Solid fuel stove SALAMANDER SE
B (mm): 302 | H (mm): 460 | T (mm): 355 | model: Stove standard version | output (kW): 4,0 | weight (kg): 50
The small SALAMANDER SE cast iron stove has been specially developed for small rooms. It can be used to burn logs, coal or eco-briquettes. Its heat output is 4 kW.The SALAMANDER SE solid fuel stove is available in two versions: a standard version and a version with a separate fresh air supply.The models with fresh air supply have an integrated air box at the rear of the stove, to which a flexible stainless steel air supply hose (diameter: 80 mm) is connected. This hose has a variable length of 300 mm to 1250 mm (extended).In addition to the supply air hose, the scope of delivery also includes all the necessary installation materials such as hose clips and an external cover.The efficiency of the stoves is a very good 81.4 percent. The low particulate and gas emissions comply with the European ECO DESIGN regulations and even fall below the new, stricter limit values of the HETAS Cleaner Choice Scheme. This means that the SALAMANDER SE can be operated in the so-called "smoke-free zones" in the UK. The HETAS Cleaner Choice Scheme is designed to help improve air quality in the UK through strict limits on smoke emissions and particulate matter.The user-friendly air regulator on the front of the stove allows the secondary and tertiary air supply to be precisely adjusted. The firing rate and flame pattern can therefore be controlled very precisely. The preheated tertiary air inlet also ensures efficient, clean combustion. The secondary combustion technology keeps the large viewing window clean.Installation is possible not only on board ships, but also in construction trailers or mobile tiny houses.The exhaust pipe connection has an internal diameter of 4" (100 mm) and a slightly conical external diameter of 115 mm. This means that pipes with an outer diameter of 100 mm can be inserted into the flange or pipes with an inner diameter of 115 mm can be attached.We offer an adapter for our REFLEKS stainless steel pipes of size 114 mm so that the entire REFLEKS exhaust pipe system can be used.Accessories:4356-100: Stove substructure to raise the stove by 158 mm, which also creates space for firewood.4356-101: Flue flange 90° allows the flue system to be installed at the back of the stove instead of the top.4356-103: Vermiculite plates can be replaced with the side cast-iron heat storage plates in the SALAMANDER SE.The SALAMANDER SE is supplied with cast iron heat storage plates as standard. Compared to cast iron plates, the firebox with vermiculite plates heats up much faster due to its insulating properties, which increases the efficiency of the stove.4356-108: Removable hotplate, increases the thermal mass of the SALAMANDER stove by 7 kg . The plate considerably increases the cooking surface.It can only be used if the flue gas pipe system is fitted to the rear of the stove.4356-109 4356-110: Heat protection, sturdy steel construction to shield the hot stove from surrounding walls and furniture. When using the SALAMANDER stove with base frame, the high heat protection must be used.The heat protection is supplied in four parts and is quick and easy to install.4282-115: Flue pipe adapter, for REFLEKS stainless steel pipes size 114 mm.4356-210 4356-211 Brass fittings conversion kitSpare parts:These items are supplied with every stove, but are also available as replacements.4356-104: Glass pane as a spare part if the pane in the stove is damaged and needs to be replaced.4356-105: Multitool, tool for operating the hot stove.

Tarred housing/spunyarn (PP)
Tarred twine, made from hemp-colored polypropylene staple fibers.The tarring process allows this twine to bind well and makes it extremely UV-resistant and absolutely rot-proof.Ideal for attaching hanks and ratlines, for whipping, for cringles and much more.Comes in three classic thicknesses: marline (thin), housing (middle) and spun (heavy). Tarred yarn has been used aboard sailing ships for rigging, to serve and knot tying, as well as for tying ratlines and hanks for centuries.In Scandinavia especially, the twine made from two yarns tarred caulk (Dansk Merling) is used for fancy work.MARLINE, made from 3 threads (when PP it is only made from 2 threads), is suitable for example for serving wires of 14mm maximum. HOUSING is made from 4 threads (when PP it is only made from 3 threads) and is commonly used for serving and tying in of ratlines. SPUNYARN is made from 7-8 threads and is mostly used to serve thick splicesAdditionly we offer a somewhat thinner 5-strand SPUNYARN which has been proven to serve wires from 20mm thickness. Historically these yarns were made from hemp which had to be impregnated in Swedish tar for conservation. Wood tar is washed out by rain and spindrift unfortunately, with the effect, that the materials used in the rig have to be newly tarred twice a year.Nowadays those tarred yarns are made from rot-proof PP staple fibre (SPLEITEKS) threads. As a protection against UV rays these also have to be tarred now and then, but they forgive a lack of maintenance much better than natural fibres.

