| General Power Boating |
Powerboat-reports.com |
A subscription-based web site. In-depth boat and product reviews, technically
very astute. Worth the money! |
| DocksideReports.com |
David Pascoe has some excellent information on boating, boat construction, etc. |
| Boat Reviews |
BoatTest.com |
The best thing about this site are the boat test videos. They also have tables
of test results, like fuel consumption and other performance items.
|
| Boating Industry |
Boating Industry International |
A free site that has a lot of industry-related stories. Includes yachting and
PWC stuff, too, so this may not be a site for you. |
| Survival Gear |
Equipped To Survive |
An independent organization which tests survival gear like EPIRBS, survival
knives, etc. Very useful.
|
| Ropes & Knots |
New England Ropes |
New England Ropes is one of the market leaders. This is a great site for not
only product info, but also instructions on knots and splices. A little hard to
navigate for certain things, click HERE to access the rope
splicing page. |
| Charts |
US NOAA Raster Navigation Chart Page |
Up-to-date official raster chart files that can be viewed and printed on your
computer.
