Stuff That Works
One of the major frustrations for us as full-time cruisers is that so much of the gear available for yachts is second-rate. Either it doesn't work the way it is advertised to or it works for a short time and then disintegrates under the demands of full-time use in a salt water environment. See our Gear Failures & Fixes page for more on this.
However, we don't want to just harp on the negative so on this page we present the positive angle. The following links will take you to a list, divided by area, of equipment and services that we have found work reliably and/or that have made a significant contribution to our cruises of the high latitudes.
Note that we are not being compensated in any way for commending these companies or individuals. If we have received any sponsorship or support we'll let you know in our discussion of that company or individual.