HAMMAR HR-0500 Quick release liferaft with/without HRU
HAMMAR HR-0500 manual release hook made of stainless steel for attaching the liferaft. The hook can be used alone or in conjunction with a hydrostatic release unit (HRU), such as the HAMMAR H20R. The quick-release hook is inserted into the lashing loop (see video) and allows the webbing strap that secures the island in its holder to be pulled through tightly. In an emergency, the hook can be released quickly by hand so that the life raft can be thrown into the water. To do this, the safety split pin is pulled out, which can be done with one hand even with a heavy lashing load. If the liferaft can no longer be released manually before the ship sinks, the hydrostatic release unit (HRU) takes over. At a water depth of 1.5 - 4 metres, a spring-loaded blade automatically cuts through the lashing of the liferaft, which then slips out of the manual release hook. This allows the raft to float freely. A longer connecting wire to the lashing and the safety pin are available as accessories. Please ask us about them.

HOOK & MOOR VARIO Mooring boat hook
The HOOK & MOOR Vario makes mooring safe and easy. Thanks to its sophisticated, ball-bearing mechanism boat lines can be threaded through rings, bollards, cleats or ladders very quickly. The benefit of the HOOK & MOOR boat hook is that it pulls the mooring rope through the ring and back onto the boat in one motion without having to reach dangerously far overboard. Just place the eye of the dock line in the carabiner of the HOOK & MOOR, reach down and pull the hook right through the cleat or mooring eye and bring the dock line back towards the boat to secure the line’s eye on the cleat.When locking, mooring to a piling, tying up at mooring buoys, pier or jetty, the mooring boat hook HOOK & MOOR Vario is an ingenious mooring aid that speeds of making a line connection and provides more safety. Especially when sailing with a small crew or onboard boats with high freeboard the patented grab hook can be a very helpful addition to the boat equipment. When locked, the HOOK & MOOR Vario can also be used as a normal adjustable boat hook.The hook and its mechanism are made of carbon fibre-reinforced polyamide and stainless steel, the telescopic handle bar is made of forged aluminium.

ALONE AT SEA / Richard J. King
What drives people to embark on a journey across the open sea completely alone? In order to find an answer to this question, Richard J. King looks at a number of unconventional personalities in "The History of Singlehanded Sailing". They dared to conquer the oceans completely on their own, often in tiny ships, befriended birds, named their equipment, crossed geographical, physical and mental boundaries and often disappeared forever.King spans an arc from Joshua Slocum, who from 1895 was the first known solo sailor to circumnavigate the world with the simplest of means, to Sharon Sites Adams, who in the 1960s, shortly after setting foot on a sailing boat for the first time, crossed the Pacific accompanied only by her turtle. And last but not least, the gripping account of his own crossing of the Atlantic, which almost came to a fatal end.Richard J. King graduated from the University of St. Andrews with a PhD in Marine Literature and Creative Writing. He is currently a Professor of Maritime History and Literature at the SEA Education Association in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. He has sailed the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans for 30 years, crossing the latter solo on an 8.7 meter sailboat in 2007.Translated from American English by Rudolf Mast. Born in 1958, Mast was a sailing instructor and sailmaker before studying theater studies and philosophy in Berlin. He now works there as a theater scholar, editor and translator.You can find a reading sample under "Downloads".496 pages, numerous illustrations, format 15 x 22 cm, hardcover with dust jacket and ribbon marker.
