Education for you:

Seven Seas Cruising Association presents the Seven Seas University
Great Lakes Cruising Club presents the GLCC-School
I attended Alex & Daria's Webinar at www.GLCCSchool.com and it was excellent! I am a coordinator and fellow instructor at the GLCCSchool, so I may be biased, but I see a lot of the webinars and theirs is among the very best. You can still view the recording, just register for it at the GLCCSchool website.

Editorial Reviews for Happy Hooking

  • Ocean Cruising Club
    "It may well become the definitive textbook on the subject"
  • Cruising Club of America
    "It should be mandatory reading for novice sailors and charter operators would do well to place copies throughout their fleet. This would be an excellent gift to up-and-coming boaters"
  • SkipperTips.com
    "(It) could become the single most important guide to anchoring for the modern sailor of the 21st century"
  • News From The Bow
    "Best Anchoring Reference"
  • Sail-world.com
    "It might be compulsory reading for the new sailor, but even the most experienced will find much new material here."
  • Latitude 38
    "(It) is well organized, well illustrated, user friendly in its delivery, and even fun."

CoastalBoating.net is dedicated to the joy of coastal boating, coastal sailing, coastal cruising, and coastal racing. The primary objective of this site is to empower sailors and those who would like to be sailors to go out and enjoy their sport and passtime - to enjoy boating in whatever form it takes for the sake of boating.

Coastal Boating provides the best all around experience for boaters who would like a local resource guide that also covers local news, including race results, and seamanship skills. It is not intended to prepare people for the great offshore experience: there are plenty of resources out there for that. It is for all of the rest of us who may dream about a big adventure yet find ourselves perfectly content, if not driven, to experience the waters in our own territory to the fullest.

Please be aware that boating, as most other water sports, can be dangerous. You should not attempt it without first receiving competent instruction. Coastal Boating and White Seahorse, Inc. will not accept any liability whatsoever related to content on our website.
