After the season is before the season

Nobody likes the end of the season, but it is still worth preparing for it. Nothing is more annoying than when the boat is hanging in the crane and the owner suddenly realizes what he forgot to get for winterizing. TOPLICHT has a range of articles in its program that provide very good service.

Anyone standing outside needs a stable winter cover, preferably with a solid frame that can withstand winter storms. Those who want to prevent the annoying diesel bug fill up once more and add a diesel additive to the fuel. Antifreeze in the external engine circuit protects the engine, and in the freshwater system it protects pumps and pipes, toilet pumps – depending on the manufacturer – as well.

Well cleaned hulls and decks get fewer scuff marks from tarpaulins, and the dust and dirt of winter come off more easily in spring. Those who use long-lasting antifouling and are stored in the hall can even already apply antifouling. Or clean the folding propeller and grease it with special grease.

The following Toplicht products help with this and have proven themselves in practice over the years.

Diesel bug prevention

LIQUI MOLY Marine Diesel Protection
The additive DIESEL PROTECTION is a highly effective biocide against bacteria, yeasts and moulds in the tank. It prevents clogging of filters and fuel lines and, when used preventively, protects against the dreaded "diesel plague".The additive cleans the entire fuel and injection system and ensures very good corrosion protection, even during longer periods of inactivity.In case of acute infestation, a shock dosage of 1:200 is required. One measuring cup (25 ml) is sufficient for 5 litres of diesel fuel. For preventive application 1:1000, one measuring cup (25 ml) is sufficient for 25 litres of diesel fuel.The 200 ml DIESEL PROTECT SHOOTER is as a small container particularly suitable for use on sailing yachts.For acute shock dosing, sufficient for up to 40 litres of diesel. For preventive use, sufficient for up to 200 litres of diesel.Use biocidal products with care. Always read the label and product information before use.

Antifreeze for engine and water circuit

LIQUI MOLY Marine Antifreeze
High-quality antifreeze from established German manufacturer LIQUI MOLY for the external cooling circuit of the machine with anti-corrosion and oxidation additives that reliably protect the lines, pump, heat exchanger and exhaust system.The 5-litre canister of LIQUI MOLY Antifreeze with glycerine-water-based concentrate can be used neat or diluted with water, depending on the desired outdoor temperature protection. For example, the container can be mixed with 4 litres of water (ratio 1:0.8) to obtain 9 litres of ready-to-use antifreeze down to -15 °C. For smaller boats, this amount is sometimes even sufficient for two seasons. Antifreeze is biodegradable and therefore environmentally friendly.ApplicationThe antifreeze is usually poured into the engine's external cooling water circuit via the previously opened seawater filter until the blue-coloured antifreeze emerges from the exhaust while the engine is running. Then stop the engine and close the seawater filter again. Antifreeze must not be used for the drinking water system.

Winter covers deck frames NOA

NOA overhang deck frame extra for (winter storage) tarpaulin
The NOA Extra overhang deck frame forms a roof structure from sturdy aluminium tubes, over which tarpaulins (see "Accessories" further down on this page) are stretched. The yacht is thus well protected, e.g. during winter storage on land in the open air or at a mooring on the water.The construction is suitable for boats / yachts with railing feet as well as bow and stern pulpit with a tube diameter of 22 mm or 25 mm. The overhang deck frame is bolted to the bow and stern pulpit at the front and aft. The centre supports are attached to the railing feet using adapters. The outer tube holds the tarpaulin away from the hull. This prevents chafing on the hull and ensures optimum ventilation.The specified length refers to the upper pole, which forms the ridge of the roof construction.The exact composition of the different sized sets can be found in the assembly instructions (Aufbauanleitung) under "Downloads & Information".The complete set is supplied in a 2.5 metre long cardboard roll. A transport bag is available as an accessory (see below).

The deck frame is screwed to the bow and stern basket at the front and rear. The middle supports are placed on the deck (against the coaming).The specified length range refers to the upper bar, which forms the ridge of the roof structure.

SLAG IN DE RONDTE Board Game
An exciting board game for sailors and landlubbers of all ages, where the channels and sands of the Wadden Sea become the stage for a thrilling race of colourful flat-bottomed boats.Use the tides and the wind to your advantage, place a flag on every island, and be the first to sail back to Harlingen – unless your opponent blocks your way with a seal.SLAG IN DE RONDTE is a board game that allows players to experience sailing on the Wadden Sea in a simple and playful way. It is based on the regatta of the same name, held annually in November as the season finale for the Dutch flat-bottom charter ships of the “Brown Fleet”.For two to five skippers aged 7 and up. Easy to learn, playing time approx. 30-45 minutes. Game rules in German and Dutch.GameplayAfter each player has chosen a ship, the fleet departs from Harlingen, which serves as both the starting and finishing port. The game board shows a map of the West Frisian Islands with their channels and sandbanks. Each skipper charts their own route, making clever use of wind and tides. A wind arrow indicates the current wind direction, while an hourglass shows whether it is ebb or flood. When sailing with the wind and current, a player may roll more dice and move faster than when sailing against them. The ships navigate channels and sandbanks. If a ship ends its move on a tidal flat or in a drying harbour at low tide, it becomes stranded and the player must skip a turn. A seal also swims around the board – if a player places it in front of an opponent’s ship, that ship must take a long detour. Whoever has placed flags on all the islands and in Noorpolderzijl and returns to Harlingen first wins the game.Game components:1 game board with waterways, islands, harbours and sandbanks5 ships in different colours30 flags in different colours1 seal figure1 wind arrow3 dice1 hourglass1 small linen bag for the playing pieces1 rulebook in Dutch and German
