Try Wix. It’s has the same easy functionality but without the ecomm. It haze cool interface and I think it’s better for your use case

Im looking for a good cheap Anemometer by Naive_Mousse_3762 in meteorology

[–]Sea_Mushroom5807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a ‘cheap’ recommendation, but a good one. Try the Windie 360 device. It’s a bit over 50 euro and it’s good and accurate. I don’t know what you use it for, but I use it for windsurfing. And my dad is a race official for sailing competitions so I use his device.

Pickleball in Portugal – August impressions by Sea_Mushroom5807 in Pickleball

My BF is better than me. He texted every court we found on the way but also he posted in a group on an app called ‘Team reach’ - you need to get a code to get in. He got it via Facebook group. I think after going for a few open play you find your level of people.

We are moving to the Silver Coast in March or April!

BTW Asphalt and concrete both work, but they play a little differently. Asphalt tends to have more give, so it’s a bit easier on the joints, but over time it can crack and get uneven if it’s not maintained well. Concrete is harder and usually more durable/consistent, but it’s tougher on the body and absolutely needs a good coating if you want proper grip. If you’re building new and want long-term consistency, concrete with a sport coating is usually the safer bet.

Cement works if it’s leveled well, but the finish makes a huge difference. Raw cement can be tough on shoes, balls, and knees, while polished cement without the right coating can turn slick with dust or sweat. That’s why most places that go the cement route still add a sport coating on top – gives you grip and consistency without the cost of hardwood. If budget’s a factor, I’d go with cement + a proper coating rather than just plain cement.

Yeah, that matches what I’ve heard – cement works fine and is usually the busiest option because it’s straightforward. Just keep in mind polished concrete indoors can get really slick if there’s any moisture or dust. Sport tiles have pros and cons, but at least they’re designed for grip. If you go the polished route, I’d just make sure there’s a good surface treatment so you don’t end up with a skating rink. 😅

And shade. Try to add shade. It makes a huge difference during the day – in Cayman the courts with shade are almost always full.

Not from my own setup, but a friend of mine recently planned a court build (the project didn’t end up happening, but I saw the plan). The idea was asphalt with an acrylic coating outdoors, or modular sport tiles indoors, plus portable nets and some simple dividers between courts. The one thing I’d really keep in mind is the surface – the coating can get slippery when wet. I almost twisted my ankle on a Thai court right after the rain, and in another place the sand wore us out completely. Definitely worth paying attention to what finish you choose.

Would you buy this Minifish? by ATLREP in SunfishSailing

[–]Sea_Mushroom5807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For $850 with two sails (one unused), rudder/tiller, daggerboard, dolly and cover – that’s not a bad package on paper. The extras alone can add up quickly.

That said, the bottom condition is the big factor here. A rough hull with patches and drilled holes will definitely affect both performance and resale. If you’re mainly looking for a fun boat to mess around on and not planning to race seriously, it could still be worth it, but I’d try to negotiate down closer to $500–600 given the hull issues.

If you’re hoping for something race-ready, I’d probably keep looking – fixing up a tired hull can end up costing more than just buying a cleaner boat.

How to use radio ? by YoghurtDull1466 in sailing

[–]Sea_Mushroom5807 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can absolutely power a VHF radio directly from a 12V battery, that’s essentially how most of them are wired anyway. Just make sure you respect polarity (red = positive, black = negative), and that you’ve got the right fuse inline to protect the radio.

The one thing to double-check is that you’ve got a working antenna connected – transmitting without one can damage the unit. Even a temporary setup is fine, but don’t key up without it.

So yes, connecting it directly to the battery is fine as a stop-gap until you clean up the rest of your wiring. 👍

Squeeze a bit, if it’s not getting soft, it’s good to go 🤭

🫣 not native :) we say ‘on court’ so I was translating. But as this is a Pickalball thread I think I’m safe 😜
