Great things for your boat
Thanks to Babbel for sponsoring today’s video. Go to https://strms.net/babbel_svfairisle to get up to 60% off your subscription today.
If there are any boat gadgets, or just generally useful things you’ve found to have aboard please do let us know and we will try to keep producing these videos of useful things to have aboard.
Here’s some details of the things we included in this video:
LED LIGHTS
The new LED strip lights I found are called Hegehe. They come in lengths from 1m to 10 metres and can be cut to size (every 3cm) They are low draw and 12v based so you can just throw away the mains plug and wire the controller into the boat (if you have a 12v boat) I show this in the lighting video. Here’s the link to the ones I found on Amazon UK:
BOURGERV Air Con.
We have a discount code from BourgeRV:
FAIR30 for 30% off until 31st August.
BougeRV 2899BTU Portable Air Conditioner
As well as the great little AC unit they also have a great line in high performance, low weight, super flexible solar panels.
KAMIKOTO KNIVES
We’ve been impressed by these high end Japanese knives, it’s always good to have proper knives on a boat.
FILM NIGHT
So here’s what we’re using for our film nights:
We have an Apeman projector. If you want to project onto a very large area like a sail then you might need a bigger projector.
The screen is this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01NBO2OML/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
Ours is a 40inch version, there is also a 50 inch version. This one is great as it’s self supporting (you can mount it on the floor and pull it up)
TEXTALE clothing
We were surprised, as you may have noticed, by this tee shirt. I really didn’t think it would perform quite as well as it did. If you want something that will stay looking good when normally you would be picking up messy marks then this is definitely worth a try. https://www.textale.tech/
