Following in the tradition of the newly designed 38kW M944T in 2009, the M673LD3 and M673L3 are diesel dynamos, featuring a new base frame and sound-enclosure design. The new design has accomplished a 20-percent reduction in overall volume from the existing models when equipped with sound enclosures. The WaveNet monitoring system is a significant step forward for the range of Northern Lights panel options. This system gives the user a digital window into the operation and output of the generator, including the percentage of available elec- trical load being used at any given time, and data logging of events. Founded in 1958, Northern Lights is a leading manufacturer of marine-diesel gener- ators, Lugger propulsion engines and Technicold marine systems. The company’s products are distributed through a global sales and service network to over 40 countries. For more information see ad on page 28. Dockwise Yacht Transport Partners with Global Boat Shipping Dockwise Yacht Transport (DYT), headquartered in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, announced in January that it has entered into a legal partnership with Global Boat Shipping (GBS) of Leer, Germany. DYT initially formed a strategic alliance with GBS in November 2008, which enabled increased shipping options for reaching the north- western shores of continental Europe and popular cruising grounds off the southern coast of the UK and the Baltic Sea. GBS has since proven to be extremely valuable, significantly enhancing DYT’s presence in this region; thus, the obvious next step was for the two companies to become legal partners in this industry. TM Yad NVA ANNO DYT's Yacht Express off Martinique with a full cargo of power- and sailboats DYT’s ships utilize semi-submersible dock bays that allow yachts of any size to be safely floated on and off as cargo. Since its maiden voyage in 1987, the company has transported nearly 10,000 motor and sailing yachts to various destinations around the globe, offering owners and charterers safe and easy access to many of the world’s premier cruising grounds. DYT’s additional global routes for its semi-submersibles currently include the US East Coast, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Bahamas, the Pacific West Coast, the South Pacific, and the Caribbean (St. Thomas and Martinique).

We will keep our existing office at Le Phare Bleu marina, which is proving to be very popular with old and new Island Dreams cli- ents. It is great to be able to offer our Guardianage and Yacht Management servic- es at both marina locations, in addition to both of Grenada’s major boatyards — Spice Island Marine and Grenada Marine. Our clients have different requirements depending on how long they have avail- able for sailing and the maintenance they need doing while they are away. Flexibility in location — ashore and afloat, boatyard and marina — enables us to better cater to those who choose to make Grenada their Southern Caribbean sailing base.
