Sail Craft

Decisions, decisions

noreply@blogger.com (Boating Enthusiast) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 06:31:00 +0000

I want a Jacuzzi on the sun deck of my yacht. Unfortunately, I spent all my yacht allowance on matching the dog's beds to the curtains. It appears I'm going to have to get some boat financing. And if I apply for loans online, why, Hubert need never know that I've spent a little extra on the yacht!

Now I don't fancy going down to the bank - I'm not about to stand in a queue! I shall simply get an online personal loan. I can get my money so much faster that way. I just fill out the loan application and ta-da! I'm approved!

Now do I want the Jacuzzi in blue, green or black?

Phone Escapee

noreply@blogger.com (Boating Enthusiast) — Tue, 13 May 2008 03:08:00 +0000

I was invited to join an important video call with some VIPs the other day but, as my mobile is not 3G, was unable to take the call and missed out on some possible opportunites. This unpleasant incident has convinced me that I must upgrade my current mobile phone to a new 3G model as soon as possible so I don't miss out on any other vital calls.

I'm hoping to buy a new mobile online so I won't need to run around many shops comparing prices with a sales assistant following me everywhere. I don't want an absurdly expensive phone but I also don't want cheap mobiles as i've found that you usually get what you pay for even after researching your options first. It has definitely been the case with my laptop!

There are so many mobile phones with so many features that it's hard to choose the right phone to buy. I know I want a 3G mobile with VOIP, fast internet speeds, a large screen, and decent sized buttons, but even narrowing down by those features still results in several suitable mobiles. I'll have to look up some reviews to get me on the right track.

Sailing Tips Sites

noreply@blogger.com (Boating Enthusiast) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 04:13:00 +0000

Searching through dozens of useless websites for sailing tips, I discovered many websites containing a lot of handy information. Sites such as these are accounts from a website which allows its users to share their favourite sites from an endless variety of subjects.

Phillip has recommended several interesting sites displaying information on credit cards and investments. Dorothy has featured a vast amount of useful finance sites, and Zoron has shown his true colours with all his wedding and loans sites.

New Jobs Website Launches

noreply@blogger.com (Boating Enthusiast) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 01:27:00 +0000

The high ranking Australian jobs and career website, Jobs.com.au, has partnered with JOBX in a move to improve the customer experience with greater search functionality and a wider variety of advertised positions. The Jobs.com.au business was acquired in June 2007 by a Brisbane-based web publishing firm. Since the original relaunch of Jobs.com.au in 2007, the website has continued its rise in popularity to its current standing as one of the highest ranking job sites in Australia.

Brisbane, QLD (PRWEB) April 19, 2008 -- The high ranking Australian jobs and career website, Jobs.com.au, has partnered with JOBX in a move to improve the customer experience with greater search functionality and a wider variety of advertised positions. The Jobs.com.au business was acquired in June 2007 by a Brisbane-based web publishing firm. Since the original relaunch of Jobs.com.au in 2007, the website has continued its rise in popularity to its current standing as one of the highest ranking job sites in Australia.

Jobs.com.au Screenshot

Jobs.com.au CEO, Peter Andronicos, understood the need for a more comprehensive user experience if the website was to grow, the dynamic career website JOBX was approached to further develop the functionality of Jobs.com.au. This partnership has benefited JOBX by providing them with much more high quality traffic than they would normally have expected and has shown exceptional results in a very limited amount of time. A marked increase in the exploration of the pages on Jobs.com.au has also been felt, demonstrating that users have embraced the changes with gusto.

With the unemployment rate at astonishing lows of 4.0% in March 2008, job search sites offer more potential than ever before in helping people into the careers they want. Low unemployment and a high level of new jobs being advertised every day means that users more than ever before will need easily accessible and understandable help to sort through the massive range of career choices. Signs that job advertisements have fallen in both February and March indicates some slowing of the economy, but this makes it more vital than ever to get into the right job before competition rises again.

Using the JOBX platform allows Jobs.com.au to provide a range of tools and resources for job seekers. From job-related videos, including tips on how to do well in interviews to inspiration and advice from experts in their field. There's also a range of web 2.0 features such as the job wiki, polls, webinars, job news, competitions and podcasts. Jobs.com.au also provides a cheaper alternative for employers to advertise a job online with listings starting from just $29.95.

