EQUIPMENT CAREFUL WITH YOUR EYES The spring is here! And with it comes sunshine, the sworn enemy of the beautiful eyes of the yachting fan. To protect yourself from the conditions of sunshine and dazzling reflections, the Cébé brand is offering frames fitted with category four sunglasses, with polarising (option) to limit reflections and with perforated side protectors, which stop them from fogging up. Protection, a lightweight design and air holes, available in three models: - Falko, adjustable, flexible side protections with air holes, with supple side arms and elastic strap. - Strix (photo), flexible side protections with air holes, adjustable bridge, elastic strap and compatible with optical clip on. - Cougar, adjustable efficient side arms, interchangeable lenses, adjustable bridge, elastic strap, compatible with optical clip on. PUT IT ON AND FORGET IT Ultra compact, practical and comfortable, the Deckvest life jacket and harness available from Spinlock is the result of the latest technology in terms of harness design and buoyancy. Simple to put on, light to wear at all times, it is fitted with an Aquaspec lamp, which should encourage sailors and yachtsmen to wear this safety equipment, even for short trips out on the water. JUST A FEW TURNS No more battery problems with renewable energy torches: lightweight and comfortable thanks to its adjustable strap, "the headband" requires 1 minute of turning to ensure thirty minutes of lighting. Fitted with a 180° adjustable beam, the torch can work with three or five LEDs. Its fluorescent handle allows you to spot it in the dark and its magnetic back means you can fix it at the required height. 5 minutes of turning offers 1h20 of power for 3 LEDs, or 35 minutes for 5 LEDs. Can be folded up, and is fitted with an alarm system, "the lantern" works with 9 or 15 LEDs. The dynamo system can even recharge your mobile; you just turn for two minutes to obtain the same length of conversation. A true delight for those working out on deck. Sold by Nature & Découvertes NEW GENERATION ELECTRONICS TIC TOCK TACTIC Audemars Piguet, partner of the Defender in the America’s Cup, offers their latest creation: the Royal Oak Offshore Alinghi Team Chronograph available as a limited edition of …2007. Designed in a material never before used in timepieces, because of its resistant and lightweight properties, this chronograph, watertight to a depth of 100 metres, is made of forged carbon. Designed to withstand shocks, it marks the union between the world of sailing and watch making. Specially conceived for America’s Cup yachtsmen, it offers a "flyback" time function as well as a 10-second countdown. The new generation of B&G Instruments and pilots has arrived. Based on the H2000, many improvements have been made to satisfy racers and weekend sailors. In this range, you can find FFDs, GFDs, pilots and some analogue dials. A special manufacturing process, which eliminates any risk of condensation and guarantees total watertight properties, offers easier and faster calibration procedures, as they are automatic and fully integrated and there is also an easy to use menu.
