Coming up in the June double-issue of Practical Sailor
magazine...
FURUNO AND SIMRAD PLOTTER/SOUNDERS
COMPARED
One of the most popular innovations in on-board
electronics is the combination of a color chart plotter and depth sounder.
We field-test two economically priced models to determine which ranks
highest in features and functionality.
TWO AGAINST ONE: SI-TEX
VS. GARMIN IN PLOTTER/SOUNDERS
Would you rather have two discrete
units to aid in your navigation or just one? PS runs a head-to-head
test with chartplotter/sounders.
HEADINGS: NAV GEAR
REVOLUTION
Navigation equipment, and the assumptions and skills of
the navigator, have undergone a profound revolution in a very short time.
Nick Nicholson has seen it all--so far.
WATER REPELLANTS FOR
FABRIC
Whether you're talking about sailbags, cushion covers,
awnings, or dodgers, so many items on board can be made to last longer
with proper protection from moisture. We test and rank 13 different fabric
coatings.
BOAT REVIEW: TELSTAR 28
A new folding entry in
the trailerable multihull market from Performance Catamarans offers some
enticing features. After taking it out for a spin, PS runs down the
pros and cons.
NON-SKID COMPOUNDS AND PAINTS
Time to
restore your boat's deck? We test three paint options, four different
non-skid additives, and the resulting 12 combinations to ascertain the top
candidates.

Trays, Self-Bonding Tapes, a stow bag for dinghies, EPIRB Problems, and
