By Richard Romando


If you�re a new boat owner, you obviously need accessories. Before you launch your boat there are certain accessories that are essential for on the water and on shore. Accessories include, boating radios, safety equipment, fish finders, seats, blinds and carpeting. Accessories used to dock and anchor your craft are also very important items. There are several kinds of docking ropes available. Anchors must be heavy enough to keep the craft moored, but not too heavy to increase the overall weight of the boat when sailing.

There are also boating accessories that allow you to personalize your craft. There are hundreds of accessories that can give your boat a unique look that reflects your personality. Lighting, marine fixtures and hinges can be custom designed to your specifications, and you can decide what you want changed on your boat or what you�d like to keep the same.

Jetboats were originally designed by Sir William Hamilton (who developed a waterjet in 1954) for operation in the fast-flowing and shallow rivers of New Zealand, specifically to overcome the problem of propellers striking rocks in such waters.

If the Jetsons owned a yacht, it would probably look a lot like the Maltese Falcon. The prized possession of Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tom Perkins, the Maltese Falcon is like a sailing computer, equipped with fiber-optic networks, microprocessors and touch screens that have converted the brain and muscle of sailing into a computerized control panel. Now, the only manpower required to hoist and lower its 26,000 square feet of sails is a touch of a button. Likewise, the football-field-sized yacht completed in spring of 2006 is the most expensive and technologically advanced of its kind today. With a price tag hovering around $130 million, the Maltese Falcon navigates more like a video game than a 1,367-ton boat. But Perkins isn't stopping there. He's working on a sports submarine to house on the Maltese Falcon in case he ever wants to play with some whales or manatees deep in the ocean. Think of it as his version of a jet ski.

Used a similar tool many years ago - it was a very useful , especially when repairing a genoa on my sailing yacht where the clew's grommet/cringle had pulled out - this one looks similar. Seems expensive but I guess if it is strongly built it and because it might have an easy life, it should last the life of your boat. Over time it could turn out to save a lot of journeys to the sailmaker.
