Preview: Caribbean Racing Circuit 2010

 

 

The 2010 Caribbean Racing Circuit is just around the corner, so if you’re getting tired of the constant winter snow storms and looking to do some fun and exciting racing in some of the most pristine sailing venues imaginable, it might be time to start thinking about a vacation! The circuit is made up of three major events, the Heineken Sint Maarten Regatta, the International Rolex Regatta, and the BVI Spring Regatta, beginning just days from now on March 4th, and continuing on through April 4th. Each event incorporates an option to charter a boat as a group or to register as an individual competitor, providing sailors of all ranges in ability the chance to enjoy a Caribbean getaway this season. It’s time to pull out the summer sailing gear and head south!

The first event on the 2010 schedule is the Heineken Sint Maarten Regatta, taking place on March 4th-7th. This is perhaps the most widely known event of the year, notorious for its reputation of combining near-perfect sailing conditions with massive blow-out parties, of course sponsored by Heineken and Mount Gay Rum. The event features bareboat, PHRF, beach cat, and one-design classes and boasts a serious party line-up each night after racing highlighted by popular reggae and rock bands from around the islands and beyond. If you plan on attending just one racing event this season, this should be it!

The next stop on the list is the International Rolex Regatta, hosted by the St. Thomas Yacht Club in the U.S. Virgin Islands, on March 26th-28th. Of all the regattas in the Caribbean each winter, this is the premier racing event, with world-famous entries in the IRC division and a massive IC-24 fleet, one of the most competitive one-design classes in the Caribbean. The IC-24 is essentially a J-24 retrofitted with a Melges 24 style cockpit and sailing hardware. The class features strict rules such as legs-in hiking and prohibits kinetics used on similar small keel boats in order to place an emphasis on tactics and to attract a group of sailors with a wide range of abilities to the class. For the hard-core racer or somebody looking to improve on their skills, the International Rolex Regatta is not to be missed.

The BVI Spring Regatta is another widely popular event, held in Tortola, BVI, and in conjunction with the International Rolex Regatta, beginning just one day after the St. Thomas event on March 29th and continuing until April 4th. This regatta is a more laid-back option to the Rolex Regatta, sporting a large bare-boat entry list, a competitive windsurfing event, and both cruising and racing multi-hull classes. The event is run out of the beautiful Nanny Cay marina on Tortola’s south shore and incorporates nightly beach parties, which I can personally attest to, are not to be missed!

If you’re considering ditching the dry suits and spray gear this winter and hopping on a plane to the Caribbean, I would highly suggest that you check out one of these events. Each regatta offers the opportunity for a week-long family vacation and a chance to rack up some silverware over the winter season. With the Caribbean Racing Circuit quickly approaching, it’s hard to find a reason not to join in the fun.

Inflatable Kayak Reviews and Kayaks Come In Many Inflatable Models And Styles, Which One is Right For You?

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

With inflatable kayak reviews, we can take some of the top kayaks and inflatable boat models and break them down into categories such as function, size, and style that will suite your boating needs the best, and provide you an informative review of each kayak! The inflatable boats market is increasing dramatically due to the flexibility and price of many kayaks and boats available today, and for people that enjoy spending time in the outdoors, they can really take advantage of the features they offer. Now whether you’re a sports junkie or a seasonal leisure enthusiast will be the determining factor on which inflatable kayak is going to be right for you. You may go camping only once a year, and your active lifestyle is casual and more laidback. With that in mind, you would consider a boat that is based more on the pricing, and you won't have as much concern about the material quality. On the other hand, if you're planning on kayaking class 4 whitewater or you plan on using your inflatable boat for some serious fishing activities, then you will be considering more heavy duty reinforced boats with greater flexible features, and kayak accessories and necessary options to satisfy your demanding outdoor requirements.

