Extend Your Step at CLR Marine

CLR Marine’s Extend Your Step Makes Getting on Board Easier

Extend Your Step provides a convenient and easy solution to adding a step to any standard boat boarding ladder.  

Getting on and off a boat shouldn’t be a frustrating experience. Unfortunately, most standard boating ladders are either too short or too flimsy to provide comfort and security. CLR Marine, a Florida-based Veteran-owned company for marine equipment and boat supplies, presents a solution with its newest product offering – Extend Your Step. The product makes boat boarding so much easier by providing extra steps to stock boarding ladders without the need for any modifications, complicated installations, and expensive replacements. Extend Your Step is designed to fit different stock ladders and is far superior in durability, sturdiness, and convenience to any rope ladder.

CLR Marine’s Extend Your Step was created to help boaters, especially those with mobility concerns, quickly and conveniently board their boats in various circumstances. It reduces the risk of injuries, ensuring a safer experience every time.

Extend Your Step comes in two versions – a 2-step and a 3-step ladder.

The 2-step ladder extension adds approximately 24 inches to stock boat ladders. It has an ample 10-inch foot space, so boaters can comfortably get on and off their boat with both feet. It is compatible with all types of tubular boarding ladders and flat steps or rungs up to 1-inch wide or round.

The 3-step version, on the other hand, provides an additional 41 inches to stock boat ladders. Similar to the 2-step version, this is also 10 inches wide. It fits any type of tubular boarding ladder and flat steps up to 1.25 inches, flat or round. Unlike other long boarding ladders, Extend Your Step 3 won’t cause any swing. It is secure and stable and can even be used as a dinghy boarding ladder.

Extend Your Step is exclusively manufactured for and sold by CLR Marine and its dealers. It is made with premium high-density polyethylene, boasting unmatched durability. The material is UV-stabilized to prevent sun-related damage and ensure lasting performance even under the harshest marine environments.

Both versions of Extend Your Step are compatible with most ladders made by Garelick, AFI, Windline, and Seachoice. They are both easy to clean using soap and water and easy to store as they stay attached to the boat’s boarding ladder. Additionally, they can be customized or height adjusted as needed.

The recommended weight limit for Extend Your Step is 230-pounds. However, one must take into consideration that people weigh less in the water.

About Life Rafts

A true life raft must be capable of deploying fast in all kinds of conditions, from a sinking to a fire. It must then hold up and sustain the crew until a rescue is possible. While it is not a Coast Guard requirement for most recreational boats to carry an approved life raft, it's a good idea to purchase one.

LIFE RAFT BASICS

The Coast Guard does not require recreational boaters to carry an approved life raft. Marine specialists agree, however, that if you go offshore, regardless of your boat's size, you should carry one. Even if you only travel close to shore, a life raft is a good idea. In waters colder than 78 degrees (all of the Great Lakes), hypothermia can occur within two hours.
In tropical waters, protection from the sun and heat stroke are also factors.

There are three basic life raft designs: coastal, offshore and oceangoing. Coastal rafts are intended for quick rescue situations, when help is expected within a day. They are small, lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to deploy and store. Open a flap on the valise and extend the painter line, then give a hard pull, and the raft inflates automatically in less than 30 seconds, thanks to the self-contained CO2 inflation system. Because they're intended for quick rescue, coastal life rafts lack features needed for long-term survival. That's where offshore rafts come in. They expand survival time to four or five days, with features like canopies. Most marine experts recommend purchasing an offshore raft, regardless of whether you intend to go offshore or not.

"There are several types to choose from; single tube, twin tube, automatic erecting canopy, manual erecting canopy, the simpler the life raft, the less expensive it will be. A single tube, manual-erect canopy life raft will be the basic, no-frills life raft."

Oceangoing rafts are equipped for survival of at least 30 days. They are required on commercial vessels and some international racing vessels. They are generally made of more durable materials, include heavy-duty ballast systems and carry a price tag to match.

Life rafts also vary in size. Manufacturers use a certain formula to configure the size of each raft, which includes calculating the weight and height of a midsized adult. The buyer must determine what the average size and maximum number of people is typically aboard there boat and factor this in to the actual size life raft needed.
.
STOWAGE OPTIONS

Where do you plan to stow the raft. A compact raft can be stowed below deck, but it does no good, if there's no one capable of getting it out. There are few cockpit lockers that have lid dimensions to allow easy removal of a raft. So, plan on storing your life raft on deck when under way for your safety.

