Equipment

- Morphéis is a GPS anchor buoy from Mooring Solution that measures the position directly at the anchor, thereby reducing false alarms caused by the boat’s swaying.  
- The buoy is secured by a Dyneema line with a spring mechanism, transmits a signal up to 100 metres to the receiver, runs on solar power for up to 72 hours and triggers an alarm if it drifts more than 4 metres.  
- The system costs €1,499 and is aimed at frequent anchorage users, whilst traditional anchoring apps such as Ankeralarm or Anchor Pro are significantly cheaper alternatives.

- EasyHub connects the NMEA2000 on-board network to Wi-Fi, displays on-board data via a web browser, works with navigation apps and costs 599 euros with no subscription fees.  
- Features: instrument and chart views with AIS, alarms (depth, wind, heading, anchor, AIS collision, MOB), logbook, route recording and Boat Polar.  
- The cloud service allows remote access and track sharing; local range 15–30 m; supports up to 10 devices; installation takes approx. 15 minutes; power consumption not specified.

- On 10 July 2026, Garmin will launch three LiveScope 2 transducers with up to 50 per cent higher resolution and no separate black box, priced from €2,199.99.
- The LVS44, LVS42HD and ice-fishing variant cover a range of depths and applications, all featuring Forward, Down and Perspective modes.
- Integrated sensors, improved processors, noise reduction and a higher refresh rate ensure a more stable, detailed sonar display.

- G8-Tough solar modules utilise ‘Shadow Optimised-IQ’, which isolates shaded areas and reduces energy losses without the need for diodes.
- Walkable panels featuring SunPower Maxeon cells, a copper base and a carbon-reinforced sandwich core protect against micro-cracks.
- Two ranges: Standard (21–111 W, 139–499 €) and Performance (39–126 W, 239–1,049 €), both also available as ‘Black Edition’.

Solar power: Smart cells for more solar power

- Erste vollständig wasserdichte IP67-Drohne, schwimmfähig, unter 249 g, Steuerung per Lighthouse-Armband mit präzisem GPS-Tracking.
- Stärken: zuverlässiger Wasserstart, Turtle-Funktion, robust für Wassersport und Nahaufnahmen; Schwächen: Reichweite, Handling an Bord, lauter Flug.
- Videoqualität solide, Fotoqualität enttäuschend, kurze Flugzeit, hoher Preis; für Segler nur für Nahaufnahmen sinnvoll, nicht für Yacht-Totalen.

Technology

- Eight on-board gadgets enhance comfort and organisation, with a focus on practicality in terms of connectivity, drinks, navigation and music.
- Protective and comfort products such as inshore oilskins, sunglasses and fishing hats offer breathability, UV protection and weather protection on board.
- Flexible mounts and holders (tablet holders, cup holders, drink holders, Bluetooth speakers) keep devices and drinks secure even when the boat heels or moves.

Gadgets: Handy aids for a summer sailing trip

- The Silwy magnetic system secures glasses and cups to metal mats in the cupboard, reducing clattering and dirty rims whilst saving space; from around 60 euros.  
- An adapter hose with a pressure regulator connects gas barbecues to the large, refillable Campingaz on-board cylinder instead of 450-gram cartridges.  
- Advantages: less waste, only one gas system to monitor, more storage space and, in some cases, cost savings; the Cadac adapter set (85 cm) costs 34.95 euros.

- Water quality on board depends on the entire system comprising the tank, pipework, filters, preservation treatment and pump, not just the tank itself.  
- Multi-stage post-tank filters (mechanical, activated carbon, hollow fibre or UV-C) protect against particles, germs and off-flavours, but require maintenance.  
- The choice of filter stages and pump capacity depends on the sailing area, usage profile and tank hygiene; filters cannot compensate for neglected tanks.

Life on board

- The CO₂-powered Leak Stop Gun S seals hull openings in seconds using an EPDM balloon, replacing conventional leak plugs.  
- The standard LSG 150 balloon seals leaks measuring 50–130 mm; with the Flextube and LSG 400, openings of 120–350 mm can be sealed.  
- Housing (0.7 kg) made of stainless steel, aluminium or brass; suitable for use at depths of up to 20 m, temperatures from -15 to 95/100 °C; the device is reusable, whilst the balloons must be replaced after use.

Unfall: Explosion während der Kieler Woche

- Handy thermal imaging monocular for maritime authorities, detects human heat signatures at up to 1000 metres in complete darkness.  
- 640×480 thermal sensor with high sensitivity, 35 mm lens, 18° field of view, digital magnification up to 8×, robust IP67 housing and 6 hours battery life.  
- Four colour palettes, WLAN streaming to the FLIR Responder app, internal 16 GB memory for >1000 images/videos, price 3399 US dollars, available immediately.

Safety on board

Emergency drone: Fire brigade rescues with Restube drop

- Jährlich werden bei SVB in Bremen rund 5.500 Rettungswesten gewartet, wobei Fachwissen und handwerkliches Können entscheidend sind.
- Die Wartung umfasst detaillierte Prüfungen und den Austausch von Teilen, um im Ernstfall die Funktionalität sicherzustellen.
- In Deutschland gibt es keine Pflicht zur Wartung von Rettungswesten auf Sportbooten, was zu einem geringen Rücklauf führt.

Report: This is what happens during lifejacket maintenance

- A suitable, sturdy trailer with sufficient load capacity is essential for safety, handling and the reliable launching of fishing boats.  
- Features such as side guides, centring aids, suitable rollers or bunks, as well as footrests and ladders, make launching easier in day-to-day use.  
- Maintenance after launching, for example via flushing points for brakes and axles, is particularly important following contact with sand, silt, brackish or salt water.

Technology: Why the right boat trailer is so important for anglers

- Jährliche Sicherheits- und Funktionsprüfung von Bootsanhängern vor Saisonstart ist essenziell, um Defekte und Mängel zu vermeiden.
- Reifen sollten nicht älter als sechs Jahre sein; regelmäßige Kontrolle auf Risse und korrekten Reifendruck ist notwendig.
- Wichtige Prüfungen umfassen Radlager, Beleuchtung, Abreißseil, Schweißnähte und korrosionsgefährdete Teile.
