3.8m Stacer: “I’d take the tinny anywhere with the Collar on”
“Boat Collar is awesome. Exceeds expectation. At full-speed, I turned [the tiller] so hard, it’s all I could do to hang on, as the boat just stayed flat and cut brilliantly.”Chop turned to smooth on the way to Maroochy Mouth, and it was gusting to 41km/h at test time. Stable stationary and under way. Bow…
Read More4.8m Express Zephyr with Boat Collar: “Stability…improved immensely”
“The results were fantastic! SO much stability [sic] now. Even when 3 onboard plus a toddler (that’s trust) moved to one side of the boat, there was hardly any tilt or movement. Freedom to move around the boat without movement was such a relief. Even when only 2 were aboard, previously, it was like ‘musical chairs’ to keep the balance. Getting…

Attached is the photo of my wife driving our 3.7m Stacer fitted with a Kapten Boat Collar. We are 9kms east of Dirk Hartog Island, heading for Denham townsite another 30kms east. Jo drove all the way with support from our 7m [mother-boat]. It was her first time driving a dinghy, and she felt safe.…

I am overwhelmed with the improvement the Boat Collar has made to our pride and joy. At the pontoon, Rhonda found it far more stable to climb into. The difference I did note was a lower planing speed than previous running and very easy to trim quickly. On slowdown it was also less prone to…

Read More550 Savage Cobia: “With the collar … no worries!!”
I took the boat out for sea trials in Morton Bay with a strong South easterly at about 20 knots the sea was about 600 to 700 mm chop and I travelled straight in to it. Normally I would have to slow down so I would not have the spray into my face!! With the collar…
Read More6 metre fibreglass Hooker: “I wish I’d put the Collar on years ago”
We ended up fitting the Collar early in the new year and WOW! What a difference to the boat. No more sideways lean while travelling at speed and the collar cuts the spray back down even with a strong side wind so she’s a much dryer boat. And at rest the stability is awesome. It…

“I’m a keen fisherman up here in croc country, and I enjoy getting out on the water as often as I can – sometimes four times a week when the weather is good. I’ve got a 5 metre aluminium plate, side console boat and though I’m not a great swimmer, who wants to go swimming…
