B G Type C mast head units are better
Better than what?
Well I posted a blog in November 2011 about a wind speed instrument I donated to the HBYC marina section, really it was a trade with Chris, from yacht Faraway and for his old B&G Network instuments so that the club could have a winspeed indicator.
Not a bad trade, I supply the windspeed indicator and I get the gear he was replacing, well here we are two years plus later and guess what, its still working!
The old Type C B&G mast head unit, it must be at least twenty six years old but the grey control box that powers it was thirty six years old and that was two years ago!

From the November 2011 blog.
HBYC Marina gets a 60 knot wind speed indicator
We often have members asking what our wind speed is recording,seems to me if its windy on the marina,its a sight more so out in Hout Bay,so to enable any member or visitor to see the wind speed,the club now has a B &G mast head unit in place,its the C type and with a matching 4" (100mm) gauge,which has a bonus in that it reads to 60 knots,as the later series Syncro types only read to 50 knots. (only?)

As I have seen two later and still the current 213 MHUs fail in three years and Chris supplied me with his two later 496 units, also not working, it stands to reason the older units are longer lasting?
Just how old is this, thirty years plus will be my guess!
So their old mast head gear is better than the newer 213 and 496 mast head units, why is this?

Another Ontario Paddle Maker David B of Red Hill Woods
Had the pleasure of meeting another custom paddle maker yesterday during a quick visit to the Toronto Outdoor Adventure Show. Dave Borsellino of Red Hill Woods had a very eye-catching display of his paddles and other wood working items. Here are some of the samples from his website.
With the standard fare of commercial paddles being sold at various booths it was great to see a woodworker with a passion for custom designs. Apart from his paddle creations, Dave also makes wooden bows of various styles and woods, hand-made arrows made of sitka spruce and the accompanying leather craft as well. Most impressive!
For those in the Toronto area, the show continues until 5pm Sunday (February 26, 2017). If you can't make it and wish to learn more about Red Hill Woods, here is the link to their contact form.
