The IAMI president produces this IAMI branded Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon in Oklahoma. Two bottles of it have traveled from the 2016 conference site in Knoxville,Tennessee all the way to Bodrum, Turkey and were eventually enjoyed by our IAMI surveyors and staff.

 A sailing legend passes away at 87 Sadun Boro, the Turkish sailor, has passed away at the age of 87 while being treated for cancer in Marmaris. Sadun and his wife Oda circumnavigated the globe in 1965-1968 in their 10.5m Atkin designed wooden double ender, the “Kısmet”. On board was also their cat “Miço”.

It is possible to add an electric motor (typically 12v DC current) to some models; the motor simply replaces your arm in activating the pump. |

High density Polyethylene (HDPE) tank systems overcome the persistent corrosion problems of stainless steel and mechanical failure of flexible bags.  HDPE, next to being versatile and durable, will ensure an almost condensation free environment for fuel and will provide water clean and free of any undesired taste for the galley. We have been involved in replacement tanks for boats previously fitted with mechanically unreliable flexible bags or stainless and aluminium tanks with electrolysis problems. … |
