HULL-SCRAPER

This hull-cleaning tool is hardly the kind of

glamorous objet you’re used to on this page,

but it is remarkably useful for those who

have no cause to lift out once a season.

Su ce to say, it scrapes your hull clean. The

foam head has buoyancy enough to press

the cleaning blades upwards, saving any

tedious hard work. Price £79.99

HUMIDOR

“Who wants a humidor on a yacht?”

Frank Sinatra and Celeste Holm might

have sung in ‘High Society’. How

wrong they’d be. The Symphony

humidor provides the requisite

constant humidity for your smokes,

and it comes lined in brass pipes, for

the hell of it. Price €3,140 (c£2,771)
