<title>Hydrovane for Sale</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p>Greetings all,</p><p>As I mentioned in another recent post, we have recently acquired a Nauticat 32. What didn't get mentioned last time is that we bought her from a remarkable sailor who was preparing her for his next single-handed circumnavigation, - even though he was in his 90s. &nbsp;One of the key pieces of offshore gear he added was a hydrovane. &nbsp;This is a wonderful piece of kit, but far beyond our needs. &nbsp;Our respected predecessor ran into some health issues before casting off, so my understanding is that the hydrovane has never been used on the deep sea, and I'm not even sure that it had a sea trial in its local waters. &nbsp;However, it has been baked in the Texas sun for something like 5 years, and a neighbour had an awkward docking experience that led to a "good-as-new" repair in 2023. &nbsp;</p><p>Looking at current pricing, a new one appears to sell for over $8,500 CAD, before tax. &nbsp;For us, clear access to the steps on our sugar-scoop stern will be more helpful than a Hydrovane. &nbsp;Besides, this classy device deserves to be on a boat headed for blue water. &nbsp;</p><p>Because of the age, sun, and (successful) repair, we propose a 1/2 new cost asking price of $4,250 CAD. We would consider offers, and might consider a trade for a quality hypalon inflatable.</p><p>Happy sailing!</p><p>Jim &amp; Anne</p><p>S.V. Suksma</p>]]></description>

<title>16,000 BTU Dometic Air Conditioner for sale</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p>We purchased a Nauticat 32 in Texas, where air conditioning is a must. &nbsp;The listing described the A/C &nbsp;unit as "New". &nbsp;It sure didn't look like that to us! &nbsp;But it certainly did work every time &amp; when we last tried it. &nbsp;However, now that we are in BC, we need the space for other gear much more than we need an air conditioner. &nbsp;I'd guess the basic gear was worth ~ $4k+ USD before extra bits and installation. &nbsp;If someone is heading South and has the desire and room for A/C, we are quite open to offers.</p><p></p><p>We also are willing to part with a Hydrovane c/w an "A" bracket, but that is a story for another post.</p><p>Happy sailing!</p>]]></description>

2 clip, 1 loop, stretch DW-STR/3L/C model

A two-point tether system is essential for any movement on deck or foredeck. The 1m or 2m tether points allow the wearer to move freely around the boat while always connected to the boat.

The shorter length is useful to reduce the falling distance when working in an exposed position or attached to the high side. A loop attached with a cow hitch reduces the weight of the tether on the harness and eradicates any risk of accidental unclipping.

A loop confirms a secure attachment when using the tether for long periods of time.

Features:
-Up to 50% lighter and more compact than conventional safety lines
-Easy to use lightweight forged clips with wide opening gate
-Webbing "Dry Coated" to reduce water absorption &amp; stay lighter for longer
-Overload Indicator
-Yachting Australia and World Sailing OSR-compliant
-The DW-STR/3L/C is compliant with section 5.02.2 of the Offshore Special Regulations. ALL crew members to have a tether with 3 points of attachment for Category 0,1,2 &amp; 3 races

This lifejacket was designed in partnership with the Volvo Ocean Race, and the feedback from racers resulted in them making not only the safest, but the most comfortable lifejacket out there. 

Fit, light weight and weight-distribution are so good you hardly notice you have it on - was literally designed to be a lifejacket "crews wanted to wear more often". Doesn't impede movement at all and can easily/quickly be swung on or off even over foul weather gear. 

Lifejacket has a crotch strap that stashes away in an elastic pocket on the back when not in use. 

Lifejacket has all of the latest and greatest in safety features including:
-Hammar automatic Hydrostatic Inflation (replaceable Firing Cap expires in 2029)
-Harness Release System (HRS)  
-reflective / luminescent elements
-a spray hood
-the Pylon 360 degree light
-the MOB1 AIS unit can be fit as an add-on. 

The Deckvest Vito is approved to the following standards: CE Approved, ISO 12402-3 170N Lifejacket, ISO 12401 Deck Harness, Pylon Light ISO 12402-8 and Sprayhood ISO 12402-8.

Size: 170N Buoyancy, one-size fits all

Condition: Good. No cuts/damage, never deployed or immersed in saltwater, always rinsed with freshwater and dried before storage.

Accessories: 
-The chest pack accessory gives you such a handy and accessible pocket you'll want to wear the lifejacket, if even just to have such a handy place to stash your phone (it's near water tight), snacks, and even little bits/parts you might need to carry or stash while doing repairs at sail/sea!
-mesh hanging/drying bags
-Optional: Spinlock Performance Safety Lines (Tether): Top-of the line lightweight compact safety lines to secure yourself to strong points or jacklines (2 clip, 1 loop, stretch DW-STR/3L/C model). Will include if interested for an extra $55.
