INTRODUCTION TO MARINE WEB SITES

INTRODUCTION TO MARINE WEB SITES.

 

 

The below links to the marine industry are offered for your consideration and research. To view click on the website URL and wait for the various categories to come up. These sites are also an excellent guide  to fuel the learning curve when outfitting a new or currently owned yacht. Many links offer a massive amount of good educational information, this is always helpful in choosing the right equipment for your yacht. Some sites offer pricing as well, which is helpful in the ongoing budget consideration. I am not endorsing any of the products seen herein, most of them speak for themselves, I have put vendor comments from the site as a guide,  but if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to work with you to find the best vendor that can  handle your needs. Although this presentation is directed at the Southern California buyer, there are may sites that are outside the area either state wide or internationally. Granted in most cases you cannot by factory direct, but the research is usually ahead of dealer Sites, and offer locations of area dealers.

 

Web sites come and go and we can’t check them often enough to be sure the URL’s are still operational, so let me know if I have missed one that is no longer active. Also, you will find that many URL’s will be repeated in various categories. This is due to the fact that most companies offer several different types of products. This should make it easier to find the item you are looking for.  I cannot do this with all sites, but have tried to get the major items into various categories.  Many Southern California vendors and technicians, especially those without web sites, can be found on the Marine Directory site at www.marinersworld.com Check Brose all categories for quick results. Also, looking for slips ? go to www.thelog.com and go to the slip’s link. Most Marinas located in the Western United can be found there.

 

I Hope this is helpful to you, and if you have any questions, please contact me on my cell at (949) 230 8573 or at Flying Cloud at (562) 594 9716. E-mail can also me sent from the contact link on this site, or at flyingcloud@verizon.net or www.yachtdreams.net .

 

 

I hope the following sites are helpful in the constant quest for the perfect yacht.

ACCESSORY  CATALOGUES

 

The following categories are well and little known suppliers that offer a variety of marine products, most have on line ordering, or check with your broker for details on additional discounts when buying through a broker – One particular site “The mother of all web sites” is exceptionally interesting and probably the most detailed way to locate almost anything to do with the Marine equipment and life style. One other way to gather information on various products, which include testing information, is to log on to www.practical-sailor.com where you can search for back issues of various equipment that is mostly geared for the sail group,  but there are many items that are easily adaptable to power yachts.

* Tip: Never use harsh acid cleaners or stiff bristle brushes on teak decks if you want them to have along life. Mild detergent and a cotton swab will remove dirt and keep the decks from deteriorating. Salt water applied during the evening hours will help wood greatly and give it a silver grey finish.
