- The 48-metre-long test platform ‘Modularis’ was launched in Flensburg and will be fitted out in Bremerhaven by 2027.
- As a floating laboratory, it is intended to test new and, in some cases, uncertified propulsion systems, sensor technology and automation systems under seagoing conditions.
- A digital twin will complement real-world testing, with up to 20 people able to carry out missions lasting up to seven days in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Mediterranean.

- An anchor sling takes the strain off the windlass and absorbs jolts caused by swell and gusts when mooring motorboats.  
- The SnubberBuddy is a quick-release fastener for 8-, 10- and 12-mm anchor chains; it releases the sling from the chain via a release line, thereby increasing safety.  
- Working load 1,375 kg, breaking load 5,500 kg, price 249 euros; the sling is considered a safety-critical component of a complete anchoring rig.

- TriSonic uses ultrasound to measure speed through the water, depth, temperature and list/trim, and does not require a paddle wheel that is prone to maintenance.  
- The data (0.1–35 knots, 0.6–100 m depth) is transmitted via NMEA 2000 to chartplotters and instruments and is designed for retrofitting on networked yachts.  
- Depth offsets and the log can be calibrated via Bluetooth and the app, including heel angles and speed readings, which are stored directly in the sensor.

- Comprehensive collection of recipes suitable for on board: hearty classics, salads, one-pot and one-burner dishes, vegetarian, vegan and with meat/fish.  
- Special focus on seafood variations, dishes that can be prepared in advance, barbecue tips and dishes that can be reheated or eaten cold.  
- Detailed safety tips for cooking on board: seaworthy galley, saving energy, food and waste management, water consumption and sea conditions.

- Volamare offers a 1.6 kg bimini (2.60 x 1.70 m, approx. 4.5 m² of shade) without a frame, featuring Kevlar-reinforced air tubes, for 2,975 euros.  
- The focus is on portable, seasonal sun protection without fixed fittings, particularly for cramped cockpits, foredecks and charter yachts.  
- Before making a purchase decision, it is crucial to clarify any outstanding questions regarding attachment, permissible wind speeds, performance in gusts or rain, and the pump supplied with the product.

Life on board

- RAMBSS is a modular, stackable safety system for charging and storing lithium batteries for water toys on superyachts, with a capacity of up to 5.25 kWh per module.  
- The system mitigates the consequences of thermal runaway through temperature monitoring, charge cut-off, a fire suppression and cooling system, and a gas filter linked to an alarm.  
- RAMBSS has received type approval and will be able to meet the requirements of the UK’s MGN 681 for yachts 24 metres in length and over from 1 January 2027.

- Clear crew instructions before the manoeuvre improve safety and prevent a rush when mooring and casting off in port.
- The Voxtob Manoeuvre Box provides a hands-on visualisation of harbour manoeuvres, facilitates briefings and helps to engage newcomers in particular without the pressure of time.
- The Manoeuvre Box is no substitute for practical experience on the water, but it can help to structure procedures; the S version costs 49 euros, whilst the larger version costs 64 euros.

- Firemill is a compact CO₂ quick-response extinguisher for small, incipient fires, ideal as an additional galley extinguisher on motorboats.  
- Advantages: residue-free extinguishing agent, easy to use; disadvantages: extinguishing time of only around eight seconds, does not meet EN 3 fire-rating standards.  
- It is not a substitute for a standard fire extinguisher, is not suitable for engine rooms or confined spaces, and CO₂ poses a risk of suffocation below deck.

Safety on board

- A 65-year-old woman fell overboard on Lake Constance during a storm and was found dead the following day near Langenargen
- Around 200 emergency personnel from Germany, Austria and Switzerland searched for the missing woman; the search was called off in the evening
- Lake Constance has a two-tier storm warning system with orange flashing lights; water sports enthusiasts are urged to pay close attention to these signals

- Following a line entanglement, there is a risk of hidden damage to the propulsion system, leading to vibrations, leaks and a loss of power.
- Specialist workshops recommend removing the propeller and shaft, checking for deformation and inspecting the coupling, gearbox, bearings and seals.
- Even minor damage can lead to imbalance and consequential damage, potentially resulting in a breakdown; repairs to complex propulsion systems can quickly run into five figures.

- 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.
