We only use true marine grade stereos, most "marine stereos" are just car stereos with a white face. To meet our stringent standards, all circuit boards must have a conformal waterproof coating, the entire unit must have a drip shield cover, and it has to sound great! We can expand this system to include cockpit speakers, a waterproof remote control, an auxiliary input, full ipod control, and even subwoofers if you really want your boat to ROCK.
THE BWY COASTAL CRUISING PACKAGE INCLUDES:
ALL BASE BOAT AND LAKE & DAYSAILING PACKAGE EQUIPMENT PLUS THE FOLLOWING
CUSTOM OUTHAUL
The standard factory outhaul uses a line and a small mooring cleat to adjust the outhaul tension, while this does work, it is very difficult to adjust accurately. Our custom outhaul runs the line through a small turning block and into a clam cleat making it easy to adjust.
SINGLE LINE REEFING
This will allow you to quickly and easily reef the mainsail from the cockpit, no need to go forward to the mast in windy conditions. This keeps you safe and comfortable.
The echoMap 50s Chartplotter is a great compact unit that forms the heart of your navigation electronics system.
AIS stands for Automatic Identification System, a new system that allows you to display the position, speed, and course of all large commercial vessels (and many larger yachts) directly on your chartplotter screen. Cheryl and I have had it on our boat for almost a year now and have been very happy with the performance.
COMPASS
We use a really nice compass that is a combination bulkhead mount and handbearing compass. You can leave it on it's mount on the cabin back, or lift it out to take handbearings. It is also easy to store it away for security and to keep it out of the weather.
Recent advances in technology have added new features to this long standing piece of boating safety equipment. This radio is tied to your GPS receiver to provide automatic distress broadcasts. An optional wireless remote gives you a handheld unit to use in the cockpit or on deck.
AM/FM/CD MARINE STEREO
DODGER
This compact dodger covers the companionway hatch to keep out rain and wind, without blocking access to the foredeck. You can now stand inside the boat, out of the elements, and still see what is around you. Comfort in the cockpit is also improved as the dodger blocks a lot of spray, wind, and rain before it reaches the driver. With the optional zip in dodger doors, you can completely enclose the cabin, and still have the light, open feel of having the hatch board and sliding cabin top open. For summer, we also offer the zip in doors in screen so you can get great ventilation without letting the bugs in.
SEAWARD SINGLE BURNER BUTANE STOVE
A stove on your boat is something that people tend to give a lot of thought to, one of the highlights of owning your boat is enjoying your dinner outside with a view! With that in mind we recommend purchasing a propane BBQ to compliment the stove, as this allows you to quickly cook your steak, burgers, or whatever, outside. The stove is great for cooking scrambled eggs or bacon in the morning or giving you hot water for your coffee or tea. It can also cook up beans to go with your steak or burgers! We have been using this Butane stove for several years now, it offers the high heat output and cooking efficiency of Propane, but without the need for dedicated sealed lockers for large high pressure tanks. Butane stores at very low pressure (about 15 PSI) so it can be packaged in small cans much like a spray paint can, they are simple to use and provide about 3 to 4 hours of cooking at high heat. This stove boils water in less than half the time of alcohol, and doesn't turn your cookware black.
FOLDING DINETTE TABLE
A BWY custom modification of the standard factory table. While the interior is comfortable and well laid out, you will have lot's more room to move about the cabin with the table folded in half when not in use. We find that most of the time a small table is adequate for a bowl of chips or a couple of drinks, and we really like having the extra room to move around, especially if someone is working at the galley.

MAINSAIL COVER
We provide a high quality Sunbrella cloth cover to protect the mainsail while the boat is moored.
TRAILERING AND SUN COVER FOR JIB
We provide a long Sunbrella Cloth cover that pulls up over the Jib (or Genoa) to protect it from the sun while you aren't using your boat, and to keep dirt and road grime off of it while trailering. While it does take a minute or two to put the cover on, we prefer this approach to sewing a UV cover onto the edge of the Jib for three reasons: 1) The UV cover adds a lot of weight to the sail (not much of a problem on big boats, but a big deal on these more modest sized sails) which makes it not fly well in light wind 2) The sewn on UV cover becomes part of the sail itself, and cannot protect it from road grit and grime, the stuff still comes through the cracks and into the sail, and 3)The UV cover tends to age differently than the rest of the sail. Many sails need to replaced just because the shape has been ruined by the UV cover. New for 2011, our cover has sewn on tabs for an optional flutter control line, this keeps the cover from flapping when your boat is moored in strong winds.
12V ACCESSORY PLUG
A Heavy Duty cigarette lighter style plug inside near the galley. You can charge your cell phone or run a laptop computer or many other 12 volt devices.
12 VOLT CIRCUIT BREAKER PANEL
This nice 6 position panel provides individual switches and circuit breakers for many of the optional accessories eliminating a lot of inline fuses and wiring clutter.
HIGH EFFICIENCY LED INTERIOR LIGHTING
We install two really bright LED lights (above the dinette and galley) to provide effective cabin lighting with very low power consumption. For 2010 these lights are even brighter and nicer looking than before.
BWY CUSTOM STERN RAIL SEATS
One of our most popular accessories! The seats give you extra room in the cockpit area and double as a really good place to hang the BBQ. Everyone likes to have a really comfortable place to lounge around in the cockpit, and these seats are the place! They look nice, and truly make the cockpit enough roomier to seat 2 extra people. For even more comfort check out our optional Seat Cushions and Backrest Cushions.
STEERING PEDESTAL GRAB HANDLE
Mounted to the front of the steering pedestal, this stainless steel loop style grab handle is a great way to balance yourself in the cockpit.
TRANSOM FILLER
Under the helm seat is an open area, our transom filler will keep your valuables inside the cockpit and help reduce engine noise.
CUSTOM STRIPING ( WHITE HULL BOATS )
Nice accent striping in three tone gray that makes the boat look great !
MAINSHEET BLOCK WITH SNAP SHACKLE
Having a snap shackle quick release where the mainsheet attaches to the traveler makes it quick and easy to remove for trailering, or to move it off to the side for convenience while moored.
MAST BASE BALL BEARING
The standard rotating mast works well in stronger winds, but doesn't turn smoothly in light wind. This ball bearing upgrade solves the problem and allows the mast to rotate really easily.
SECOND 12 GALLON FUEL TANK
With a total of 24 Gallons of fuel, you can get over 100 miles range at high speed cruise, and up to 200 miles range at lower speeds.
HALYARDS LED TO COCKPIT
This option, combined with single line reefing and our mainsail modifications allows your to raise, lower, or reef your mainsail without leaving the cockpit. This is a real convenience and safety item
