Boat Stereo - Selection Guidelines

By David Faulkner


it is but natural to think about buying a boat stereo that will round up your boat accessories. But before getting one, there are some things worth considering.

For one, a boat stereo should be both water- and rust-resistant on the outside as well as the inside. Do not purchase just any boat stereo. If possible, you should take some effort to find out how it was assembled and if the parts are waterproof and can withstand humidity.

Consider different extreme scenarios, such as the boat stereo falling on the water or it being exposed to the sweltering heat of the sun. Will your boat stereo still function under the said conditions? Check and double check if the boat stereo is really water-resistant and not just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill music box.

Another point of consideration is the cost. A boat stereo may be a hundred dollars more expensive than an ordinary stereo, but you have to be convinced that you are getting your money�s worth for it.

You yourself should somehow be knowledgeable about boat stereos as to their best features, whether their manufacture passes strict product standards, and whether they require easy installation and maintenance requirements. Being equipped with this information, you would be able to tell if you have the best deal for your money in acquiring a boat stereo.

Some people ignore this, but a boat stereo warranty is just as important as the unit itself. You should pay particular attention on the warranty period and the parts included under such. You may notice that a warranty may differ from one manufacturer to the next. No two warranties are alike. Therefore, you really have to understand the warranty aspect of a boat stereo should you decide to purchase one.

Having more than enough financial resources can get you the best boat stereo you can ever imagine. But then again, careful scrutiny must be undertaken to ensure that the boat stereo you acquire will provide you with many useful years of service.

Starlight 35 yacht- The designer of the Starlight 35 Mk2 , Stephen Jones, has achieved an enviable reputation for his exceptional vision in hull form which has produced many of the most successful racing yachts in the UK in recent years. In the Starlight 35 Mk2, Stephen has provided a fast hull and easily manageable sail plan, combined with an accommodation layout which combines space and comfort with safety and seaworthiness. She was chosen by the judges in the Yachting World Rally as the best yacht in her size range. The Starlight 35 Mk2 enjoys exceptional qualities of thermal and acoustic insulation achieved by a building process which incorporates an inner and outer moulding, enclosing a foam core. This provides a hull which is quieter, warmer and has a noticeable lack of condensation compared with conventionally constructed yachts. The ambience achieved in the cabins from this construction method is therefore exceptional.

Being Your Own Mechanic as owner of a sailing yacht.

Reading this sailing blog for the past few weeks makes me realize how incredibly difficult it must be to own a boat if you don't have the skills to do the mechanical work yourself. I wonder what percent of today's cruisers rely on a mechanic versus do-it-yourself?

Caribbean or Bahamas - where to keep a yacht?

Sat, 1 Dec 2007 13:25:38 +0200
This is a somewhat general question but where would be a good place to moor a yacht - the Bahamas or in the Caribbean? When I say good, I mean a combination of relatively cheap-to-fly- to, close to an airport, relatively cheap and safe to moor a sailing yacht that is also a good cruising destination.
