Coming up in the December issue of Practical Sailor
magazine...
TALE OF THE TAPE
What's behind the
recent failures of 3M's famous blue tape? It's hard to say, but our
investigations have turned up a few useful alternatives, including one
very surprising possibility.
HEADINGS: OLAF HARKEN SPEAKS
OUT
After 37 years in the business, the co-founder of one of
sailing's most innovative equipment manufacturers has a few insights to
offer, including some cogent comments about how technology trickledown
works.
NETWORKED SYSTEMS: FURUNO VS. GARMIN
We tested
two of the top networked systems--Furuno's NavNet and Garmin's new Marine
Network--to find that Furuno prevails, but Garmin is coming on strong in
the 10-inch display arena.
GEAR OF THE YEAR
Our annual
roundup of the most outstanding products from our past 20 issues includes
items that enhance navigation, maintenance, and safety.
SPINNAKER SNUFFER TEST
We tested three ready-made
spinnaker sleeves from ATN, North, and Chutescoop. There's a lot of value
to be had in these handy devices, and a close examination can help
determine what approach is best.
Also in this
issue...
Finally, a source for those hard to find gasket sizes and
shapes; the Scully Rig and Propulsion Rudder; and a response to the
question of whether or not to leave your mast stepped during off season
storage; as well as Practical Sailor's Annual Index for 2004.
