pinlock has focused on making their safety lines
lighter so that they remain comfortable when
used for longer periods. The water-repellent textile
material prevents excessive water absorption, and
the extra-light snap hooks employ a double-click
system which makes accidental opening almost im-
possible.
SolovelaNet found them on eBay for 53.29 EUR.

ounting masthead tools is
never a pleasant thing, and
a masthead cluttered with devi-
ces is certainly not pretty. This is why
the Italian company Scout have develo-
ped a solution which combines at least
two key instruments; the VHF antenna,
and the wind vane. They do this by po-
sitioning a Windex wind vane on top of
their VHF antenna to create the Windex
Scout VHF 50.

ade by Marine Instruments, Calypso is a
wind sensor that works through ultrasound
and communicates with smart phones through an
app.
In fact, once you download the app, your phone
becomes fully functioning wind control unit.
Calypso is fed by a mini photovoltaic panel that
makes it completely autonomous. The panel
recharges the instrument even on bad weather
days and the long battery life means that the
device will still work after an extended period of
darkness. It costs 499 Euros.
