Hello Sailors!
A great deal of tidying up going on as winter rears its ugly head. Leaves to be cleaned from gardens and gutters; summer furniture to be tucked away and a good dose of 'cut-back' of summer blooms should be well and truly completed. And that's just off the water - what have you done to complete a clean-up on your boat in preparation for the winter? Like most of us, you probably still continue to use your boat, although not so frequently, so just like your car now is the time to get that warrant of fitness check. Contact us for a list as to how to keep your boat in optimum health! Speaking of clearing up - it’s now only weeks until the shortest day when we begin creeping towards summer. So, the time has begun to take orders for summer boat deliveries which we've already begun to do. So don't miss out on getting your order in on time to have a boat for another spectacular summer, or if you want a deal now, we have some great second-hand boats on the ready. Whatever's on your bucket list just let us know and we'll find it. That's why we're called Yachtfinders Global!

Semco - Teak Protection and Restoration | |
|
SEMCO is the simplest & most thorough way to clean teak or other woods. It deep cleans teak without harsh scrubbing to remove greying, food stains, fish blood, fuel stains & teak oils. It is alkaline based and will not damage wood like some acid-based cleaners can. Once teak is clean an initial 2-coat application of SEMCO TEAK SEALER will provide long lasting natural looking protection for an entire season. Once applied, your teak will not turn grey or allow the growth of mildew. Surface soil can be washed away with mild detergent, and with seasonal recoating, the teak will be preserved in its natural state for many years.

Heavy metal: Life at the world's largest shipyard. | |
|
The biggest shipyards that remain (in Romania, Poland and Germany) are minnows compared to the yards of Asia. And to a European visitor, the city of Ulsan on the southern tip of the Korean peninsula seems like a throwback to some lost world. If you look at the league table of shipbuilding companies in the world, five of the top 10, including all of the top four, are South Korean. The other five are Japanese and Chinese. Ulsan is reminiscent of old photographs of European shipbuilding towns on rivers whose names are redolent of their history: in Britain, the Clyde, Tyne, Wear, Tees or Mersey.
