CruiserTV Ep#5: Cruising with Kids

Teena travels to Luperon, Dominican Republic and stays aboard SV Aphrodite with the Escher family for an episode of Cruising with Kids. Meet Lorraine and Rick Escher in this up close and personal interview and find out what it is like to sail with four kids on board - a ten year old, and eight year old, and five year old twins! As they make their way around the Caribbean and decide just how far they will go on this hopeful circumnavigation. Find their blog here : www.aphrodite.cat

"Mantus is the best choice for your primary boat anchor. In addition, Mantus breaks down for easy storage, so there is no reason to compromise on your storm anchor choice."
Commercial on Spinlock deck vests provided by APS (www.APSltd.com), created by the Fenn family as a product review.
Please note:
Deckvest Cento (video says it is a Deckvest. There are a few versions of the Deckvest. This is the CENTO. It is for children, or small adults, weighing 20-50kgs)
The “D ring” referred to in the video is not a D ring. D ring is the big metal loop a lot of other manufacturers use. This is a Dyneema soft loop harness attachment point.
More info:
• Video . This video was made directly by us at Spinlock. A good video showing the features of the Deckvest CENTO.
• Life Jacket and Buoyan... . Here is another that was made in conjunction with the RYA and Spinlock. It goes through all the different options for children.

Hi Tina, the subject is great, the audio quality, sorry to say, is terrible with various level: I just cannot hear anything your guests were saying, except on the Spinloc review and Bob's Boatshows preview. Another wish: I wished you showed/mentioned the make of the yellow life-jacket min 21:56. Please take this as a positive and constructive feedback. Best Regards!
