Equipment: Clever gadgets for a summer sailing trip

- G8-Tough solar modules utilise ‘Shadow Optimised-IQ’, which uses a microprocessor to isolate shaded areas, thereby reducing energy losses

- The Hoverair Aqua is an IP67-rated waterproof drone (<249 g, Class C0); it takes off and floats on water, and is tracked precisely via the Lighthouse wristband.  
- Strengths: robust, buoyant, good video stabilisation, close to the action of water sports; Weaknesses: short range, noisy operation, awkward landing on board.  
- Photo quality and battery life are disappointing; no live feed in automatic mode; an expensive niche gadget for sailors, better suited to close-up video than high-quality photos.

Review: Hoverair Aqua – putting the waterproof drone to the test

- The GLOMEX Nashira AGC DAB is a DVB-T/DVB-T2 omnidirectional aerial with automatic gain control (AGC) for boats  
- The antenna receives DVB-T, DVB-T2 and DAB; with the optional V9147 splitter, it also receives AM/FM, making a separate radio antenna unnecessary  
- Flat, shark-fin-like design (Ø 370 mm, height 55 mm), vertical polarisation, reinforced base, available in white and black

GLOMEX Nashira AGC: A satellite dish not just for the World Cup

- Geoblocking blocks World Cup streams abroad, as broadcasters usually only acquire broadcasting rights for specific countries and check IP addresses.  
- VPNs route connections via servers in the desired country, thereby bypassing geographical restrictions, and can be used on many devices and routers.  
- VPN use is generally permitted in the EU, but circumventing geo-blocking is considered a grey area; illegal free streams carry legal risks.

TV on board: Streaming the 2026 World Cup whilst abroad

Electronics

- Germany kicks off the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup on Sunday at 7 pm in Houston against Curaçao, live on ARD and Magenta TV.

- A range of fan merchandise will be presented to create a World Cup atmosphere on the water, from sunglasses, bucket hats and drinking bottles to bunting, cardboard tableware and beer glasses.

- Der Cuba Libre entstand nach 1898, als US-Einfluss Kuba Cola und Rum zusammenbrachte und mit „Freies Kuba“ assoziiert wurde.  
- Der Drink ist kein sozialistisches Symbol: Er verbindet kubanischen Rum mit Coca Cola als Sinnbild US-amerikanischen Einflusses.  
- Klassisches Rezept: Highball-Glas mit Eis, 4 cl weißer Rum, mit Coca Cola (insgesamt etwa 150 ml) auffüllen, Limettenspalte zugeben.

Drinks an Bord: Cuba Libre - Freiheit, aber nicht erst seit Fidel

Boat equipment

- Dyneema (HMPE) offers high tensile strength, low elongation, UV and seawater resistance and replaces metal tensioners and shackles.
- Cover loops and lashings made of thin Dyneema are easy to manufacture, abrasion-resistant, corrosion-free and allow almost unlimited tensioning travel.
- A four-strand Dyneema loop achieves a breaking load of over 5000 daN in the test and thus clearly outperforms rope shackles of the same material thickness.

Instructions: How to make textile connections with lashing and looping

Seamanship: This wind pressure is generated on yachts during storms

Rope customer: Make your own soft shackles from Dyneema

Cordage

- Code Zero closes the gap between genoa and gennaker, increases propulsion in light winds and is particularly useful for cruising yachts with a self-tacking jib.  
- The sail requires its own forestay with furler, suitable sheeting, high halyard pull and a well thought-out stowage and setting solution on board.  
- The cut, profile and material determine the range of use, from lazy genoa to space winch; correct halyard tension, sheet and barber haul trim are crucial.

Code Zero: More speed with little wind and a small jib

- IFS Multi Tradewind is a double furling sail consisting of two superimposed gennakers that form a stable, symmetrical downwind sail.  
- It is very stable thanks to its central fixing and M-shaped profile, requires hardly any trim and is particularly suitable for long downwind passages.  
- Thanks to the IFS without anti-torsion cable, simple recovery and nylon material, it is particularly interesting for cruising, family and short-handed crews.

OneSails: Two gennakers are more stable than one spinnaker

- Correct mainsail trim with sheet, backstay, traveller, cunningham, downhaul and outhaul reduces heeling and rudder pressure.  
- The mainsheet and downhaul control the leech depending on the course and wind, while the backstay, halyard and cunningham shift the belly and change the profile.  
- Traveller and downhaul settings optimise the angle of attack and profile depth; check all trimming devices for function before the start of the season.

Sail trim: Adjusting the mainsail correctly - it's so easy
