Ronstan’s Cockpit Clutter

CABIN-RONSTANORG125

CABIN-RONSTANORG250Ronstan’s new range of Cockpit Organizers control cockpit clutter by containing loose items. Each product has been specifically designed to address common cockpit organization problems and help create a fast and functional environment in almost any sailboat cockpit.

The full line of Ronstan Cockpit Organizers includes rope bags, winch handle pockets and even a drink holder. Each rope bag features a heavy-duty hook-and-loop fixing system so they can be easily mounted without drilling. Strong enough to hold wet lines, each bag can still be quickly removed when not in use, leaving only the soft side of the hook-and-loop system in the cockpit. Bags come in multiple sizes and feature mesh drainage and ventilation panels to help keep lines dry and reduce mould. An integrated U.V. and water cover is also built into the RF3700 lifeline bag for dry rope storage

Ronstan Cockpit Organizers are available using either acrylic canvas or PVC material. The acrylic rope bags have a classic navy style and are both water and U.V. resistant. They utilize a pull tight strap closure system and cockpit versions include a drink holder pocket on the side. Other acrylic products include a lifeline-mounted version of the rope bag, a winch handle pocket and a drink holder.

By Andy Adams

Over the years Canadian Yachting has had the pleasure of doing several boat review articles on new Neptunus models and we are familiar with the qualities that Neptunus is famous for. They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
