Gifts for Boaties
If you’re bored of settling for gift
vouchers and another waterproof coat,
take a look at these fresh ideas to warm the cockles of every boat lover’s
heart.
LED lights
This is real slow-burning gift.
According to Marine
Lighting, 1 LED bulb can last up to 60,000 hours. That’s 6.8 years of
non-stop shining 24 hours per day. However mundane it may seem gifting light
bulbs for Christmas, when they haven’t had to change a light bulb onboard for 6
years, the recipient will be more than grateful.
Sketching classes
Every now and again, getting off
the boat and staying on the hard can renew your appreciation for your favourite
habitat. Sketching requires nothing more than a pad and paper, but can give you
a brand new view of a familiar place. What better than gaining a relaxing
skill? Maybe they’ll even sketch you.
Cookbook for Onboard Dinners –
Being out at sea, recipes that
require long cooking times and multiple appliances just won’t cut it. Get the
tips from people who understand the challenges of life afloat. And as an extra
gift for you, Discover Boating have done all the hard work and summarised their
favourite
10.
GoPro
There’s no better sight than the
open water ready for your boat. Let your loved ones relive their joy by giving
them a GoPro. Specialising in sports film, these high-tech cameras can capture
all your boating action whilst keeping your hands free to capture the moment.
Sailcloth Accessories (Sails and Canvas)
From bags and holdalls to cushions
and beanbags – prolong the life of used sails by giving a gift made from
recycled sailcloth is sure to float their boat. Multiple online options exist,
but to name a few, try out Sailtech, Quba, and Atlantic Rigging.
As a bonus, these gifts were all
selected for their longevity and/or sustainability. The foul release products
from the Aquacote range are no different. Although they are all designed with multi-seasonality
in mind, you won’t need to wait long to appreciate their performance.
