Nov 26, 2019The traditional method of mounting a boat antenna is slow and painstaking. It includes cutting and soldering coax cable and then carefully twisting it in reverse so it will unwind as the mast is threaded onto the hardware. With the Glomeasy line from Glomex, it's fast and easy to install—and remove—high-performance VHF, AIS, FM and DAB antennas. Like all Glomex products, the line comes with a lifetime warranty.
Ideal for OEM and DIY installation, Glomex Glomeasy antennas are easier to use because of their pre-wired FME (for mobile equipment) waterproof connector that allows the RG-8X coax connection to rotate freely, so there's no chance of it twisting or shearing. It also offers less signal attenuation than standard RG-58C/U cable for greater transmission and reception performance. The combination provides an unprecedented level of reliability.

Professional-caliber Glomeasy antennas are available for VHF, AIS, FM and DAB systems. Engineered to perform in extreme environments, they have a sleek white glossy finish that resists yellowing. Glomex, the leading global manufacturer of commercial and recreational marine connectivity products, offers a wide range of Glomeasy mounts for a wide range of applications, including masthead. Antennas start at $88 USD.

Monaco Energy Boats Could Be Heading to Canada
The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.
The MEBC was started in 2014 as a competition between university teams who built and raced boats powered only by solar power and batteries. To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition. The club supplies the student teams with the same one-design catamaran hull, and each team adds their own cockpit and propulsion system that can be powered by any renewable alternative energy sources, not just solar.
