New Cover Options for Bigger Boats

At SavvyBoater, we help- a lot of boaters find the perfect boat cover.  Periodically we get calls from folks with sport or cabin cruisers in the 25-30 foot range, looking for a boat cover.  In many cases the boat is equipped with a radar arch.  Although we work with 3 of the top brands on the market, we haven't had options for these larger boats.  Carver Industries recently came out with a unique new line of boat covers designed specifically for cruisers with radar arches. 

The covers accommodate a 120" beam and lengths from 24' to 30'.  Each cover has a 100" long slot with hook and loop (think Velcro) closure that will accommodate a radar arch and a bimini top.  The design will handle bow rails up to 30" and a cut-out in the bow accommodates an anchor roller.  Rope ratchets are included to tighten the rope in the cover's hem for a snug fit. 

If you're looking for a cover for your cabin cruiser, visit our boat covers page or give us a call at 866-560-1330, we're happy to help you explore your options.

We also offer a number of other products that will help you outfit our cabin cruiser including Polyform fenders and stainless steel rail mount fender baskets.  We offer a selection of anchor windlasses by Quick and Maxwell, and a wide range of stainless steel ladders.  We also offer the Solas and PowerTech lines of propellers to fit most outdrive applications.

Sustainable Boating - Solar Powered Boat Turanor is traveling around the world

I recently ran across the PlanetSolar project to sail the boat Turanor around the world.  51 days into the voyage they have crossed the Atlantic, leaving from Monaco and are currently in the Caribbean near the island of St. Maarten.  The expedition crossed the Atlantic in 25 days. 

The Turanor is a 31 meter catamaran with a 23 meter beam including the solar "flaps"  weighing 95 tons, she carries 537 square meters of solar panel that offer 18.8% efficiency.  It's a pretty amazing undertaking, circumnavigating the world on solar power, stopping in major ports along the way to spread the word on solar power and sustainable options.  Their two major stopovers in the US will be in Miami and San Francisco.

You can check out the project at  http://www.planetsolar.org/index.en.php.  The site offers a lot of information, some great pictures, videos and interactive tracking applications.  It's well done and worth a visit.
