Get a grip during racing season Soon after being declared the official footwear provider for the SailGP catamaran race, Spainbased shoe manufacturer Camper is introducing a new boating shoe specifically designed for SailGP, based on Camper’s classic Pelotas XL design. Adopting the traditional colors of the Spanish SailGP team, the top of the red-and-black sneaker is made of combination of suede and 100% recycled PET, while the ridged, non-slip sole is made of rubber-like, ultra-lightweight EVA material. Besides being light and durable, the shoes don’t tread too hard on the environment; at least 50% of the footwear is made from either organic, recycled, or upcycled materials. $130.00 // camper.com.
Paddle North’s utility dock suits all summertime needs Think of this new utility dock from Paddle North as your leisure lounge on the go. Crafted from high-grade PVC, the sturdy inflatable platform can be filled up with air, using any type of compressor via the universal valve, to its full, roomy size of 9-by-6-feet. The dock can be anchored as a floating swim raft or towed at idle speed behind the boat. The platform is secure enough to handle patio chairs and sunbathers or be used as a water-level launching spot for kayaks, paddleboards, or jet skis. At the end of the day, the whole thing folds up to about a quarter of the size of most standard floating foam mats, making it a snap to stow aboard. $799 // paddlenorth.com.
Garmin MSC 10 provides precise location data Know where you are and where you’re going with Garmin’s new MSC 10 Marine Satellite Compass. With multi-band GNSS and a fully integrated attitude and heading reference system, the MSC 10 provides hyper-accurate, GPS-derived information on a boat’s heading and position within two degrees. The easy-to-install compass uses satellite signals, which eliminate magnetic interference that can degrade heading accuracy. The MSC 10 can also deliver reliable and precise pitch, roll, and heave information, even in rough seas. If the satellite signal is ever lost, the MSC10 will automatically transition from GPS functionality to a backup magnetometer-based heading. $1,099.99 // buy.garmin.com. 35
