CAI offers the most useful and simple-to-operate

SSB system afloat.

You choose channels by turning a thumbwheel selec- tor, and any one of 40 plug in cards, pre-programmed to a particular frequency and mode, is decoded and fed into a frequency syn- thesizer. No crystals. No re- tuning. No problems. You're instantly on-frequency with 1/2 part per million stability.

The CA-35 MS System—de- pendable as it is simple— comes with a 3 year guaran- tee. Send for our Marine

Exxon And Sun Oil

Apply For Subsidy

To Build 5 Tankers

Construction subsidy applica- tions have been submitted to the

Maritime Administration, Wash- ington, D.C., for the construction of five more tankers.

Two are 129,000-deadweight-ton tankships to be built for Northern

Sun Shipping Co., Inc., and Mary- land Sun Shipping Co. Inc., subsid- iaries of the Sun Oil Co. They are estimated to cost $37 million each and when delivered would haul oil chiefly from North and West Africa and the Persian Gulf to U.S. Atlan- tic Coast ports north of Cape Hat- teras.

Meanwhile, Exxon Corp. also filed applications for both construc- tion and operating subsidy for three tankers of 37,000 dwt. They would be used to haul petroleum from

Caribbean producing areas to the

United States.

POLYESTER—POLYPROPYLENE COMBINATION (shown below)

HIGH MELTING POINT—250°C.—High fusing resistance under use. Low slippage on winch drums when loaded.

ELASTIC PROPERTIES for special use on mooring winches. Elongation 15% at break.

HIGH BREAKING STRENGTH. 10% above ordinary polypropylene ropes.

DENSITY—The only floating rope with high melting point.

RESISTANT against deterioration from sun- rays/oilspill/ saltwater. Still soft in low temperature use.

NORSEPLAIT 8-BRAID POLYPROPYLENE SPLITFIBRE ROPE (shown above) replaces manila ropes for all purposes (slewing guys, slings, heaving lines, halyards, etc.).

NORSEPLAIT offers a higher breaking load than manila—(it is not recommended to reduce the dimen- sion of NORSEPLAIT by more than Vi" less than a manila rope intended for similar use. This is to avoid after use, as NORSEPLAIT, thus offering good handling qualities—is rot proof and unaffected by most known chemicals—has a similar elasticity as manila—is ultra violet stabilized against effects of sun rays, as for

NORSEPLAIT.

NORSEPLAIT is more economical in use than manila.

Bertram Yacht Names

Werner Kuhnke VP

Paul Schaffer, president of Ber- tram Yacht Division of Whittaker

Corporation, Miami, Fla., has an- nounced the promotion of Werner

Kuhnke, formerly production man- ager, to the new position of vice president of manufacturing.

Mr. Schaffer noted that Bertram production has more than quad- rupled since Mr. Kuhnke became production manager in 1966 and that this increase in volume has not altered the company's commitment or ability to build the highest qual- ity production yacht in America.

He credited this tradition of quality to the skills of Bertram personnel, including Mr. Kuhnke, whose back- ground in ship and pleasure craft manufacturing started in Germany and in Switzerland, after which he moved to the United States in 1956 to establish a boatbuilding plant for another manufacturer.

Working out of Bertram Yacht's headquarters and major production facilities in Miami, Mr. Kuhnke in his new capacity will be responsible for the manufacturing operations on the line of quality fiberglass yachts ranging in size from 25 feet to 58 feet.
