Dave Pascoe's Survey Site. A fantastic
resource of information on boats and systems. Geared more toward
large boats there is a wealth of knowledge for all to learn from. |

USPS is a non profit, educational organization dedicated to making boating safer
and more enjoyable by teaching classes in seamanship, navigation and related
subjects. |
BoatingLinks.com
Web Directory, find what you're looking for!
|
Another library of links.
If you are on a mission, this is a good place to browse! |
Weather Underground
|
All the weather info you could
shake a stick at. I linked to the Marine portion, but there is much
more as well! |
The
Georgia Boater |
Here is a nifty site created and
hosted by Rob Boydston. Don't let the name fool you, this site has a
lot of information any new boater will be interested in. Notably
tips and rules on navigation, anchoring, safety, and weather. If you are
from Georgia or the southeast, even better! |

A nice site for window shopping.
Many features. |
|
http://www.yachtworld.com/ |
YachtWorld.Com. A nice online magazine type site.
A lot of good reading. My favorite site for looking at BOATS FOR
SALE and pictures. A site you might like to visit while at the
office <grin>. |
http://www.fwboats.com/
|
Another boat buying site.
This one specializes in freshwater boats. |
|
An outstanding site of boating
knowledge for all. Quizes, glossary, news. Very well done! |
|
Boat U.S. is the Boat Owners
Association of the U.S. Sort of a AAA for boats. If you are
serious about boating, join this organization! The WEB site is
worthy of home page designation in your browwer. Check out the Buying
Guide and consumer
affairs section for very pertinent information. |
|
This is actually a retail site
for marine equipment, engines in particular. I add this link as Mike
(marine power technician) is a frequent contributor to online discussions
regarding marine power issues. He is also working in a FAQ which
will prove to be useful to those looking for information. Check this
site out for the cost of a new stern drive if you are worried about
trashing yours on stumps and other flotsam you might encounter. |
|
Ok, this site is a bit of a
personal favorite. If you are one of the growing number of boaters
in the mid-Atlantic region this site has much information on Bay going-ons
as well as basic information for boating and equipment. Very well
done. |
|
Here is another site for those
new and interested in Chesapeake Bay Boating. This is mostly a well
laid out digest site of everything Maryland Boating. However, they
also have taken the time to compile databases of boat ramps, destinations,
and other original content to pass along to the boating enthusiast.
Well laid out, not overly glitzy, and informative. |
|
Author Charles T. Low gave me a
heads up on his web site and book. This site goes beyond describing
his book and has features such as Tips, Questions and Answers, and Links.
Most focus on the black art of, you guessed it, Boat Docking!
Definitely worth a visit. |
|
Here is a really nifty site for
learning navigation in an online class format. I have NOT gone
through it myself. My one comment is, WEB based learning is fine,
but can't replace experience. Be sure you get some hands on training
from a live expert as well. |
|
So, someone drops me a note and asks if I know any good
sources for fiberglass repair. "No." But here a
bunch of links. Those of us cleaning up from a season of hard use
should be able to find everything we need.
