How does a Wetsuit really works?
By keeping water out. Any water that gets inside the suit is going to leak out again. When the water is inside it absorbs some of your body heat. When it leaves it takes that heat with it. A good fit, one that feels equally snug everywhere, is important, so the space the water wants to use to flow along your skin is as small as possible.
Providing Insulation Against Heat Loss
A little science here: solids and liquids conduct heat well; gases do not. Air, for examp...

Choosing the Right Lifejacket/Buoyancy Aid
It is important when buying a buoyancy aid/lifejacket that you pick the correct CE Category to suit your type of activity and experience.

Where as a lifejacket may help if the wearer is unconscious or unable to help themselves and is almos...

How cold it is.

7 Pin Lighting Connections (12N)
Trailer lights in the UK are normallly connected using a 7 pin plug and socket known as a 12N using a black cable. If you look at a socket or plug you should be able to see the pin lables (1-7). In some cases and more often in Europe the trailer light will be connected using a 13 pin plug and socket. If you have a 13 pin socket fitted to your vehicle we have an adaptor to plug in so you can use a normal 7 pin plug.
The table below with the diagram explain the connec...

So when it comes to sailing we all know that staying warm is critical to a happy sail- and in theory, we know that a drysuit is strategic to the attainment of this ‘warm place’.
Right?
Yes!.. But if we take a closer look at understanding the science and processes involved with the heating and sustaining systems whilst on the water. You as a Sailor will have a much better insight in how to get warm, stay warm and triumph in staying comfortable, whilst enduring the elements.
So how does a d...

If you’ve found this page because you are looking to make some sense of what an ILCA or Laser is or what is class legal or not then I’ll try and put your mind at rest.
In 1971 the Laser dinghy was unveiled and has become the most successful dinghy in history with over 200, 000 boats around the world and to cut a long complicated story short in 2019 there was a falling out between various involved parties with the class association taking control of the class and finding new boat builders. In this ta...
