Sailing and Marine Equipment

Navigation EquipmentSailing equipment is an important part of the purchase of a new or second-hand boat. It is one of those things where you can spend as much money as you wish on equipment for your new cruiser or sailing yacht, so you must give yourself a budget. Obviously, there is a set of essential equipment that all water goers must have, but then there are different sets of equipment required, dependent on whether you will be messing around locally or being more adventurous with long off-shore trips.

Remember that whether you are on a budget or money is no problem, you tend to get what you pay for. Therefore, don't always buy the cheapest if your budget is tight - you might regret the decision later if things go wrong. Check out the various options and if a company is selling something dramatically cheaper than somewhere else, chances are it is not of equipvalent quality. This is not always the case - just make sure you do your research.
