Salcombe looking good.

Early morning Salcombe looking good before the bank holiday crowd descends. With the University of Plymouth and 4 of their potential Day Skippers. More from them when they complete next weekend.

Here are some recent pictures of a Yachtmaster Preparation week delivered on behalf of Trafalgar Sailing. Both candidates passed! Congratulations to both Dan and Emma.

Francois, our chirpy Luxemburger, was having some difficulty getting the hand bearing compass to make any sense near Tarifa. It worked fine for everyone else. Did he have a metal plate in his head, we asked? No, something far simpler! Examine his hat for a moment……Golf hat manufacturers, in their infinite wisdom and with an obvious hatred of mariners, have decided to add a magnet to the brim of their hats! (It’s for storing some sort of important accessory….) Needless to say, we flogged him until he promised to give up golf.

A sailing yacht is an unforgiving environment for your digital friends…

…Bumps, bashes and leaks all combine to threaten their appearance and functionality. But we can’t leave the little dears at home can we? In a modern world we rely on them so much, even luddites like me.

The answer? MAX cases!

Made in Italy, IP67 rated, completely waterproof, impact resistant and dust-free it will allow you to relax the next time the boat heels or the rain decides to pour. Protected in its’ safe cocoon you can relax knowing the crash below decks will not result in your iPhone exploding back to its’ component parts!

MAX cases are available from Walmark – maxstorerite.co.uk
