Day 14 of our Advent calendar toolbox: the Hammer. Nails are uncommon aboard, but used subtly, a hammer will help unseize parts or adjust alignments. Can you think of other uses?

Tip: Use a sacrificial wooden block/board to avoid damaging surfaces.

Day 13 of our Advent calendar toolbox: the Hot knife. Seals the end of lines by melting the fibers together.

Tip: Terminating your lines so they don't fray is best done by first wrapping some tape around the line and cutting through the tape.

Day 12 of our Advent calendar toolbox: the Utility knife. Trims canvas, rope, tape, and insulation.

Tip: Make sure you retract the blade as soon as you're done cutting. Accidents easily occur on a boat. Better be safe than sorry!

⛵ Copropriétaires de bateau : Arrêtez de vous prendre la tête !

Acheter un bateau à plusieurs, c’est génial… si on s’organise bien ! Entre "au fait j’ai pris le bateau ce week-end", "qui paie la réparation ?", et "tu as bien fait l’entretien ?", la copropriété peut vite tourner au cauchemar.

Seal and glue almost effortlessly depending on your choice of cartridge.

Tip: You won't regret buying a heavy duty tool. The triggers on flimsy ones tend to bend and fail.

Comment frapper un cordage sur un point fixe ?

Les nœuds d'amarrage créent une connexion dynamique qui peut être mise sous tension, déplacée et relâchée. La charge peut alors être transférée à l'objet.

Quelles sont les qualités d'un bon nœud d'amarrage ? Et lequel choisir ? 🪢
