Deck shoe: America's Cup shoe and two other helpers for everyday boating

Deck shoe

The model All-Terrain America's Cup Edition should offer particularly good grip on deck thanks to the ATG-Tech rubber sole, be very breathable and therefore dry quickly. Drainage channels in the sole, which are slightly raised so that water only flows out but not in when the deck is wet, also contribute to this. The laces are adjusted with a clip, so they should not come undone unintentionally. An antibacterial treatment helps to prevent odours. The America's Cup shoe is available in white, blue with a white sole and white with a blue sole. Price: 139 euros.

Interface

Digital Yacht offers with NAVLink Blue a way to transfer NMEA 2000 data to smartphones and tablets via Bluetooth. The gateway is connected to the NMEA 2000 backbone and sends all the information contained in the network. This also works bidirectionally, meaning that sensors with Bluetooth can also feed data into the network and, for example, a fuel level or temperature can be displayed on the plotter. Price: 250 euros.

Washing machine

The Mini washing machine from Jost-Technik impresses with its small dimensions and can be mounted on the bulkhead. It is only 55 centimetres wide, 60 high and 32 centimetres deep. The appliance can hold 2.5 kilograms of laundry and wash at 30, 40, 60 or 90 degrees and spin at up to 800 revolutions. Operation is via 230 volts, so a shore connection or an inverter is required. Price: 640 euros.
