inflatables, kayaks & fun comparisons

Inflatable kayaks An inflatable kayak fits in a trunk or a stern locker. To pick well, look at your use, the hull material, capacity and the inflation system. See comparison → Inflatable dinghies A good tender gets you from the anchorage to shore safely. Look at the fabric, floor type, maximum horsepower rating and the weight you'll have to stow. See comparison → Inflatable paddle boards An inflatable paddle board fits in a locker and turns every anchorage into an outing. Look at size, volume, construction and what's in the package. See comparison → Electric air pumps Inflating a kayak or board by hand is exhausting. A good electric pump does it in minutes: look at maximum pressure, airflow, power source and auto shut-off. See comparison → Boat shoes On a wet deck, footwear is safety gear: the sole, the material and the fit decide whether you slip. Here's how to pick the right pair for the way you sail. See comparison → Boat fishing rods The right rod depends on your technique, the depth and the fish you're after, not the price tag. Here is how to pick length, action and power. See comparison → Boat launching dollies A good launching dolly lets one person launch and haul out a small boat. Choose by total weight, hull type and ramp surface. See comparison → Polarized sunglasses On the water, glare tires and fools your eyes. Good polarized sunglasses cut the glare and block UV; what matters is the lens treatment, the tint and the fit. See comparison → Towable tubes A towable tube is guaranteed fun if you pick it well. What matters most is the number of riders, the tow rope, your boat's horsepower and safety practices. See comparison → Wetsuits A well-chosen wetsuit keeps you warm and moving. It comes down to the right thickness for the water temperature, the cut and a snug fit. See comparison → Snorkel gear Snorkeling is the easiest way to see the bottom from your boat. A good mask, a comfortable snorkel and well-fitted fins make the difference between enjoying it and giving up after ten minutes. See comparison →
