Charter for Charity with Mustang sailing
A South Coast sailing school has launched a new charity initiative to raise money for ex-servicemen and get people out on the water.
Preserve your electrics
If you have 3-pin 240V shore power sockets on board, seal them with a plastic blanking plug of the type used to stop children electrocuting themselves when you’re sailing offshore…
Prevent outboard corrosion
Try to flush your outboard engine through with fresh water when you come off the boat, and check your anodes frequently. You won't know about it until it's too late!
Protect your charging system
Starting the engine while shore power is still attached can damage your charging system (older boats mostly)
