operation is very simple and can be done quickly by one person. The broken threads are retained in the groove of each button, without falling into the sea. A respectful solution for our planet.

Spinnaker sock
ATN

Having a good spinnaker sock changes the way you use your downwind sail. The well-proven ATN spinnaker socks offer comfort for both symmetrical and asymmetrical spinnakers. Its durable fabric allows the spinnaker to dry even inside the bag.

Deck hatch

Built on the same basis as the translucent panels, Plastimo extends its range with 100% aluminium models, even for the part usually made of glass. The clear glass is replaced by a solid aluminium panel. This all-aluminium version is suitable for high-traffic bridges and configurations that favour resistance rather than brightness. Two finishes are available: one raw, ready to be painted and the other in anodised aluminium. 4 sizes from 275 euros.

Uniledbar projectors

On-board lighting is an aid to navigation at night: manoeuvring, entering and leaving the port, visibility on board and around the boat, fishing area... In order to meet the high requirements imposed by the salty environment, Uniledbar floodlights have been designed with specific high quality materials that are watertight (IP67) and corrosion-resistant. The lighting quality and power are reinforced (from 1260 to 3780 lumens depending on the model) for a low consumption (18W to 54W).
