Equipment

- Extensive collection of on-board recipes from hearty seafood to vegan and vegetarian dishes, many as one-pot or ready to prepare.
- Consideration of conditions on board: limited space, energy consumption, shelf life of provisions and simple, quick preparation in rough seas.
- Focus on safety when cooking: non-slip workstations, safe cookers and pots, economical water consumption and consistent waste avoidance.

Cooking on board: 28 recipes for sailors that taste good and fill you up

- SVB has extensively remodelled the Kiel shop (1,000 m²) and is presenting a new boutique concept with a maritime design.
- From 9 to 11 April 2026, a programme of splicing workshops, brand consultants, a DGzRS stand and a food truck will be held to mark the reopening.
- The shop offers an optimised product range, improved orientation and still has its own rigging shop for rope work.

SVB branch in Kiel modernised: Opening weekend with event character

- Regular washing with a 30 °C gentle cycle and functional detergent maintains breathability and does not damage the membrane.
- Air dry in the shade or briefly at a low temperature in the tumble dryer, heat reactivates the DWR impregnation; no fabric softener, no bleach.
- If the beading effect diminishes, re-impregnation is required on clean oilskins; store in a clean, dry, hanging, cool and dark place out of direct sunlight.

Oilskins: the right care for functional clothing

- Axiom 2 offers a six-core processor, faster map rendering, gigabit network, HydroTough display and LightHouse Charts GEN 2.
- Two models: Basic without sonar and RV version with 600 W CHIRP sonar incl. DownVision, SideVision and RealVision 3D for detailed subsurface visualisation.

Raymarine Axiom 2: Faster plotter with new nautical charts

- Navimetrix offers cross-platform, professional weather routing with isochrones, interactive routing, AI briefings and strong AIS integration.  
- Sea charts come separately via GeoGarage as raster charts with regional subscriptions, without seamless country transitions and with sometimes cumbersome handling.  
- Premium costs €79.99/year plus GeoGarage from €25/region and is aimed at regatta and ambitious cruising sailors as a cheaper professional alternative.

Navigation: Navimetrix - weather routing app with AI support and a huge range of functions

- BlueCool-VX is a speed-controlled chiller system with precise load management and high efficiency for yachts to superyachts.  
- Titanium heat exchangers and three ECO modes ensure durability, finely adjustable performance and low energy consumption during harbour and sea stays.  
- Modular combination of up to six units (36-120 BTU/h); example Lagoon Eighty 2 with pre-installed plug-and-play modules to reduce installation work.

Air conditioning: Modular cooling technology with high efficiency

Electronics

- For safe sailing in the cold season, the layering principle (baselayer, midlayer, hardshell) is decisive, not a single item of clothing.  
- Baselayers made from functional fibres or merino wool wick away moisture; midlayers insulate and play a key role, hardshells protect against wind and wet conditions.  
- Additional protection for the head, hands and feet with a hat, gloves, boots and thermal pads reduces heat loss and increases comfort on board.

Onion principle: start spring warm and dry

- Lightweight water sports sunglasses (26 g) with Bio-TR90 frame (45 % organic materials), rubber nose pads and sports hinges.  
- Polarised V52 polyamide lenses (ABBE 52) with 100 % UV400 protection, category 3, VLT 9-16 %, available in several tints.  
- Designed for water sports such as sailing, motor boating or e-foiling; several frame colours, price around 100 euros.

Vallon Ventures: Sunglasses for sailors

- Sea boots age in the cupboard: soles harden, lose grip and suddenly slip away from an incline of 12-14° - acute risk of falling.  
- Grinding brittle soles only improves grip to a limited extent (e.g. from 13° to 25°) and is only suitable as a short-term emergency solution at best.  
- Repair depends on the sole construction: Shell soles often cannot be repaired, flat soles can usually be replaced; costs 60-120 euros.
