Sailors can never have enough gear so they’re perfect to buy for on any occasion. Regardless of your budget or their size and type of boat, you can find something that will delight them and if you think they’re the kind of sailor who has it all, you can always pick up something for yourself instead. Here are some sailing accessories that will leave everyone pleased as punch.
Safety gear
There’s never enough safety gear on a boat. Beyond the required flares and fire extinguishers, here are items that will let them know you care.
- Inflatable harness – a lifejacket and a harness in one, an inflatable PFD is an easy purchase. You don’t need to think much about the fit when you buy one. Just make sure it has the appropriate D-rings so it can hook to a tether that will keep your sailor safely attached to the boat in any conditions. You can also pick up a stretching tether and a CO2 rearming kit.
- Towing membership – sometimes the wind doesn’t blow, the batteries die or the engine won’t run so a towing membership is a sure way to get home for coastal sailors. Memberships vary by the area to which they extend and the level of comprehensive coverage. Most memberships are for a year but in some areas, they may be discounted for just the sailing season.
- Handheld VHF radio – keeping in touch is key to staying safe. Shop for a handheld radio with rechargeable batteries and a decent level of waterproofness and your sailor will be able to take it in the dinghy when exploring away from the main boat or on daysails in areas where there is no cell coverage.
- Medical kit – accidents happen so readily accessible bandages, tape, burn cream and anti-seasickness medicine can keep sailors safe for a day or longer. There are a number of prepackaged kits available and some even come with comprehensive guidebooks on how to use the contents.

Boater’s Winter Survival Guide |
If you’re like us, you’re already counting down the days to spring launch due to the chilly temperatures outside. If you’re concerned you’ll go stir crazy waiting to get back on the water, never fear. We have a few things up our sleeves to carry you through the coming weeks. This way, when spring thaw hits, you’ll be fully prepared to cruise again.
1. Pay your boat a visit.
If your boat is shrink wrapped and stowed on land, stop by to check that everything is okay. This means the wrap is tightly in place, no pooling of rain water or melted snow has occurred, and trailers or jackstands are standing sturdy.
2. Inspect your docklines.
If you took your lines off your boat at the end of last season but didn’t give them the once-over, do so now. Make sure no signs of chafe appear. For those of you who keep your boats in the water in winter, definitely look for the same. Sometimes, lines get stuck under docks at low tide.

Boating Etiquette: Reading between "The Rules" |
Boating, even more so than other sports and activities, has an etiquette, which is defined as “the customary code of polite behavior among members of a particular profession or group.” In boating, etiquette is not only about social norms but also about safety, so it’s best to learn a few rules before you untie the dock lines.
Rules of the Road
Rules of the road are the accepted system of right of way, which you must follow to be courteous and safety-minded. These rules are numerous and detailed but if you learn just a few, you should be covered in most recreational boating situations. In the following, the “stand-on vessel” has the right of way, and the “give-way vessel” needs to accommodate the other.
- In a situation with two boats coming head on, if possible, both vessels turn to starboard and pass port to port. That way, there’s no guesswork about the intentions of the other captain and a collision is avoided.
- A sailboat under sail has the right-of-way over a powerboat. If the sailboat is running with an engine, it’s considered a powerboat regardless if the sails are up.

Tech Talk with SeaBits: The Benefits of Drones on Boats |
|
I’ve been flying quadcopters, more commonly now called drones, for over 10 years. Early on they were more of a fun hobby to build and fly, and less about quality pictures and video. In the last few years, that has completely changed, and you can now find drones in use on Hollywood movies and photography all over the place. I have taken lots of photos and videos with drones, but my favorites are bays and anchorages where you can enjoy the vistas and learn about the shoreline and depth contours.
Having grown up in South Puget Sound, I spent a lot of time at various anchorages and spots that are still fun to visit. One of my all-time favorites is Oro Bay, and I was there earlier this year with some friends and had the opportunity to fly the drone and explore via dinghy. Here’s an interesting look at Oro Bay from the sky, and how it matches up with features on a nautical chart.
Oro Bay is located on the southern tip of Anderson Island about 14 nautical miles south of Gig Harbor. A lot of charts call both the outer and inner bays by the same name, but there are actually two distinct bays: a less protected one to the east, and the inner one to the west — our chosen spot for several days last fall.
