 So, you have purchased a project sailboat, now its time to fix it up. But, if you have never done any repair work, painting, fiber glassing and all of the other tasks that come with fixing up a sailboat, then how do you learn. Well if you are like a lot of people in today's society you look around the internet for some how-to websites.
Myself, I was once a dreamer with my first project sailboat. I didn't know a whole lot about what I was doing. I had read a little bit hear and there on the internet and figured, "How hard could it be?" Once I got into the boat saw the different things that needed repair I quickly realized that I didn't have all the knowledge needed to fix the boat correctly. So I jumped on my computer and searched... and searched... then I searched a little more.

 Your guide to boat security.
Here is an overview of the options available:
What is monitored? Bilge water level - using a bilge-water alarm sensor. The simplest form is a float switch which can send a signal to a central alarm system.
Smoke and carbon monoxide - detectors can send a signal to the alarm control box.
Gas leak - using a gas detector with terminals for a gas cut off solenoid valve.
Intruder alarms - such as door switches and pressure mats.
Dinghy and outboard removal - using a continuity cable.
Geographical position - using GPS. A 'geo-fence' is created around the boat's position, when the boat leaves this area an alarm is triggered.

 Sails made from Custom Laminate are high-quality, durable cruising sails. They are finished to high standards and Offshore specifications.
The corner and reef patches are laminated onto the sail rather than just being sewn onto it. Not only is this a stronger way to reinforce the sail, this method also eliminates the risk of water penetrating between the layers of the hightech sailcloth. After completion, all seams are sealed with a liquid sealer to stop water from penetrating the laminate itself. All in all, they are strong sails, made to last.
