Gear: Spring Fever – One Handle. Forty Tools

Shurhold One Handle System

Feb 23, 2023

Mechanics use sockets instead of individual wrenches because they can complete a project in less time and the tools take up less storage space. It’s no different with the Shurhold One-Handle-Does-It-All-System. Boat owners need only a single handle and any of over forty specialized quick-attach tools to get the job done fast.

The foundation of the Shurhold system is the company’s high-strength handles. Manufactured in the USA from polished, triple-anodized marine-grade aluminum, they’re lightweight and corrosion-resistant, and have comfortable rubber no-slip grips.

Shurhold handles are offered in 13″, 30″, 40″ and 60″ fixed lengths and two adjustable types. The 6′ Telescoping version locks at four intervals between 40″ and 72″ while the 9′ Telescoping model locks at five positions between 60″ and 108″. Each Shurhold attachment clicks easily and securely onto any of the handles using the unique SHUR-LOK quick-release system. To remove, depress the button and slide the tool off.

Shurhold offers a One-Handle-Does-It-All-System attachment for virtually any onboard need. Cleaning tools include a wide range of deck and soft-bristled brushes, mops, brooms, swivel scrubbers and squeegees. Fishing accessories include a gaff and three specialized nets. For boating, there’s a boat hook, paddle and the Dock-A-Reni, a handy device that makes handling dock lines a breeze. The 10″ curved adapter makes cleaning the waterline easier while the 30″ extension is perfect for radomes and other lofty equipment. A GoPro/VIRB camera adapter lets boat owners capture the action—even underwater.

Fixed Length starts at $12.50 (the smallest 13″ Handle), Telescopic start at $48.81, and attachments start at $12.50.

Neptunus 650F Review

Neptunus 650F 400

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.
