Coming up in the January issues of Practical Sailor magazine... In the January 1 issue... RAW WATER PUMPS We gathered up 12, 12V pumps suitable for deck washdown systems or for keeping your fresh water under pressure, and tested them all. We determined a standout pump in each size category, as well as one dud; you'll want to know which is which. HEADINGS: VENDEE GLOBE EQUIPMENT INNOVATION Every four years the leading lights of the solo sailing world assemble in France to race around the world--non-stop. The boats they sail and the gear they use can tell us a thing or two about what we might see aboard our own boats in the years to come. BOAT REVIEW -- THE NEW X-40 A European builder known for performance offers this appealing mid-sized cruiser with a few novel twists. Also in this issue... Editorial: True Trickledown; Mailport, Chandlery (Knife Update, Skywatch Windmate, and the FenderStep); and PS Advisor: Zincs on Mooring? In the January 15 issue... PORTABLE CABIN HEATERS Whether you opt for 110V, 12V or alcohol to power your cabin heater, you should know what matters regarding the generation and distribution of heat. We run it all down for you.
