Hi Simon
I used one of these (albeit the Ubiquiti Bullet http://www.wifiking.com/en/ubiquiti-networks/bullet/?gclid=CNGIzdeDj7YCFcbKtAod1XcAOw )with great success last year en route to Turkey. Sailing along coast of Spain we were able to pick up hotel wifi which is often unsecured along with many other hotspots. When anchored in a bay a trip ashore for a cold beer provides the password from your local bar which can then be accessed when back on board. The antenna was on a pole mounted aft and connected to a router to which was also connected a sat phone so we could choose which system to use.

On this subject, has anyone had any practical first hand experience of Bad Boy Xtreme Wi-Fi aerial system?

Just discovered this nifty device on the OCC Facebook site. It amplifies Wifi signals and feeds them into a router so that weak shore based stations an be accessed by all wifi device on board.