Life rafts come in soft, flexible valises for below-deck storage or durable fiberglass canisters for deck mounting. Valise rafts tend to be lighter and therefore easier to take from boat to boat. A typical model rated for six people and with a canopy needs two and a half to three cubic feet. If your raft is stored in a properly designed locker, it will be less likely to be washed overboard in heavy weather. With proper care and maintenance, a valise-style life raft can be used for years.

Canister type rafts are bigger and heavier, but there's good reason to choose them. Even though protected from the elements, a valise style isn't as rugged as a life raft packed in a canister. The canisters can be mounted on deck in a cradle and have an option of a hydrostatic release mechanism. If the boat starts to sink, the hydrostatic release would inflate and release the life raft automatically.

EQUIPMENT AND COSTS

When you select your raft, consider the survival equipment pack it contains and add to it. Many have no food, water, flares, or first-aid supplies. But they often have space to add more things, such as spare glasses, medication, fishing gear and duct tape. Of utmost importance are signaling and communication devices, a fully charged handheld radio, plus a small solar charging kit, would be helpful. If you have an EPIRB and you chose a deck-mounted, canister-style raft, attach it so you and your EPIRB will drift together.

Of course, buying a life raft brings up the important question of cost. This in turn brings another question to mind. How much is your life worth? Valise life rafts tend to be less expensive initially, though they also tend to cost more to repack after they deploy. Also, price competition among manufacturers is fierce. Overall, costs can range from $1100 to more than $6,000, plus a few hundred dollars in maintenance. There are also extras, such as the gear packed into the raft and the mounting mechanism. The hydrostatic release retails for about $100.

Most life rafts must be inspected and repacked each year to keep the warranty in effect. They also need repacking after deployment. It's a good idea not to stretch the time limit, because a raft can deteriorate quickly if it suffers water damage, and gas cylinders need to be weighed and valves inspected to ensure the raft will inflate when needed. Rafts are also folded differently each time they are repacked so that wear doesn't occur in folded seams.

Repacking also offers the opportunity to perform minor repairs and prevent them from becoming major more expensive ones. Seek out a re-packer who is a certified technician and approved by your raft manufacturer. Re-packers generally welcome owners to examine their rafts to become familiar with them and perhaps add items to their equipment packs. It can be frustrating to have to pay hundreds of dollars for inspection and repacking, especially if you don't cruise much, but its money worth spending when this is the one item that could save your life. You may never use it, but better to have the right equipment on board in case of an emergency than to find out the hard way that you’re tender isn't capable of saving your life.

When your looking for a life raft, be sure you take a look at CLR Marine, we offer life rafts by REVERE and SWITLIK.

SO YOU WANT TO CREW

For the Crew
Crewing Tips: Give as much detail of your crewing experience (if you have any) as possible. "Looking to fulfill your dreams!" is simply not good enough to find a crew position - offer some attributes an owner or yacht skipper could use(cooking, engine repair, sewing are just a few)! Do not forget contact information, keep it current. Do not present yourself or your abilities with any exaggeration but do emphasize any particular abilities or talents you have confidence in.

Some skippers shout and use less than flattering terms when under pressure - remember he is responsible for both your safety and his, but it should be only a temporary phase. Do not get insulted or let these comments go to your head. Never the less, pay attention, ask for guidance, re-visit the situation and/or seek resolution.

Warning: There may be the one or two skippers that try to treat you like a dog, always barking orders and never satisfied. If you run in to one; bail out and bail quick. They are rare but they are out there.

Needless to say, privacy on any yacht is at a premium and in the tropics, nudity is not uncommon, this applies to both sexes and can be troublesome if not fully confronted. If you've got any hang-ups about either, ask and clear the air. Speaking of sex, make sure your own morals, ethics and demeanor are consistent with the skipper and crew.

Never have a rigid time schedule: the ways of the sea are not timely as weather, a great anchorage, beach bar, breakdowns and repairs, etc. can eat into schedules. Trying to keep a schedule usually coincides with s#*t happens.

Ladies: PLEASE watch out for crew lists that specifically look for single women companions, seems that not all sailors are gentlemen, despite glowing terms of adventure and modest expectations of your participation in shipboard life! There are however some genuine ones out there. SO, do your homework carefully.

