New 56 Riva 2007, Unexpectedly racy

After having risen several times to the challenge of reinterpreting the “Open” concept, creating a large number of yachts ranging from 30 to 68 feet, and developing elegant flybridge boats (from 75 to 115 feet) which form the flagships of its own fleet, this year Riva set itself a new challenge: a yacht following a “sporty glamour” philosophy.

Beuatiful, Unique Hughes 25′ sloop

Posted by: mart152

Description: Beautiful and sturdy, responsive and easy to sail! You will love the feel when Happy comes alive under the canvas - it is thrilling! Hap is rigged to sail by yourself, but there’s lots of room (comfortable room) for company as well! Happy was built at the (Howard) Hughes boatworks in Ontario Canada - hull number 100 - a good one. You know by then that the workers have perfected all the little things they need to turn out a wonderful product! The marine surveyor told me that Mr. Hughes built his boats so well that the shipyard only operated for one year as he felt he could not make enough money on each one to justify the cost of production. As I’m sailing along, I often get great compliments from boaters with much bigger, fancier yachts that holler, "What kind of boat is that anyway?” Ever since I bought my little farm (1999) and moved my horses in with me, I’ve sailed less and less and feel now it’s someone else’s turn to have the thrill of owning an exceptional sailboat.

Are Boat Lifts Really Necessary? Many new boat owners often ask the question, are boat lifts really necessary? The reason for asking this question is because they don t fully understand what is involved in the maintenance of a boat. One very important job you will have is keeping the outside of your boat cleaned. This can be very difficult if you do not have access to a boat lift. A boat lift is a device that will actually lift your boat up out of the water and keep it suspended in the air. This can serve several functions, one of which will be to make it easy to keep your boat clean. Keeping your boats hull clean is a very important step in the upkeep of your boat. Types of boat lifts There are three main types of boat lifts available. The one you choose will depend on the type of boat that you have and where your boat is stored. The floating boat lifts is a great choice and it works by air tanks. When the tanks are full of air they will lift the boat, you release the air to lower the boat down again. They are great for floating docks, but can also be used with seawalls or standing docks. Standing boat lifts are best used in areas where the water level does not change more than a few feet during any given time. They would not work well in ocean waters because of the rise and fall of the tide. These will lift your boat up into the air when you turn a large wheel that is attached to a crank. Mounted boat lifts work by lifting your boat up between the seawalls or the pilings that it is anchored to by using cables or slings. Normally these cables or slings are powered by a motor that will easily lift your boat up and out of the water.

Boat trailer parts, accessories and tools that are necessary for maintenance include trailer jacks that allow you to raise the trailer when you need to add air to the tires or replace them altogether and oil to lube the moving parts so everything is in good working order. Tools to perform regular checks and repairs on the lights and wiring devices associated with the trailer to keep it within spec are a must-have. Use one of several types of dehumidifiers that will help prevent mildew of the protective trailer cloths and always having some spare cloth to replace the torn and tattered ones on the trailer. Of course, chains are probably one of the most important boat trailer parts, accessories, and tools, used for securing the boat in place and locking the trailer to the hitch as well. Tarps to help cover and protect the trailer when the boat is not in place, shielding it from any possible weather that could cause rust or decay, can also come in handy.

Types of Inflatable Boats There are many different types of inflatable boats that are available on the market today. They each have their own unique designs and can provide a wonderful boating experience. Below is a list of some of the inflatable boats that you can buy. Pontoon boats Kayaks Sailing boats Zodiac boats Each type of inflatable boat is designed with a different type of material that makes it more suitable for the use of the boat. For example, the inflatable pontoon boats are designed to be very maneuverable and stay stable in the water. They are designed to support an outboard motor and can usually travel at high speeds. The zodiac boat is designed with flexible tubing for the bow and sides and features a flat bottom. Thy also have a firm platform in which you can place an outboard motor for faster water travel. Of course, any type of inflatable boat can be maneuvered by using oars. Just make sure that you use the correct air pressure to ensure you receive the right buoyancy for the boat you are using to guarantee your safety when on the water.
