Product News The Sailing GPS is an innovative


new portable designed specifically for sailing. Just enter the directions of the wind and your destination, and presto, your optimal tacking angles are displayed. Add information like boat length, wind speed, and distance to the waypoint, to get a unique read-out of the Tacking Time to Destination™ and distance on each tack. Standard GPS chartplotters do not account for the fact that sailboats need to


A common sailboat aggravation is


protecting the engine control panel in your cockpit from the ravages of sun and rain. There are countless ways to enclose it in a box or construct a pseudo- window to shield it from the elements. Unfortunately, these options are often inconvenient and unattractive. Some sailors buy a new panel, which may be difficult for older models. Now there is an inexpensive and


elegant solution that both looks good and works well — the PanelVisor™


. IntelligentBoatCare announces two


new products; AShipShapeSailboat and AShipShapeMotorboat. Using Anticipated Event Forecasting, the Shipshape software products predict and manage what maintenance is due and when. A customizable and intuitive graphical interface makes the software easy and a pleasure to use. Detailed maintenance schedules have


A simple and clever solution to


increasing the cooking area, the Boaties Fry Pan is a pan designed specifically for use on boats and recreational vehicles. The rectangular form provides significantly more “cooking- space.” This is the first time that the product - which is a huge success in Europe and down under – is available in North America. The 10” x 8” frying pan is made of

handle with an oven-proof silicone rubberized grip minimizes the overhang from the stove, while the sloped front


zig-zag upwind. But if they don't know sailboats tack, they don't know how far you are actually traveling to get to your waypoint. And without knowing that distance, obviously it is impossible to calculate the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) correctly. The Sailing GPS solves this


problem. The Sailing GPS also has a


special artificial intelligence program


for learning the unique performance for your individual vessel on all points of sail (the “polar plot”). Polar


Lowtide


plots are sometimes simulated by velocity prediction software, and some manufacturers provide these specifications for a new model of boat. However, that doesn't account for the fact that even with two skippers having the exact same model of boat, one may be weighed down with anchors and cruising gear, while the other has new sails and a smooth hull for racing. The Sailing GPS provides individual polar plots for each vessel, to provide the most accurate projections of the shortest arrival times and optimal tacking angles. For more information check

A clear plastic shield to protect Yanmar B-type panels from weathering. The PanelVisor™


is made of Lexan


with UV protective coating on both sides. Tachometer and indicator lights are clearly visible, with easy access to the ignition switch and stop button. The visor attaches directly to the panel using its existing holes. Its low profile design means no obstructions in the cockpit; it protrudes less than the key does.

And when you can’t remember where you stored the part that you need, the program will even tell you where you put it! Now you can do your


planning at home on your computer and arrive at the boat ready to get to work. For more information contact www.intelligentboatcare.com


edge makes it easy to slide hot food off the pan. Pouring hot liquids is easy and accurate, using one of the corners as a spout. You can now fit a full size frying


pan on your stove at the same time as a kettle, a large pot or even a second Boaties Fry Pan. An optional Stainless steel, domed


lid is now available for the pan and increases the cooking functionality greatly. For more information check www.salishboatsupply.com
