The year is coming to an end and all the year’s major international boat shows have come and gone. All that is left behind is the new yacht technology and innovations introduced at those industry events. From yachts to superyachts, you can expect these yacht tech innovations popping up in more and more vessels as we enter 2020. Here’s a look at the technological innovations yacht owners will be demanding in the new year.
For those new to boating, the terms “boat slip” and “boat dock” might appear interchangeable. However, despite both serving as points where boats tether to land, they possess distinct characteristics. When docking your yacht at a marina, you’re presented with the option of either a boat slip or a boat dock. Determining which suits your vessel and docking requirements best is essential. Therefore, familiarizing yourself with the disparities between a boat slip and a dock is crucial before making your decision. Our Marine Diesel Specialists want to help make your boating experience the best it can be, and that means knowing what you are getting into before you get to a marina.
With environmental activist Greta Thunberg sailing across the Atlantic Ocean to raise awareness1 and bushfires in Australia endangering the koala population,2 global warming continues to be a hot button topic. With climate change looming large in the public consciousness, all industries are increasingly embracing sustainability and alternative power sources including the yachting industry.
The end of the decade is coming up fast! 2019 has been a year of ups and downs and 2020 promises to be just as eventful. If you are a boat owner, now’s as good a time as any to start drafting up your New Year’s resolutions list.
