- 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.

- Starlink is launching Personal Maritime for privately owned boats up to 40 feet: US$185 per month, with unlimited data in territorial waters worldwide.
- The 30-day limit on overseas use has been removed, but this only applies up to twelve nautical miles off the coast; beyond that, the more expensive Ocean Mode is required.
- The tariff is particularly good value for long voyages near the coast in small motorboats; deep-sea crossings remain costly, so alternative means of communication remain important.

- RidgeMonkey Connect Sandwich Toaster: two detachable aluminium pans with a non-stick coating – no need for a separate frying pan – includes heat-resistant cutlery, price 40 euros.  
- Space-saving, square cookware with removable, magnetic handles, suitable for toasts, omelettes and wraps in the galley.

- Shock absorbers relieve the strain on mooring lines and enhance comfort by converting sudden load peaks caused by swell and wind into smooth movements.
- The majority of the extension occurs under light loads of less than approximately 150 kg; from around 300 kg onwards, most shock absorbers provide only minimal additional stretch.
- Larger, bone-shaped models such as the U-Cleat provide the best shock absorption; clip-on and integrated systems are more practical but are usually less effective.

- Starlink Roam Unlimited can now only be used internationally for 30 consecutive days; the previous 60-day rule and Global Roam will be discontinued from August 2026.
- For long voyages and round-the-world trips, Starlink is becoming less predictable; Global Priority remains as an expensive but more comprehensive long-term option.
- Travel Registration, potential account changes, limited maritime coverage and throttled roaming speeds make longer voyages abroad more difficult.

- The Gill ‘Savona 2.0’ is a breathable, quick-drying deck shoe with reinforced toe and heel areas for greater stability.
- A new, non-slip and non-marking sole, together with an Air-Cell insole, is designed to improve grip and cushioning for everyday life on board and when ashore.
- Priced at 95 euros, the shoe is available in Navy and Quarry (sizes 39–47) and is cheaper than comparable models such as the Musto Dynamic Race and Zhik ZKG.

- Foldable silicone kettles save space in the galley and make less noise than metal kettles
- Example: The Adler 1279 has a capacity of 0.6 l, 230 V, 750 W, folds down to 9.5 cm, with a fold-away handle, approx. 21 euros

- Way2 is a 2-metre-long, 5-kg inflatable gangway made from drop-stitch PVC with an EVA surface, with a load capacity of 150 kg; it can be set up in under 4 minutes.  
- Compared to wooden gangways: significantly lighter, can be stowed compactly in a duffel bag, soft edges, but pressure-dependent and more susceptible to wind.  
- Can be used as a gangway, swimming platform or work platform; limited by its width of 50 cm, its length for large differences in height, and a maximum load of 150 kg.

- Lurch’s silicone baking mat with a raised edge contains dough and liquids, protects the oven and eliminates the need for greasing or baking paper  
- The platinum-silicone mat is non-stick, BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, heat-resistant up to 240 °C and costs 19.90 euros

- 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.