Our Inflatable Review Will Help You Determine Which Kayak Meets Your Recreation Needs Many manufacturers and outfitters have done a great job in creating a wide variety of options, and understand that the boat features must be different for each boating individual. They have designed everything from casual recreation models, to the extremely durable paddling features that many hardcore sporting kayakers require. I will do a breakdown of several inflatable models and provide you a detailed comparison on each one. This way you can see differences in the construction, and why they vary from the lower priced average durable model, to the performance level pvc models that are more rugged and stronger in the denier class of material. If you’re not familiar with some of the technical terms above, don’t worry! I will explain these terms to you in my next article and let you know the importance. To continue this article, you can follow my link that you can find in my Author Bio section listed as kayak Reviews? In the second part of this article I will go into more detail for you, and talk about several models available. I will discuss which one is best suited for your outdoor experience, and in the end you can make the final decision of which one is best for you.

How To Launch Your Boat

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Launching your boat will become a simple task with a little practice. However, if you are new to boating you might want to hitch up your boat trailer and head to an empty parking lot to gain some practice. I don’t recommend arriving at the boat ramp and attempting to launch your boat before you know how to reverse a trailer. So, let’s look at some of the principles of reversing a trailer Start with your vehicle and the trailer as straight as possible and about a trailer’s length from the area into which you want to reverse. Watch the trailer out of the driver's window while reversing slowly, and start turning the steering wheel to the right. Be gentle with the steering ?it is easier to add more steering than to correct it too much. Some guides to reversing suggest grasping the steering wheel at the very bottom. This should prevent you from over-turning the wheel and if your steering wheel is in a straight position to start with, you will know throughout the reversing maneuver, without having to look, that at the lowest point your steering wheel is again straight. As soon as the trailer starts to turn you can begin straightening up while still reversing. Don't leave straightening up too late ,otherwise, the trailer will jackknife.

Eventually you begin steering in the other direction while still reversing. Bring the vehicle’s nose around to follow the trailer and keep an eye on where the trailer is in case it needs correction. Continue to reverse in a straight line using the side mirrors. Reverse slowly and carefully. When more of the trailer appears in one mirror, steer towards that mirror to start the trailer going the other way. Remember that a correction only requires a small steering movement. Pulling forward to straighten the trailer is often an easy option before continuing to reverse. Once you are able to back up a few hundred feet without jackknifing your trailer or rear-ending anything you are probably ready to launch your boat at a boat ramp. If possible, select a quiet weekday morning for your first launch. The first rule when launching a boat is being prepared before you pull onto the launching ramp. That means having all your gear safely stowed, the boat key in the ignition, the boat drain plug in, the tie-down straps off, the trailer lights disconnected and a safety line connected to the boat’s bow. It can be very frustrating watching someone loading fishing or picnic gear into their boat or apply sunscreen to their kids while their boat is parked on the launch ramp!

Tempo Gas Walker

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Many avid boaters know that it can be extremely expensive and at times very difficult to fuel a speedboat, pontoon, or jet ski while out on the water. Some lakes or rivers may not even provide fueling stations, depending on the location, and others charge an arm and a leg for their precious gas. The same gas that you can get for half the price at the regular gas station down the road. Having the Tempo Gas Walker can solve both problems by giving you the ability to have gas readily available and not have to empty your pocket book to pay for it.

 

The Tempo Gas Walker is a gravity fed fuel pump that will dispense 3.5 gallons per minute. It comes equipped with recessed wheels that will move easily over many terrains without damaging the axle. And the strong, easy to grip handle is built right in so there’s no chance of losing your gas walker as you walk up a hill or down the dock. The cross-linked polyethylene construction also makes the walker very durable for little risk of damage.

 

One feature of the handy Tempo Gas Walker is a valve that is similar to those used on gas pumps. The valve is attached to a 10 foot hose which provides plenty of length for filling your boat up right from the dock. It has a bronze ball valve that helps prevent leaks during transport and a brass shutoff valve to help control the flow of fuel.

 

Before you start getting ready for your next day or weekend on the water make sure you fill your boat’s fuel tank as well as your new gas walker. Depending on the size of your boat or watercraft, you can sometimes more than double your fuel capacity since this portable fuel tank will hold up to 29 gallons of gasoline for later use. Don’t spend your sunny afternoon stranded in the middle of the lake or spending your week’s earnings on gas. Consider a portable fuel tank such as the Tempo Gas Walker.

