- Have You Checked Your Boat Zincs Lately?
By: Marinetrader | - We all hear talk about the docks regarding zincs, but what do they really do? How do they work?
Any time you have two different metals that are physically or electrically connected and immersed in seawater, they produce electrical current. Some DC current flows between the two metals which can corrode metals such as props, shafts, thru hulls and sea strainers in the engine room.
The way we stop galvanic corrosion is to add a piece of metal called a sacrificial ano ...

By: Roger Washburn | - When asked which of the Caribbean islands is the most beautiful, the debate is endless and almost always without consensus. Barack Obama may well change that. Very few travelers who have hiked the trails through La Sierra de los Organos to the spectacular Vinales Valley , or strolled the white sands of Varandne will vote for anyplace other than Cuba . The only factor standing between Cuba being a travel destination of choice for the U.S. traveler is of course, the U.S. Policy toward Cuba .

- Fair Wind Sailing School Sailing Lessons: Intermediate Sail Trim
By: Dave Bello | - In this lesson I will present a detailed perspective on sail trim, introducing the use of tell-tales and more sail controls, while keeping the relative time spent on sail trim to a minimum.
Novices begin sail trim with the mainsail. More advanced sailors start sail trim from the most forward sail on the boat. For a typical Bermuda Sloop, the most common rig today, that means the jib or foresail. We will also introduce sailing by the tell-tales -- the little pieces of green and red ...

- Fair Wind Sailing School Sailing Lessons: Beginning Sail Trim
By: Dave Bello | - Sail trim can be one of the great mysteries of effectively sailing a vessel propelled solely by the wind. Ask someone who has been on a racing vessel, or even just watched a racing yacht, and you are likely to hear how much work sailing is or how the sails need constant adjustment. This view is really incorrect -- sail trim can be as difficult or as simple as you want to make it.
