Keeping the pleasure of sailing and getting out on the water
Whether you're polishing the interior of your boat, or the crew is feeling stressed at the thought of a harbor maneuver, or you find yourself in a squall in the rain, or you can't get your dinghy up... There are many moments when yachtsmen ask themselves, paraphrasing Molière: "What on earth have I been doing in this mess?"
Every week, our sailing stories remind us that pleasure remains the driving force behind our escapades at sea. But with each "galley", everyone looks for a way out, and some find it.
Avoiding problems at dockside or on the water
Everyone's getting involved, professionals and amateurs alike, with more or less effective finds. For example, the Lépine competition sometimes takes an interest in boats, as with nicolas Mignot's Annexotech for easy annex storage. Others are thinking about the ideal dinghy, like Matt for his Duracell project .
But thinking doesn't stop with the dinghy. Apprehension of the difficulties at sea is evolving, and some equipment has gone from being a gadget to becoming essential for some, such as the joystick for easy manoeuvring . Comfort is also inside the cabin. And we all know how complex the upkeep of a marine toilet can be. So if a product can simplify it, we're happy to adopt it .
What equipment and tips do you have to ensure that your boat isn't a "nightmare"?
