Stay Afloat is not even remotely a substitute for a softwood tapered plug for a through-hull fitting. The video is dangerously and insultingly misleading given how trivial those staged leaks are, juxtaposed with boats well past the stage where a little dab'll do ya.

Like that cracked fibreglass panel in the video would be panting in even the most modest sea. Tests show that it has little independent adhesion if well below the waterline or if the hole is large or is moving. Of course, in the vid it would have been more sensible to close the seacock but that's advertising. As you can see from the video, it does stop very low pressure leaks at the waterline in calm conditions. Stay Afloat is like a slightly improved plumber's putty.

The Marina has been requested to advise our readers about a new product on the market! You can order a copy direct from the author: he is en route back to Durban – so nab him for a copy when you next see him!) The advice that is given to them has been appreciated, especially when rounding the bottom of Madagascar or finding out the best conditions to cross the Agulhas Current whilst sailing west.įor more news from PERI PERI, check out: įor those of you who are interested in a good read about sailing, our very own Gilbert Goor has written “AND THE WIND CARRIED US”. The net is on the air twice a day, every day giving weather reports, routing advice, general navigation and safety precautions when they are sailing into our met area. This is our SSB radio net that we have been operating for the last 30 years. These sailors call us on the Peri Peri net, the base station being in Durban, with a relay station in Mozambique, Madagascar and Cape Town. It’s that time of the year again when the round the world cruisers start arriving from far off distant places. NSRI were called and met up with the boat and brought them into the harbor and onto the Marina.ĪHOY FROM THE PERI PERI MARITIME NET CONTROLLER, ROY COOK: On Tuesday afternoon (28th October) the yacht advised the Marina (via Roy Cook on Peri Peri Radio) that they had engine trouble and would require assistance. Be sure to support this new venture on the mole! We recommend the Toasted Bacon and Banana on whole wheat Next door to the Marina offices is a brand new Coffee Shop. Please check your Mooring lines: with the windy weather, there have been instances where these have failed. Please don’t forget to attend to your anchors, chains, ropes and shackles… This can be an inconvenience to other Yachties and can cause damage to their boats as well. Four dragged their anchors and one broke its mooring. During the last bad winds we had a problem with no less than five boats on the chains. Maintenance of ground tackle is entirely your own responsibility. A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO ALL THOSE ON CHAIN MOORINGS…
