COOL STUFF for your Trimaran:
BOMBER GEAR HAZ-MAT SUIT This is just like a dry suit except it is really easy to put on. My entire crew wore these waterproof breathable suits in the 2003 Mac. The neoprene and velcro seals combined with the waterproof lycra neck gasket do a great job of keeping the water out. The suit does not have a relief zipper but I have found that one can use the main zipper. The haz mat suit has reinforced knees and butt and has a useful mesh thigh pocket.
PETZEL MYO3 HEAD LAMP This
head lamp has three energy efficient LEDs which
you can use to see small
things right in front of you. It also has a focusable Xenon halogen bulb
which you can use for checking your tell tails without making the rest of the
crew night blind. I never understood why people use flashlights to trim
sails but then I was always lousy at juggling. There is a red lens for the
three LED's coming soon.
Blokart Land Sailers
These Carts are a great way to sail once the water gets too
cold. They fit in a nylon bag. They turn on a dime. Are smooth
and quiet and can be converted quickly for ice use.
Assembly time is about 8 minutes.
SUUNTO M9 This wrist top computer will tell you how fast
you are going as well as your heading. The real heading, not just the
compass reading. All that from your wrist. The GPS will help you
navigate your way through the fog and around town. The watch has
programmable features as easy to use and similar to your cell phone. Suunto has always been known for it's marine watches like the Mariner and
Yachtsman. The M9 is smaller and does more.
EMERGENCY
RUNNING LIGHTS: You can get these LED lights
in red green and white. They can be used as
emergency running lights if your light fail. They conveniently clip on and
are extremely energy efficient.
Pakboats, Puffin Kayaks One of the great things about Corsair tris is that their draft is so shallow that you really don't need a tender. If you did want to take a kayak along so you could go exploring while at anchor these are the lightest most affordable collapsible boats. They easily fit in the amas.
BOXIT CELPHONE COVERS
These covers come with hoods and antenna covers to fit most phones. The
front of the case is soft so you can dial and hear through a Gore tm audio
membrane. The covers do not work with flip phones. If you drop your
phone in the water with this case; it floats!
TETHERED WATERPROOF CHART COVER
This lets
you keep your charts where you want them without risk of losing them. Fits charts
up to 8.5'x14'. Folded charts can be viewed on both sides. One of
the inner vinyl surfaces is textured so it is easy to slide maps in and out.
This format will fit charts you download and print.
HALFWAY
FOLDING BICYCLES These aluminum bikes built by Giant
quickly fold. weigh 28 lbs and come with a storage bag. They have 7
speeds and are the perfect way to explore land, or go in search of supplies
while in harbor.
ARBOR LONG-BOARDS These boards are great for cruising to and from the yacht club in style. The Hawaiian Koa decks will match the tropical motif of your Corsair Trimaran. They are built just a little North of Corsair's Factory in Chula Vista CA. Easy to stow convenient for when you have to go pick up a bag of ice. The balance skills you gain and maintain will come in handy for surfing when you sail your Tri to Tahiti.
STRIDA FOLDING BICYCLES These one speed bikes fold small and have a Kevlar belt drive so they do not get grease in your boat. They are not as small or light as the Halfway.
