On show on Stand G093, at the 2009 Southampton Boat Show

Marine Electronic Services Ltd have expanded their range of electronic equipment mounting solutions with the addition of a range of free standing housings or “pods”. 

Aptly named MarinePod, they come in two sizes and are ideal for mounting popular ranges of electronics such as Raymarine's C and E Series, Furuno NavNet, Standard Horizon, Garmin and Simrad products.  They fix to the deck or cockpit using just four screws through a swivel base which allows easy rotation of the pod to suit a range of viewing angles. 

Visitors to the BRP stand at this year’s PSP Southampton Boat Show, being held 11th – 20th September, will be able to find out more about the Evinrude® range of outboard engines and the latest models in the line-up.

Visit BRP's stand (DO12, Winward Hall) to discover more about the Evinrude outboard engine range, the most advanced direct-injection two-stroke outboard engines available, ranging from 25 to 300 hp.  Evinrude E-TEC® engines offer an unmatched boating experience, delivering high power and low weight for exceptional performance and efficiency.  In fact, Evinrude outboard engines require no dealer-scheduled maintenance for three years or 300 hours and all are 2010 EPA compliant.

Leg 3: Rio de Janeiro – Cape Town 3,270nm

For Leg 3 of Exercise TRANSGLOBE, the RAF yacht HMSTV Discoverer is skippered by Ms. Becky Walford, a Joint Services Adventurous Sail Training Centre (JSASTC) Staff Skipper and Technical Sailing Advisor to the Exercise, the largest joint services adventurous training initiative ever undertaken. Becky’s crew comprises no less than 13 air and ground crew personnel from the UK’s largest transport fleet in the country, RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.

They include Andy Smith, born and bred in Preston, Lancashire, who serves with 216 Squadron at Brize Norton and has spent 34 years in the RAF. His recent deployments have included Operations Telic and Herrick.  Telic is the British Operations in Iraq and Herrick is the equivalent in Afghanistan.  Andy, who is married with two children and lives near Witney, Oxon, has his Day Skipper and Yachtmaster theory qualification but he still needs and wants to gain his full Yachtmaster ticket.

Thirty two talented young power boaters from across the UK and Gibraltar will be hitting the water at the PSP Southampton Boat Show on Sunday (13th September) putting their skill, control and speed to the test in a race against the clock, in the hope of clinching the prestigious title of 2009 Honda RYA Youth RIB National Champion.

After a summer of regional finals where we have witnessed some extremely exciting races, this year’s final is gearing up to be a real nail-biter! 

This year for the first time the Sea Scouts held their own bespoke championship round as part of their Sea Scout 100 Jamboree which injects even more competition into the weekend’s final.

Standard Horizon has just launched one of the smallest fixed VHF DSC radios on the market.  The ultra-compact GX1100E measures just 115mm x 60mm x 170mm (4.4in x 2.3in x 6.6in) but despite the small size, there has been no compromise on features. The front panel is fully waterproof (IPX7, one meter for 30 minutes) making it ideal for use on all types of craft, especially when space is at a premium.

The GX1100E is the first fixed DSC from Standard Horizon on which ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) can be fully programmed and switched on and off via the front panel. ATIS is an identification system used on inland waterways in many areas of mainland Europe.

Transmit power is switchable (via the front panel) between Low (1W) and High (25W), and there is a time-out facility which limits transmission time to 5 minutes, thus preventing unintentional (prolonged) transmissions.
