The Kubota generator range consists of the GL series (7kW to 10kW), SQ Series
(14kW to 28kW), KJ series (14kW to 21kW) and J Series (6.5kW to 24kW).
Competitive pricing is matched only by class-leading sound attenuation — Kubota
generators are super-silent.

availability. Customers in the BVI can purchase directly from Parts & Power in Port
Purcell, Tortola. A stock of generators is also held in a bonded warehouse, ready for
immediate dispatch to customers in other parts of the Caribbean.

Sailing Dinghies at Simpson Bay, St. Maarten
Four Optimist dinghies and two Lasers
will be sailing the waters of Simpson Bay,
St. Maarten at the start of 2016.
Sailing Club St. Maarten is a foundation
set up by Pieter Bakker and Mirian
Ebbers to stimulate sailing on St.
Maarten. The foundation has acquired
these boats through sponsoring by
Seatrek, 12 Metre Regatta, Best
Boatyard Services, SWM Group and
Passaat Schooner. All sailing dinghies will
be available on Kim Sha Beach.
“The idea is that local kids and adults
who already know the basics of sailing
can take them out on Saturdays and
Sundays, when they have time off,” says
Pieter Bakker, Chairman of the
Foundation. “We will be charging a
small nominal fee for usage during these
two days and there will be volunteers
available to help, guard and instruct
where needed. By making it affordable,
hassle-free and membership-free, we
hope to achieve our goal of getting
more people living on St. Maarten sailing
and having fun on the calm waters
of Simpson Bay.”
On weekdays the dinghies will be
available to tourists, who can rent them
to go sailing by themselves or with a
small group. The management of the
boats will be in the capable hands of
Coconut Beach Watersports.
In January 2016 an official christening of all sailing dinghies combined with an open
day, inviting all people to come out and try out the watersport facilities will be hosted.
An official notice will be posted a week ahead of time.
