Raritan sanitation hose has impressive bend radius

Rariton Sanitation Hose

Aug 26, 2021

Between the odor and working in confined spaces, replacing an onboard sanitation line is never a pleasant job. With Sani/Flex Odor Shield Marine Hose from Raritan Engineering, the task can be completed quicker and with fewer expletives. Incredibly strong, it has class-leading flexibility.

The 1.5″ version of Sani/Flex Odor Shield has a bend radius of 3.15″. The 1″ model has an impressive 1.97″ rating. Combined with its suppleness, it’s super-easy to snake the hose around the tightest corners.

With sanitation hose, flexibility is half the equation. Old or poor-quality styles will often seep odors throughout a boat, especially during summer months. Sani/Flex Odor Shield is manufactured from top-quality butyl rubber. It’s 15 times more resistant to emitting noxious smells than common PVC and backed by Raritan’s 10-year warranty against odor permeation.

Sani/Flex Odor Shield is strong, it’s reinforced with double helix steel wire and synthetic textile yarn to provide a maximum pressure value of 105 psi and a 315 psi burst rating. It is also extremely resistant to collapsing from pump suction. Lightweight, the 1.5″ version is 0.6 lb/ft, while the 1″ hose is a mere 0.35 lb/ft.

The white abrasion-resistant cover of Raritan Sani/Flex Odor Shield Marine Hose resists ozone and seawater. Inside, the hose lining is smooth for maximum waste flow. It costs $15.75/ft USD for the 1″ size and $16.50 USD for the 1.5″ version. It’s also available in 10′, 50′ and 100′ rolls.

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.
