Australian Yachting – Sept/Oct

06/10/2009

This issue of Australian Yachting brings you two outstanding gear tests: personal flotation devices (PFDs) and chart plotters are both put to the test.  What we learned will surprise you, and may save your life.  We also cover code zero reaching sails, crossing river bars, EPIRBs and we test the Archambault A40rc.  This issue is not to be missed!
