Stop buying these four products

The Practical Sailor publication has been providing practical advice since 1974, and in this report Chief Editor Tim Labute reveals four products and maintenance mistakes that routinely fail in their long-term testing, costing sailors thousands in repairs and wasted time.

“You bought a sailboat to sail, not to fix broken gear,” said Labute. “Based on decades of unbiased product testing, we expose the items and chemicals you need to avoid if you want to keep your boat safe, corrosion-free, and operational.

“Learn the truth about why ‘bargain’ products become the most expensive mistake on the water. We cover everything from major fire hazards to the simple household cleaner that is actively destroying your sanitation system seals.”
