FUN FACT #15
The magnetic error caused by iron and steel objects such as the engine, which form integral parts of a vessel is called deviation. Variation is the effect of the Earth's magnetic field, and varies throughout the world. Leeway is the sideways drift of a sailing vessel caused by the wind; the further forward the wind direction, the greater the leeway. Compass error is simply the combination of variation and deviation - which can sometimes cancel each other out!

MasterCraft Boat Co. CEO John Dorton confirmed yesterday that the holding company that owns MasterCraft bought Hydra-Sports last week from Genmar at auction for $1 million. Both brands are now owned by Wayzata Investment Partners, a Minneapolis-based investment firm. Dorton said, "We just think it's a nice fit. It's a very high-end product," he added. "It doesn't compete with our core line of MasterCraft. We have capacity in Vonore (Tenn.) at our plant."

Focus on Christmas Traditions in US

The variations of the Christmas traditions of USA equal the number active cultures that have settled in the land. These cultural contributions were given a new lease of life by creative artists, authors, poets and songwriters, and it was melded together by the power of secular and commercialized media in record companies, radio stations, television, cinemas and now the internet. The unwritten law of media is the presentation of a seemingly uniform celebration of the Christmas traditions of USA. This is responsible for the world wide acceptance of a universal Christmas image which they get from the media. Nevertheless, the celebrations are peculiar to each region.

NEW!

2009-12-02T14:07:00.000-05:00

Life Industries Corporation, the makers of the BoatLIFE line of quality boat maintenance products, is excited to introduce “Fix”, a new repair putty created with boaters and marine enthusiasts in mind.

Unlike similar products on the market, “Fix” is a non-sagging repair putty that cures like steel. “Fix” is completely cured after 24 hours and can even be used underwater. Once cured, it can be drilled, tapped, sanded and painted. It bonds to fiberglass, wood, metal, glass and concrete and is impervious to oil, gasoline, alcohol, caustic detergent and salt water oxidation. “Fix” offers easy clean up with soap and water.

Pick up a “Fix” kit at one of many BoatLIFE product retailers nationwide or call (800) 382-9706.
