Boating Accessories

By Richard Romando


If you�re a new boat owner, you obviously need accessories. Before you launch your boat there are certain accessories that are essential for on the water and on shore. Accessories include, boating radios, safety equipment, fish finders, seats, blinds and carpeting. Accessories used to dock and anchor your craft are also very important items. There are several kinds of docking ropes available. Anchors must be heavy enough to keep the craft moored, but not too heavy to increase the overall weight of the boat when sailing.

There are also boating accessories that allow you to personalize your craft. There are hundreds of accessories that can give your boat a unique look that reflects your personality. Lighting, marine fixtures and hinges can be custom designed to your specifications, and you can decide what you want changed on your boat or what you�d like to keep the same.

The point is, there are many ways to accessorize your boat and you can find thousands of accessories and ideas in your local marine shop or online. There are all kinds of options available to make your boating experience the ultimate in style and enjoyment. Check out your options and have fun.

Inflatable boats will have a logo, decal or other branding on them most of the time. If not, they should all have an I.D. plate or patch identifying the boat brand, model, serial number, length, width, weight, capacities, manufacturer contact info and more. This plate is often located on the transom (back) of the boat. Contact the manufacturer using a Supplier's Index to attain information you may be looking for or may require in the future.


The stability of an inflatable boat, thanks to its large buoyancy tubes and resulting low center of gravity, is such that under normal circumstances it is practically impossible to capsize. This quality, which is essential to safe confident navigating, is especially appreciated by divers and fisherman.

Sailing Crew Wanted - Atlantic Crossing U S To Med May 2009

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:20:44 +0200
We live aboard our beautiful 52-foot staysail schooner Marguerite (blue-water boat, built in 1983, major re-fits in 2000 and 2007, coast-guard approved, comfortable and sea-kindly) and plan to take her to the Mediterranean in late spring next year. "We" refers to Skipper Jim, First Mate Barbara, and First Mascot Sam. Despite her classic looks, Marguerite has modern equipment (roller furling jib, staysail, and foresail, in-mast furled main, state-of-the art electronics) that make it easy for the two of us, with occasional help by the cat, to sail her. For our transatlantic crossing (May/June 2008, via Bermuda and the Azores, with first landing in Portugal), though, we would like to have two additional crew members to share the experience and the watches. We are looking for experienced sailors who can stand watch by themselves and contribute to sailing and navigation.