 

Let Shipbrokers Guide Your Vessel Purchase Decision

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Shipbrokers are a significant group who command respect and deserve the indulgence they receive from their customers. Their duties involve advising their customers on the various types of ships, how to secure cargoes, obtain clearances and arrange for insurance. A broker also negotiates the sale and purchase of even merchant ships. They are held in high respect because it is on their authority that the customers acquire ships which they then put to sea.

Shipbrokers play a major role when you set out to buy international vessels and offshore boats. In the shipping industry, they act as a middleman between their prospective client and the owner of the cargo/charter ship. Especially in the field of international shipping. Their actions and negotiations should be well accounted for and they should be well versed in the international terms and conditions involved in the process. Their responsibilities also include sending out a recapitulation of the agreement along with a copy of the charter party. A Charter party is a legal document containing details of the transaction, on whether the boat is hired or lent. If hired or lent, the details of the international shipment of goods and the details and time of voyage will be specified. The type of charter party will differ depending upon the specifications of both parties involved. It is the duty of the broker to advise them.

If you are planning to buy offshore boats, then choose the type that can brave all types of weather. Your broker will advise you on certain factors to remember when you plan to buy a boat. Your budget and will how much you can really spend on a boat. If you don't have ready cash, then securing a loan is a mush and your broker will help with that as well. Determine how you will use your boat. Are you planning to use your offshore boat for fishing purposes or do you also plan to take your family on outings too? If the boat it to be used for family outings safety and comfort are the main areas on which to focus.

Depending on your budget the broker will be able to advise you on the size boat you can afford. Your broker will inform you of the various vessels for sale. Do you want a type of boat that can be attached to a trailer? How far out to sea are you planning are venturing? If you are planning to go further than about 25 miles, you will need to get something really sturdy that can brave the sea. Decide on the type of power you want your boat fitted with. You can choose between an inboard and outboard motor. Choose one that is not noisy and puts out little pollution if any. Your broker will have information on popular brands available in the international market.

There is a large assortment of vessels for sale on the international online market. Most sellers have a good record of sales history and strive hard to cater to the needs of their customers. You need to have in mind what specifications you are looking for, the purpose of the boat and your budget. Your broker can help you come to a decision. You can select from a wide range of international vessels. Vessels for sale include small tankers, large tankers, ferries, cargo vessels carrying general objects, freezer trawlers, oil barges, river barges, police and military patrol vessels and hundreds others. Through their international contracts they also organize competent ship repairing services. You can also buy powered boats large and small with high speeds and high performance in the international market place.

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Ski boats are really expensive, but you need not buy one, you can actually rent one by the hour, daily or weekly rates.

There are boats that can accommodate 3 to 4 people or ski boats that can embrace a small party. You can have these boats either by renting, leasing or even buying one.

When to Get boat rentals: Ski Boats

Whether you’re renting or buying, you should always check the individual model of the boat you are interested in, always remembering to consider what is important with you. For example ski boats take in a lot of fuel, so it is important that you load your ski boat with lots of fuel. You will also need sun block and other equipment that you will need for your planned activities. Rented ski boats have something good about them, they commonly come to you already stocked, with gas and other boating essentials you might need on your trip, skis, inflatable toys and sun block even.

The Process of A Boat Auction

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Boat auctions are a lot more common – and a lot more popular – than most people realize. So why would people choose to use boat auctions instead of just buying one on their own and not dealing with any possibility of a hassle First, boats that are bought in a boat auction usually cost only a fraction of the hefty price tag they were purchased originally for. It’s also common for people who can’t buy a boat directly from a dealer because of poor credit to try auction houses because many houses will finance boats to anyone. And many people find that older, antique boats – which are hard to find anywhere – often go up for auction after someone passes away, giving them an opportunity to find a rare treasure.

Although there are plenty of different systems the thing is that most auction houses have the same process . The first difference is registration whereby some auction houses make people register and some don’t it mainly differs depending on how the business wants to track the buyers. The fact is once the bidding starts the boat is for sale. Once the Auction has started every one that is interested bids and the higher bidder wins the ski boat.

A boat auction is very simple, a boat is submitted for bid, bids are taken and the highest bidder wins. It is quiet often the case that the previous owner needs to supply past information and paper work on the condition and history of the boat.
