Which prem/stroller is good for boat use?

Which prem is good to take on a sailboat? We had a look at foldable strollers which can be reclined. This ruled out the solid built Quinny. The moon fit was a good choice. It is around 7kg and can be folded easily and compact. With a click you can also remove the wheels.

It was very important to be able to recline the seat so Lani can sleep when going out for dinner outside the boat.

Our old mosikto net also fits this one and we added a sunshade from Teutonia instead of an umbrella. In windy areas the umbrella do not withstand a wind stronger than a lite breeze.

We also wanted to have a small storage net for drinking bottle, food and some books and this was also standard as you can see on the left.


From above there is a window so you can have a look at your little one (and the other way around :-) )

The bigger the wheels the better. Then the stroller can be used in rought terrain also. This wheelsize is the absolute minimum.

Folded the unit can be transported easily with one hand and also put in the rubberboat (Dhinghy). For this i would be happy if there would have been a transport bag available (like with Quinny).









The horizontal bar can be easily pulled out to put the baby in or out while sleeping. The harnedd is easy to operate and can be used very flexible. Usually the waist belt is enough.

Sailing for Jesus Christ

Today the ELIDA V was in the marina. She is 40m long and the mast is 45m high!!! She is built from composite and weighs only 95 tons. With a sail area of more than 800squaremeters she can do 20knots. COOL STUFF The boat is holding groups of young people who believe in Jesus Christ but it does not matter to which church they belong. Typically up to 40 young people are guests and the crew is around 12 to 16 people. The boat is very spartanic inside but built very safe and fast. The big Harken winches are operated by grinders and even the anchor is pulled up with them. This is the meeting room below. It can also be used for company sails. Maybe one day we will have our management meeting there. Here you can see Colin from Californa. He showed us around on the boat. Under http://www2.elida.se/default.asp?id=53 you can read more about this fabolous boat. Roger at the steering wheel. Almost as tall as he is :-) Check my big shoe size 47 against the winches and the traveler :-)
