What you need to know about boating systems

More and more modern technology is finding its way on board boats and yachts. However, maintenance and care are still the key when it comes to boating systems.

Checking and when to replace your standing rigging

Probably the most essential part of a sailing yacht is also the most complex. Depending on how the boat is stored, the rigging will be subjected to stresses all year round.

The importance of a Marine Survey

With more than 40 years of experience, Don Buckley of Admiral Marine Surveying knows exactly what marine surveying is all about. In this edition of our Best Practice Videos, Chris Tilley of Pantaenius Sail and Motor Yacht Insurance joins him to explain why and for whom a survey may be appropriate and how regularly such a report should be carried out.

Ribs – not just a tender

These days, a RIB or Riggid Inflatable Boat is much more than a tender. However, some differences, for example compared to fibreglass construction boats with solid hulls, make special care necessary. Buyers of used RIBs should also bear this in mind.

Trailerboats Do’s and Dont’s

Get off the trailer and let's go? A trailer boat promises above all flexibility and fun. However, in order for this promise to be fulfilled, owners should keep a few things in mind, because even a seemingly simple boat needs care and certain system checks should be carried out before every trip.

Stern Drives explained

Neglected stern drives can pose a serious risk. One person who knows all about this is Blake Francis of Francis Marine. In his daily work, he often sees what the ravages of time do to stern drives when owners don't pay attention to maintenance.

Running and maintaining your Shaft Drives

Shaft-driven vessels make up the majority of medium-sized and larger motor yachts. If you want to carefully service and maintain your shaft drive, you first need to understand the parts that make it up.

What to know about your Sail Drive

In this edition of our Best Practice Videos, Brian Gatt of Marine Protection Systems and Chris Tilley of Pantaenius Sail and Motor Yacht Insurance address the questions: What are Saildrives? What are their advantages over shaft drives and what do you need to consider when maintaining and servicing these units to ensure the best performance and trouble-free operation.

How to maintain your outboard

A new, modern outboard doesn't need any servicing, does it? When it comes to maintenance, there are quite a few misconceptions that quickly have a negative impact on the lifespan of the boat or its equipment.