For the Captain
Crew Wanted Tips: Give voyage details, time span, ports you plan to stop at, what is expected of the crew, is it a delivery or cruise. Remember the more information you supply the better your crew will be prepared. Treat your crew like you would like to be treated, also respect there privacy.


What to Bring and What You Should Do.

Personal Gear: PFD with whistle and strobe light, foul weather jacket and bib-pants, sea-boots, gloves, several caps (you'll lose one), ski goggles (handy protection in heavy rain), synthetic fleece vest, shirt, jacket, pants, and quick wash/dry underwear.
Sleeping bag, knowing it will get foul and wet.
Large "zip-lock" bags to keep underwear, sox, etc., dry.
Waterproof bag for valuables (wallet, passport, etc.) and your own ditch bag, MP3 player, reading material and journal or Log Book. All should fit in one, soft, sea bag.
Bring a small daypack or fanny pack for shore excursions.
Food: Individual packages of instant oatmeal, hot chocolate, soups and juice crystals. S/S thermos bottle. Ginger snap cookies & ginger candies, known for there anti-seasickness qualities.
Personal First Kit: any medication you may need, Sea Sick pills(we have found Motion Ease great for this), good scissors, tweezers and magnifying glass, hot/cold compress, butterfly bandages, elastoplasts roll, lip balm, skin lotion, after-shower talcum mixture, topical anesthetic pads.
Other Items: Fun stuff to wear or do, roll of duct tape (always needed somewhere), braided nylon twine and about 20' - 30' of light gauge s/s wire (for securing those little things), binoculars, watch, camera, alarm clock, flashlight & extra batteries and antiseptic hand soap. A small gift for the skipper and, perhaps a few things to trade, use your imagination.

Prior to Departure from Home: Become confident and practice preparing One-pot meals. If you can find it, the Two-Burner Gourmet Cook Book by Terry L Searfoss a departed friend is great. Also, make sure you are in good physical shape I am not saying use must have muscles be able to maintain for long periods at a time. If your musical, a small instrument is great to bring along. Guitars are big and subject to damage ask the skipper before you bring it.

Upon Arrival at the Vessel: Including the usual safety familiarization and with the skipper's permission, check all the rigging possible to familiarize yourself with it, check all pad eyes, shackles, shackle pins, winches, blocks, sail tracks and reefing gear - even fresh from the shipyard, pins & bolts can be the wrong size or material, loose or missing. Ask about practicing reefing and headsail changes. A "shake-down" cruise in home waters is essential.
Make a diagram of all thru-hull fittings (where they are) and go find them - also rudder shaft fitting and propeller shaft fitting ie stuffing box. FIND AND KNOW WHERE ALL THE HOLES IN THE BOAT ARE.
If possible, secure a crew berth in the aft section or mid-section of the boat the forepeak is very uncomfortable in a rough sea. Find and examine all hand-holds (and other fittings/fixtures that you may grab), especially around the galley and in the head, to ensure they will take your weight when being tossed about.
If "hot-bunking", discuss with your bunk mate, in advance, any personal feelings about hygiene, tidiness, privacy that may concern you.
Report ANYTHING to the skipper that does not feel right and GET RESOLUTION with him, if you have any doubts determine a course of action, in advance, for those feelings.

Additional feedback:Never tread the deck in shoes you wore on shore, keep deck shoes aboard or go barefooted.

You will never have too much money or enough credit resources. Do not flaunt the amount or how to access your private stash. Have you ever met a sailor who cruised under budget or purposely missed the bargain of the century in some foreign port?

Speaking of money - some or most skippers ask or expect a contribution to the food kitty and some shipboard expenses. This may be a modest amount or completely outrageous. Assuming you are performing "crew" functions, your initial contribution to operating the vessel is a foregone conclusion. Sure, you are getting a free ride, some experience and adventure but paying more than $30.00 US, a day for the privilege is borderline. Whatever the arrangement, get any agreed amounts noted and mutually signed, preferably in the logbook before you ship off.

In addition, this brings up the subject of liability. Are you a guest, passenger or crew? Again, most skippers will ask you to sign a waiver of some sort or agreement for your participation, noting that you must have sufficient funds to repatriate yourself from any distant port (most countries require this to), that you have your own health/medical insurance and that your documentation is bullet-proof.
NOTE: Any charge above your own food contribution, personal visas and permits, etc., constitutes a commercial venture with dramatic insurance and legal implications. Paying for fuel, dockage, etc., makes you a paying guest not crew. Ask to check the insurance policies covering paid guests.