Jobs.com.au provided a portal to many top career websites and job search tools from its original launch in 2007, but the redesign of the site has dramatically improved the range of user experience. A powerful search tool has been added to the site, making it much more convenient to find the best jobs, as well as a massive expansion of the job categories index to help users of all kinds to narrow down their search criteria even further. Additionally, extra resources and training possibilities have been added to the Jobs.com.au site by JOBX, giving users help beyond just searching through advertised positions.

CreditCards.com.au New Website - Press Release

noreply@blogger.com (Boating Enthusiast) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 01:26:00 +0000

Choosing the right credit card can be a daunting task. Now there is a new website that allows Australian consumers to compare credit cards in one location. CreditCards.com.au is a highly respected Australian website designed to help ordinary people bust through the jargon and fine print to find and apply for the best credit card.

Brisbane, QLD (PRWEB) April 18, 2008 -- Choosing the right credit card can be a daunting task. Often the bank's own website buries important details deep in pages of fine print.

Now there is a new website that allows Australian consumers to compare credit cards in one location. CreditCards.com.au is a highly respected Australian website designed to help ordinary people choose the best credit card for their needs.

Credit Cards Comparison Table

The high-ranking web portal, CreditCards.com.au provides the vital information on a wide range of credit cards, as well as links to hundreds of applications for credit cards from Australian financial institutions. Frequent articles and industry news provides information on the top 10 credit cards in Australia. Customers are also given excellent opportunities to find great deals for themselves with practical comparison charts and even a credit card savings calculator.

The extensive range of credit card comparison tools on offer at CreditCards.com.au is part of the site's appeal. "Not everyone has the same credit card needs, and it's always better to make a decision from a position of knowledge." The freedom of customers to make their own informed decisions is valued highly at CreditCards.com.au.

Not everyone has the same credit card needs, and it's always better to make a decision from a position of knowledge.

Providing accessible and transparent information about what's available in the credit card industry to Australian's from all walks of life, CreditCards.com.au is the perfect aid to anybody's search for the best credit cards.

Ahoy Ye Land Lubbers!

noreply@blogger.com (Boating Enthusiast) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 04:52:00 +0000

It's about time I bought myself a sail craft...a yacht to be precise! Nothing huge or fancy but big enough to take a few mates fishing. I'm going to need a personal loan to afford this new toy and I do believe i'll be able to get a better deal with secured loans.

I've been using my brother's boat for the past year and I think he's getting a bit fed up with scraping the fish remains off the deck, fair enough really! I should get him some sort of fish-related thankyou present like one of those annoying, singing fish wall plaques, i'm sure he'd appreciate that!

I need to find out exactly what are secured loans so I have all the requirements to be successful with an application. Fishing heaven here I come!

Enjoy the Weather While its Still Warm

noreply@blogger.com (Boating Enthusiast) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 02:00:00 +0000

With the warm days fleeting, i've started getting out on the water as much as I can! It's so nice relaxing in a seaside park then heading out into the sunset on the water. It would make the perfect wedding venue when the time comes.

One day I hope to travel up to Spain or Italy and spend the Summer there on the water. I think i'll have to save up a fair few airline rewards from my credit card to consider such a holiday...or perhaps I could look into trade jobs working on a boat up there for a season, I wonder if that would work. Here's hoping!

Have you damaged your yacht and need repairs?

noreply@blogger.com (Boating Enthusiast) — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 23:00:00 +0000

You can expect to make yacht repairs and/or routine maintenance work to your yacht or boat at same stage during its lifetime because it is all part of keeping your vessel safe to sail and keeping it looking beautiful. Even if your yacht is not damaged you may choose to make some repairs or refits to improve its performance. The type of repair work you will need will ultimately depend on your situation. You may require welding, sandblasting, electrical fit outs, modifications, painting, and cleaning to ensure the lifetime of your sailboat. The hull is the most commonly damaged area and ideally it should be checked every time your yacht is not in the water. You should check for corrosion of bolts and bearings and check hull attachments. Bumps and scratches are a common cause of hull cracks. Any damages to your yacht or boat need to be taken care of straight away. Make sure you have a repair kit ready with duct tape, epoxy resin, and a paint or gel. If you can't do the repair and maintenance work yourself be sure to contact a professional yacht repairer.
