The Rocna Anchors range of popular boat anchors has been expanded with the development of a new improved version of the original Rocna anchor. The Rocna Mk II anchor is based on the same design pattern as the Rocna Original but refines and upgrades all elements for increased holding performance and strength.
Peter Smith, lifetime sailor, boatbuilder, and designer of the Rocna Anchors range, has been working on his new anchor development for years. “I want to keep improving anchoring for boaters, by applying good engineering fundamentals and taking advantage of the more sophisticated manufacturing methods we have access to now”, said Smith. “The original Rocna is a superb anchor and now well proven with great adoption - the question for me was always could we improve on it?”

Water automation hits new heights
Raymarine delivers Axiom 2 XL Glass Bridge Chartplotters
Raymarine has announced the availability of Axiom® 2 XL, a sophisticated line of glass bridge chartplotters for premium yachts and integrated helm solutions. The largest and most powerful navigation displays in the award-winning Axiom family, Axiom 2 XL offers superior performance and the elegant simplicity of Raymarine’s LightHouse operating system.
Designed to grace the helms of luxury cruisers and premium sailing yachts, the Axiom 2 XL portfolio is available in 16-, 19-, 22- and 24-inch sizes. Each display features Raymarine’s exclusive HydroToughTM nano-coated display technology that repels water and oils for reliable touchscreen operation in the most challenging conditions.
Axiom 2 XL screens are designed around a new six-core processor, offering responsive performance and a 30% increase in navigation chart speed and rendering. For customers looking to create a glass bridge helm solution, Axiom 2 XL offers extensive networking and video options, including NMEA2000 and three Power-Over-Ethernet ports for integrating multiple Axiom displays, video cameras, radar, and sonar modules. These high-performance chartplotter displays also feature extended multimedia capabilities, including analogue audio output, HDMI input/output, and touchscreen pass-through for integrating onboard PC applications, engine interfaces, and digital switching solutions.
Water Freedom’s new Smart system builds on the company’s OneTouch system, designed to take the automation of water management and the filtration process to a new level. The product has a touch screen display that can be programmed to show the estimated number of days or litres before a filter change is needed, as well as alert the user when a problem is detected.
“The system can be set to run during acceptable hours,” explained John Howard, head of Water Freedom.
“It could be that users only want the system to run early morning or when the boat is in a power neutral fashion. It can be programmed to whatever choices the users want.”
The system has flow sensors that keep track of water flowing to and from the water tank as well as the real-time water production rate. The sensors also enable the system to automatically replenish the tank whenever the specified quantity of water has been used.
The system also incorporates safeguards that have been built into the software to prevent flooding and to protect the domestic battery bank.
