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.

Fastening fenders to the side of a boat can be tricky and time-consuming.  Accon Marine's 401-R Fender Hangers enable boat owners to easily place and remove fenders without repetitive tying and untying.

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.

Colligo Marine is introducing made-to-order synthetic shrouds using lashing or turnbuckle tensioning systems that are about the same cost as stainless steel but 1/6th the weight – and 1/3 the cost of comparable PBO and carbon systems.

Murphy's Law dictates that when a deck plate needs to be accessed, the key will be nowhere to be found. Perko prevents this from happening by offering three handy tools that slip easily onto a key chain. The black plastic 1241 Deck Plate Key fits a majority of Perko deck plates, including 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" models. It also works with other slot-type deck plates. Lugs measure 1 1/8" centre to centre, spade length is 1" and overall length is 4". It includes two key chain holes. Model 1247 fits the same deck plates but at just 1 3/4" long, is tiny enough to slip into a pocket.

This entirely new boat design is definitely from the “and now for something completely different” school of design. Why not a family-oriented boat that incorporates a number of features from the inexpensive and compact, pop-up tent trailer designs? Pop-up tent trailers were introduced decades ago for motoring families and they opened up comfort camping to those who wanted a bit more in the way of amenities than ground-pitched tents could provide. We used one for many years when we camped throughout northern areas in our younger years BB (before boats).
