Boatasy RopeCleaner
In the “work smarter not harder” category, Boatasy’s new RopeCleaner is the ideal tool for cleaning muddy and barnacle encrusted lines — especially mooring lines that stay submerged. Made of 316 stainless steel with an ergonomic handle, the tool’s metal spiral section has sharpened inner parts, which efficiently cuts and removes various shells and algae. Simply twist the Ropecleaner onto the line and apply pressure while scraping up and down. Without causing damage to lines, it quickly breaks down and removes the overgrown and dirty parts, leaving your ropes and lines looking new.

Roll-up Emergency VHF Antenna
Historically, emergency VHF systems had a short and stubby antenna that limited range when you would need it most, but they were easy to store. Revolve-Tec has solved the problem with their new roll-up Emergency VHF Antenna. Using the proven “Rolatube” design — which was developed for and is in use by the military — the patented design integrates a high-performance antenna into the rollable composite material, removing the need for separate mast and antenna units. Just unroll the antenna, connect it to your radio and start transmitting. The antenna is over 8 feet tall when unrolled, it is ultralight, compact, and has a high-visibility cover with an integrated SOLAS approved LED strobe for location assistance. It comes in a waterproof, roll-top bag for easy storage.