So, you've found a well-equipped boat, even some toys onboard! Nevertheless, get the use of the goodies cleared up with the skipper before you leave. Satellite phone, a dinghy with an outboard, some skippers believe the use is for them only! It was once said that a skipper would not let anyone use the electric windlass, risking draining of the batteries ( I hope the crew had a strong back). It is also a good idea to discuss what, if any duties, you might be expected to do aboard at an anchorage while the skipper or others head for shore.

Another thing to watch for is the skipper fond of deliveries. It is not his boat and regardless of your arrangements with him, any future personal or legal difficulties usually find him walking and you may be holding the bag. Find the person or company who is the documented owner and go over your mutual crewing expectations and obligations with them. A professional approach should be welcomed by all parties, and if not, bail out!

Attitude is EVERYTHING: Your new shipmates will include ambitions and skills they may or may not have. Always look for the best in everybody and be prepared for the sharing of deepest secrets, and hearing the most outrageous lies and lives stories, when huddled in the cockpit under starry skies.
Above all, especially for neophytes and sailors with notoriously short memories, remember that as romanticized as sailing is, you WILL Find Discomfort, fear and a wanting for land. This will be offset by finding personal strength in challenging your surroundings, overcoming fears and perhaps falling hopelessly in love with the sea, its' shores and our fragile beautiful world of water.

Remember that the boat represents a large investment to the owner, as crew, treat it with respect.
In all cases, any signs of incompetence, lack of vessel preparation, drunkenness, abuse, privacy including sex issues or general incompatibility that make your "red lights" go off, should prepare you to abandon the venture. Express your concerns to the skipper but don't hesitate to bail out if your "level of comfort" is going to be compromised. Any serious concerns you have now, that can't be resolved, will be compounded in the many days, isolated at sea, despite feelings of disappointment and possible regret you may initially have when the vessel sails without you.

Here is a little something to leave you with.

On an ancient wall in ChinaWhere a brooding Buddha blinks,Deeply graven is the messageIt is later than you think.The clock of life is wound but onceAnd no man has the powerTo tell just when the hands will stop,At late or early hour.Now is all the time you own,The past a golden link,Go cruising now my brother and sisterIt's later than you think.- Anonymous

Life Rafts by CLR Marine

Life Rafts

Life rafts are one of the most important pieces of equipment on any boat, yacht or ship because they could literally mean the difference between life and death. Many people who are aboard a boat for pleasure spend very little time thinking about the provisions that are available should something go awry with the boat itself, causing a need to dis-embark suddenly. This is the way it should be as boats are to be enjoyed to their fullest when out on the open waters.
If you look back in history, it is easy to point to one of the most unlikely accidents of modern times; the fate of the Titanic. It was the ship that would never sink, built like a tank and put into the water for safe passage from one place to another unless a nasty iceberg gets in the way. Unfortunately, there were too few life rafts or life boats onboard and it created a big problem.
In order to survive that disaster, it was almost mandatory for people to be out of the water and resting safely in the boats. In fact, the people who were not in the life rafts did not stand a chance of survival because of the cold waters. Hypothermia is one of the deadliest aspects of being trapped in the cold ocean waters for any amount of time.

Life Rafts Provide Protection

Staying out of the cold water and in life rafts is a necessity for people who are going to survive a lost ship or yacht. The cold water can cause hypothermia which means the core temperature of body's temperature falls well below normal levels, causing heart failure when the core temperature falls to around 30-32 degrees Celsius (86-90 degrees Fahrenheit). The human body loses heat 30 times faster in cold water then when exposed to cold air.
If you are in water that is only 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit), survival time is less than five hours. Obviously if passengers are in life rafts, their survival time increases dramatically, from hours to days. It only makes sense to provide enough life rafts for the maximum number of people who can be on board the boat or yacht at any time.
If you are traveling in waters that are significantly warmer, it is still better to be in life rafts than exposed to the elements. Many life rafts have coverings that can provide protection from the damaging effects of the sun so that people can survive for longer periods of time. You should also consider putting some type of survival kit with each raft that will provide some of the basic necessities for surviving out on the ocean for extended periods of time.
