ATN’s DORCAP is a great all-weather aerator for the cruising life. Why listen to the air conditioning grind away all the time? The innovative DORCAP is fastened over your open hatch, maximizing the ventilation below deck, and it can be reefed down for squalls, rain and changing weather. The DORCAP is self-standing so it does not require a halyard to stand up and it acts as a true dorade. Even if the rain is blowing in horizontally, the design of the DORCAP prevents the water from coming in, while still allowing the air to enter the open hatch.

Bennett, a well-regarded manufacturer of hydraulic trim tabs, has recently introduced “passive” trim tabs that do not need power. These are available in six-inch width for boats 10 to 14’, and in 10-inch width for boats 14 to 20’. Using only unpowered hydraulic actuators of Bennett’s own design, these tabs will provide bow-down control at speed, at prices below $200, much less than their powered siblings.

Style, functionality and simple installation are all features designed into the Flagship Series portlight. The elliptical portlight’s sleek design offers a large viewing area through a smoked 3/8" tinted acrylic lens. The exterior is beveled so it doesn’t collect water, allowing installation in angled cabin sides.
