The Actuant Electrical’s Mastervolt brand, the global leader in marine electrical power products and systems, has been chosen as a Technical Supplier to ORACLE TEAM USA, 34th America’s Cup Defender.

“It is important for us to work with companies that understand our needs, offer high quality products and knowledgeable technical support,” said Chris Sitzenstock, Shore and Build Team Project Manager for ORACLE TEAM USA.

“Mastervolt has collaborated with us throughout the design process, offering products that work well in our applications, and they stand by their products.”

Cut for active use, the Gill Waterproof Sailing Trousers and Shorts provide durable protection from wet and abrasive deck surfaces.

Fully waterproof, breathable and hard wearing, both products feature reinforced panels on the seat and knees (on trousers) to protect from extensive wear. 

The addition of a new button system, where the button is attached with webbing, provides a much more secure and durable fastening. 

With marine electrical systems becoming more load-heavy and complex, Marinco and BEP have taken a detailed look at the everyday products used in boat electrical installations, and created a range of connectors to make electrical fitouts as quick and easy as possible, whilst maximizing dependability.

The result is the Pro Installer Series of bus bars, fuse holders and insulated studs designed for fast installation and the ability to cluster easily with a small footprint.

This has been achieved by using a common interconnection height that allows solid link bars to connect multiple Pro Installer products - a real bonus when space is tight.

Available in 9”, 12” or 15.4” screen sizes, gS Series meets the needs of demanding skippers looking for integrated navigation with unprecedented flexibility...
