Coming up in the December issues of
Practical Sailor magazine...
GEAR OF THE YEAR
After reviewing the 2005 issues of the magazine, we've selected a mix of
products made to improve safety, navigation, and maintenance, as well one
distinctive vessel.
COOLER COOL OFF
PS assembled a gaggle of coolers--nine to be specific--and tested how long
each retains ice. Coleman's Ultimate Extreme Marine is the king of cool.
MID-PRICED PERMANENT MOUNT VHF RADIOS
For a fixed-mount VHF between $180 and $250, you'll want to check out
Icom's M422. And Uniden's UM525 is a Best Buy.
BOAT REVIEW: NAJAD 380
Here's well-built center-cockpit model from Scandinavia that offers
offshore potential and some nice frills--admittedly at a hefty price.
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
The U.S. Coast Guard recommends that you keep a CO detector on board, but
which one? PS tested five models and we've come up with a couple of
recommendations.
Also in this issue...
Editorial: Changes in the Wind; Mailport; Chandlery: The RailLight, Atomic
Tape, and the Crewsaver Safety Hood; and PS Advisor: Cleaning Sails.
