Closing in on Launch Day
Hello and Happy April! It's so exciting that it is actually Spring. As fairer weather draws launch days nearer it's a great time to do your spring servicing and check for any issues before your vessel is in the water. This issue our Experts video features part 2 of keeping your diesel fuel clean, focussing on filters. As you inventory your onboard safety kit take a moment to watch Andy's video, describing the proper process for disposing of out of date flares. If you are in search of a new boat this Spring check out the in-water boat shows that are coming up, and see the new offering from Cruisers Yachts. All of that plus a sneak peek into the highlights from our May print issue and a ton of other info in this edition. Good reading!
