Re: Reliable small onboard printer in 2022?

We use a canon ip110, which is a color printer and have found it to be excellent. We keep it in a ziplock bag. The same for the paper.

Re: Lagoon Catamaran Smashed To Bits

Re: Life rafts on small bluewater boats

I do worry about this as well, but this is what our pudgy looks like with the canopy up. There are two auto-inflate cylinders and, of course, a sea anchor. As other writers have written, the dinghy...

Re: Pelagic Ram with Raymarine Electronics
