Boating & Sailing

Welcome to the Boating and Sailing section at Suite 101. Here we'll explore safe vessel use, procedures for boating emergencies, clean/green boating practices, and vessel maintenance for all boats, from yachts and catamarans, to schooners, cruisers, trawlers, and wooden sailboats.

For recreational boaters we discuss seamanship, fishing, diving, navigation, ideal ports and marinas, rigging, knots, signals, all while learning how to protect our natural environment. There will also be increased focus on boating safety, particularly during holiday seasons, and racing news and results.

So sit back and enjoy the learning experience!
