Sending us files: Instructions

We need your help to make the Coastal Boating website valuable for all to use. Suggestions for content and contributions are most welcome. Please indicate where you think your content should go. Letters to the editor are also welcome. We reserve the right to edit and post letters we think would be useful to our readers.

If you are submitting a manuscript and/or photographs, please advise us by e-mail so that we know to look for it. We will respond to your inquiry usually within 4 weeks.

If you are submitting graphics for advertising, please call to let us know you've uploaded a file AND WHAT YOU NAMED IT as soon as possible. We cannot post any advertising without a reservation form, which may also upload with your file.

Thank you from all of us at CoastalBoating.net!

File Compression:

All files sent in should be zipped. Besides making the file smaller, the file compression puts a 'protective shell' around the file, so it is well worth compressing even the smallest files.

WinZip (PC) is available from: http://www.winzip.com/

We can also accept PDF files.
