Why you should never go to sea without this bucket

'Here to stay' .

Apologies to the *Duchess of Windsor, but on any sailing boat you can never have too much locker room or too many buckets.

Whether you're washing clothes, cooling off, scrubbing the deck, catching rain, waking an oversleeping crew member or sinking by the bow, life at sea without a bucket would be less than perfect. So that extra COLLAPSIBLE bucket, that you can secret away without taking valuable locker space, is here to stay.

....and there's a new, improved one.

Swobbit? Europe, based in Whitstable in the UK, and one of Europe's well-known manufacturers of marine cleaning equipment, is launching a new, innovative collapsible bucket for 2010. (For those who can attend, you can see it at this year's London International Boat Show (8th - 17th January 2010).

The bucket has a very wide (245mm diameter) rim, enabling it to accommodate a similar brand brush with extreme ease. Furthermore, the new product is coated and sealed with Acrylic fabric, making it extremely strong and resilient and ensuring it retains its shape easily when unpacked from the convenient storage bag. The bucket's stainless steel handle compliments the strong design ensuring its long term durability and performance.

The company also offers an extensive range of products which can be used with the new collapsible bucket including brushes and mops specifically designed for use on a wide range of yachts of varying sizes.

It is priced at ?12.95, (around US$21) to include storage bag.

Many of the company's products have been specially designed for use on a range of yachts and can be easily stored without taking up valuable space onboard. As well as individual products, the company also produces full cleaning maintenance kits which contain everything an owner would require to keep a boat looking at its best.
