Navagear has made no secret of the fact that we’re fans of the Torqeedo line. So announcements like this aren’t really much of a surprise to us! Still, it’s nice to see Torqeedo getting the recognition. Here’s the release: Taking its commitment to the environment to the next level once again, Torqeedo was recently awarded [...]

I’ve been a fan of the Hobie Mirage products since I first learned about them, some years ago. And just for the record, I don’t own or sell any of these products. I just admire the ingenuity of the design, and I’ve enjoyed watching the product line mature.
Anyway, I stopped by Hobie’s display at the [...]

I love Google Analytics. It provides a lot of information about website performance. It’s fun to see a graph of Navagear’s growth since we relaunched the site about three years ago, for instance:

Besides those big numbers (visits, pageviews, etc.), though, one of my favorite Analytics feature is the Content Overview. I especially like to [...]

Navagear has been fascinated with electric propulsion, and with the Torqeedo motors in particular, for several years now.
So count us “very interested” in this event. IN FACT, let me go so far as to suggest that we would probably not turn down an invitation to crew or cover this event, were it offered.
Anyway, here’s [...]

[Navagear has made no secret of the fact that we’re impressed with the Torqeedo line; we’ve written about several Torqeedo products. So despite the fact that I know very, very little about fishing, I thought I would share this press release with our readers. —Tim]

When it comes to kayak fishing, every advantage counts. That’s why [...]

[We’ve written about the Torqeedo line before. In fact, those earlier articles are consistently top-rated pages at Navagear, suggesting that there is a lot of interest in the product line.
Judging by the comments we receive, some folks even seem to think we are in the business of SELLING Torqeedos! Um, we’re a gear and [...]

The leader in electric propulsion, Torqeedo introduced a revolutionary drive at this year’s METS in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the Ultralight 402. With a total weight of 15 pounds, including battery, it’s the first viable motor for kayaks on the market.

Completely submersible and IP68-rated, it will operate even when fully [...]

It’s interesting for me to monitor which pages get the most views. Naturally the Navagear front page gets the most traffic, but beyond that…which individual blog entries attract visitors?
The results may surprise you.
Refilling disposable propane cylinders appeals to lots of outdoorsy types, not just boaters, so perhaps it isn’t surprising that it’s been the [...]

We’re fascinated by electric outboard motors that can really be used as primary propulsion. Check out our video demonstration of the Torqeedo, for example. 
So look what I spotted over at Craft-A-Craft: a video demonstration of the EPower Marine Whisper XT Electric Outboard. Nice!

I look forward to learning more about this product. To get started, [...]
